Impeccable Source

[Simster]

Every player has his price and LB has now gone.

No he hasn't.

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Has Gus sold anyone yet to raise the funds?

He has said he would take £10m for Fletcher and Celtic have offered £6m for him. Other than that I haven't heard of any other Sunderland player having an offer made on them.

If Gus hopes that Bridcutt signs in time to play against Man U tomorrow he had better take Celtic up on their offer and put £4m on Blooms desk tomorrow morning.

Well he can't play v Man U anyway, as he's Carling Cup-tied

 

[Goldstone76]

I cant see LB going to Sunderland at all. Why trade a potential promotion with a very likely relegation? If he goes anywhere it will be to a mid table.. likely to stay up team. My feeling is that he will stay until the end of this season then head off.. he will stay.. certainly if we get promotion I feel.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

No he hasn't.

My source says the deal is done.

Impeccable Source
well they all say that don't they
lets all worry or otherwise when or if it happens

 

[Simster]

My source says the deal is done.

And my source says he isn't going anywhere at this point, unless the offer is increased substantially. People can make their own minds up I guess.

Someone had better tell Gus that then.

It says here:

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet hopes to sign Brighton midfielder Liam Bridcutt in the next 24 hours.

Poyet worked with the former Chelsea junior when in charge of the Seagulls.

Sky Sports says the Black Cats hope to have reached an agreement with Brighton for the highly-rated midfielder by the time they face Manchester United in the Capital One Cup semi-finals on Tuesday.

[The Merry Prankster]

Travelling back with TB and his brother from up north the other week this is exactly what they said to me and nick c. I didn't get the impression that this was a state secret and so am happy to name them as a source. in fact THE source I suppose.

 

[Rich Suvner]

Not really. Either Sunderland (or anyone else) up their offer or he's not going anywhere. Simple.

Don't want to, indicates to me a certain acceptance of the inevitable. Which is that he will go this month. We may haggle a bit, but he is off.

Not going anywhere, would hint to me that we genuinely thought a deal wouldn't be struck.

And this is public knowledge anyway.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'm happy to name my source if the others on here are happy to name theirs


*edit* Just seen Simster and Merry Prankster have named theirs so just Westdene Seagull left

Sunderland boss Gus Poyet has promised supporters that he will remain "calm" during the January transfer window. Poyet insists that he will not rush to buy new players in the next month.

"It's not about just bringing in players for the sake of bringing in players," the Uruguayan is quoted as saying by Sky Sports News "We'll stay calm.

Where have I heard that before?

 

[Goldstone1976]

Ummm, might I suggest that naming your various sources isn't a good idea? There's a decent chance that the individual(s) will have broken their employment contract &/or confidentiality agreement in telling you anything to do with transfers. If so, the club would almost have to investigate any employee named on here and, if necessary, take disciplinary action against them.

I guess TB, as 90%+ owner, would be exempt from this policy; though if he is one of the sources, may be somewhat more circumspect in his discussions with fans in the future if he realised that what he said in a private conversation was going to be sprayed across NSC.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

And this is public knowledge anyway.

That's what I was going to say no club wants to sell and we also don't need to sell however that doesn't mean we won't.

 

[Willy Dangle]

Apparently, i have it on good authority that the board and management don't want to sell anyone in this transfer window and would just like to get Conway permanently if we can afford him

Carry on

With respect I could have guessed this would be their wish but unless we sell LB now or offer him a new deal he will be off on a free.

Also the club owe it to their players to notify them of any interest and allow them to consider sensible options.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

Indeed - which is why on the LB rumours thread I said people could take or leave my information.

 

[Albumen]

He's as good as gone so we might as well get used to it.
