Interest mounts in Bridcutt

Premier League new boys Cardiff and Hull are both reportedly locked in a battle to sign highly-rated Brighton midfielder Liam Bridcutt.



Bridcutt is regarded as one of the best players outside the Premier League and he impressed again last season as Brighton reached the play-off semi-finals.

The 24-year-old has established himself as a key member of the Brighton side since arriving at the club in 2010 and he has recently broken into the Scotland squad.

Brighton are bracing themselves for bids for the influential midfielder after missing out on promotion.

The likes Queens Park Rangers and Reading are also thought to be keeping tabs on Bridcutt's situation at the Amex Stadium.

Bridcutt still has two years to run on his contract and Brighton would be loathe to lose their star midfielder this summer.

Can't see that happening. As a defensive midfielder he's not a lot better than what we have already. Still take him though.

[Royal91]

Yes please but its never going to happen.

[Barry the bird boggler]

No not going to happen, was a rumoured target under Heston so unlikely to be of interest to Nigel. Of course any reason to keep screwing that team from Loftus Road over is always welcome

If Karacan does leave then we'll need to bring to bring in a guy like this.

[Royalclapper]

Could command a hefty price tag, can't see him moving to another Champ team if there is serious interest from Premier League clubs. He looked the part whenever I saw anything of BHA last season and should be able to cope with the step up.

Raided Forest last year, we've moved onto Brighton.

Regardless, won't happen obviously, but would be a great signing. As said before we need to oxf*rd QPR at every possible point.

Bridcutt >>>>>>>> Karacan x 1,000,000

Yes.

I would have.

I would love for this to happen, just so we could piss off both Brighton and QPR two transfers in a row.

[Big Foot]

Heard from someone who knows him that he's off to Norwich.

Sounds about right.

No rumours on that front in Norwich.

[Wycombe Royal]

Palace are after him.

Straight swap for ledge!!

Followed by Nicky Hammond's knighthood.

I think he's as good as any of our midfielders.

No not going to happen, was a rumoured target under Heston so unlikely to be of interest to Nigel.

That makes no sense whatsoever.

I can't see this happening because he's really in vogue at the moment. I think he'll probably go to a mid-table Premier League side.

Reading born - may want to "come home"

Reading born - may want to "come home"

I think this was mentioned last year (???) when his name first started appearing. I am sure someone said he could not stand the club and didn't even want to consider being transferred to it (I apologise if I have misquoted the poster on the original thread! ).

That's hardly likely.

I'm sure I saw a TV interview stating that he thought Reading were a premier league club!
