Might as well keep Evans if John Sheridan is the current top choice. NO offense to JS, really good player for us during the dark days of the 80's, but.....

Bridcutt won't be here next season if Evans leaves LUFC

A new manager will have his own type of players in mind

Will be able to afford Bridcutt permanently, whoever the guy in charge is?

Sheridan looking more and more likely judging by the odds, however, I read on twitter that Cellino reportedly said "who is he" when asked about John Sheridan, so I am not totally convinced. In other news, Gus Poyet has been announced as the new head coach of Real Betis.

Is he worth the fee plus large wages (compared to the rest of the squad)?

With Toumy and Cook here I am not sure he is.

I think Sunderland staying in the Prem is the best chance of us getting bridcutt for a decent fee .... This year is the year the ridiculous TV money begins so they won't be too shy of money.

Been thinking the same myself, mav; Dave is a natural DM and Cook can certainly play that role. Three similar types might be excessive if, as has been reported, we won't have a huge amount of money to spend

Makes no difference who we get, they won't get a fair crack of the whip unless he employs one of his sons as team coach.....watch this space.

Bridcutt arguably saved us from a relegation battle, our most influential player this season

I would say Toumy has done as much, however much I like Bridcutt is he worth being the best paid player at the club?

I dont personally think we need two holding midfielders, certainly not at home but if it was a choice between Bridcutt and Toumy, I think its a no contest. As well as Diagouraka has done since joining, Liam is a far better all round footballer.

Except he is our player rather than loaned is he not?

Just throwing this out there, Do you think the team would be so much more worse off without Cook in the team?? I wonder how many millions the prem teams would pay for him?

I've read some about him but can see nothing really special Dan, but I could easily have missed something you haven't, because I didn't even know his name until the last couple of weeks since I've been watching the last month of EPL (blame Leicester thrashing Citeh for my interest).
