LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Bridge admits mental struggle: - http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=439916&CPID=8&clid=8&lid=3&title=Bridge+admits+mental+struggle (Sorry but I don't know how to shorten links, Mods feel free to edit it) Reading that story, my first thought is "Well you shouldn't have signed that extended contract". My second thought is "Let's try and get him again". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 He doesn't sound too unhappy about it, tbh. Good attitude. Would absolutely love him here, he'd be the best "possible" signing for us atm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I say use our so-called good relationship with Chelsea and politely go in and tell them we'll take him off their hands. I mean at the end of the day we don't want the poor lad suffering do we?!! bluewink.gif £6m bid in first thing in the morning tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at the end of the day we don't want the poor lad suffering do we?!! bluewink.gif £6m bid in first thing in the morning tbh £3m i reckon. Jose's plan to keep building us up before leaving Chelsea to takeover is going smoothly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Bid 7m for him. He's worth it, IMO. If they say no to that, try and get him on loan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Add a few mill extra, and get Baines. Classier, younger player who would add more to our team since his distribution and shooting is significantly better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newcastle Fan Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 A really good player hope we sign him somehow Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 The figure of £5m was the one doing the rounds in the Summer. That would be good as the opener. We could also offer to take Shevchenko on loan until the end of the season saying we could train him up for the Premiership for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribble Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Is this article a 'come and get me' plea to any clubs looking for a left back? Even if it is poor old Wayne voicing his melancholy, it's nicely timed for January. :winking: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm not sure Bridge is actually a very good defender tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zenith Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I'm not sure Bridge is actually a very good defender tbh. He's got hips better than Bernard and his right foot is better than Baba's left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloydie Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Friends of mine who watched him regularly at Southampton and who's judgement I trust rated him very highly. He's always done OK for Chelsea as well, just ended up in the same part of the squad as Parker since Mourinho doesn't seem to like rotation much. But we haven't got 7 million. If we can get him for 2-3 I can see us finding that much but that'd be it for the window I reckon. (and yes, on the day we land 10 million worth of signings in a sensational swoop I will be looking very silly indeed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, he's better than those 2 but, for the money there'd got to be better about. He lacks pace, agility and tackling imo which i think would be the 1st requirement when up against wingers. Uses the ball very well though tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 It's not even about him 'fighting for his place' either really. As long as Ashley Cole is fit he will play. Simple as that I would think. Barring some truly horrific form Bridge hasn't got a chance. So if he wants 1st team football, he has to leave. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 And if he isn't getting first team football then his England place shouldn't be guaranteed, so therefore he should be looking to move! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
