Re: saturday's news 7th july
Wayne Bridge - Brighton paying 10k a week of his wages. We should have gone in on that basis. Maybe even offered 15k. Over a season he'd be amore than decent premier defender - especially if he had a full pre-season.
Id alos try for hoillett - if we are interested ina winger. Surely the big Sam connection would help there - if our rivals are the likes of QPR
