I for one am very excited about this signing. Watched him a few times and looks like he has everything we've been missing in that role in front of the back four. A player with the composure and passing ability of Ki with the stamina and tenacity of Cattermole (without the worry that uncontrolled aggression will lead to a mistake/bad challenge).
He got 6 assists last year for Brighton playing in that holding role also - Cattermole has less than half of that in his entire time with us (albeit, Cattermole has played ay a higher level).
I read something online somewhere today that asked Sunderland fans how they rate our capture of Bridcutt - how much of a 'big signing' was this? When Gus was asked the same thing, he responded as such:
'a spectacular signing'.
I've never heard him speak so highly of a player. I think we very well might have a new fan's favourite on our hands.
