Looks like he's back on the menu. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport...ider-upping-bid-for-cardiff-s-mutch-1-6703185
Cant see the black cats splashing that much cash this pre season. It looks like that we may well end up not selling anyone
Mutch is one player I would really hate to see leave this summer. I hope there is a generous buy out clause if there is one in place.
Can't see there being a buy out clause in his contract. He came to us in the Championship from Brum for about a mill when he was only 20 and Brum were going nowhere at the time (and still aren't). The worrying thing is he enters the final year of his contract with us this season and he would be free on a Bosnan this time next year. That might make Dalman at the business end of things hold sway over Ole's wish to keep him in the hope we'll get straight back up.
I saw: There is a suggestion that there is a buy-out clause in Mutch’s contract – as there is with Cardiff team-mates Fraizer Campbell, Steven Caulker and Gary Medel – and the Welsh outfit will not accept anything less than that figure. and made an assumption, but what you said makes sense Spark , he was basically an unknown entity coming from Brum.
Bluey - looks like you've got the inside track on Terry Phillips. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...ardiff-city-insist-sunderlands-jordon-7355153
I'd still be pissed off if we took £5m for him. Havent seen a player with Mutch's ability for some time down the City!
