The former Chelsea left back has been shipped out to Brighton as a part of his latest loan deal where he will play under another ex-Chelsea player Gus Poyet...
Gus Poyet has come out and declared his delight over securing the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Bridge-c36733 from Manchester City for a single league season at Brighton where he will add to their squad depth. Manchester City have been under utilizing
Bridge’s services in the past two seasons when he has been at the club as Roberto Mancini has had better options.
The Manchester City manager has been relying on the likes of Clichy, Zabaleta and Richards along with Kolarov to fill up the full back spots at the Etihad stadium therefore there has never really been a place for Bridge on the
first team sheet at Manchester City.
This competition for places has often pushed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mancini-c23323’s hand towards sending Wayne Bridge out on loan throughout his time at Manchester City. The former Chelsea man began his career at Southampton but really earned his reputation
at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 who signed him for 7 million pounds.
After spending six years with the London club and winning several pieces of silverware, the Englishman moved to Manchester City in 2009 for 12 million pounds. Bridge has only made 58 appearances for City since 2009 which goes onto
reflect his status in the Premier League champions’ squad.
Poyet said, "It's difficult to say how happy I am because it's not easy to get top-class players I'm absolutely delighted to have Wayne with us. He's been one of the top three left-backs in this country for many years.”
He added, "There were a lot of things that had to come together to make it happen. Firstly, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-c10409 Platt has been great at Manchester City and then Wayne and his agent have helped a lot too. It was not an easy one to secure, but
this is what we want at this club.”
The former Chelsea man also added that Bridge’s experience will help http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brighton-c38685 in their efforts to earn promotion to top flight football as well as be an immense inspiration and a learning figure to other young players in the squad.
