[Puppet Master]

Oh boy... this place is gonna go into MELTDOWN.

Just wait for all the new accounts from Norwich

 

[lizard]

Clearly lacking in ambition if he'd rather go to the six-fingered freaks than come here, either that or has serious self doubt over his own ability.
What will be will be and all that, sure there's plenty of players out there for that sort of money that'd want to play for us.

 

[Count Otto Black]

was always going to happen wasnt it! at least we know we are able to spend around 8m on one player

Thy have parchute payments to offset any expenditure.

 

[WATFORD zero]

£1 to £2 million to cover development costs is more like a fee I would pay, plus a £1 million extra for one good season with Brentford two years ago (and Judge did nearly as well when Pritchard was gone).

Well you put up the 3M that you are prepared to pay and I'm sure Tone will cover the difference

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Brace yourselves, the farmers are coming

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Yes it's true there is speculation, but not true it came from the Argus. Moose (Talksport) tweeted this more than SEVEN HOURS ago.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

[MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] - can you vet new accounts today (if this goes belly up) to ensure we don't get too many gloating Narrich fans?

 

[Boy Blue]

I'm not giving up. Didn't he reject Burnley and they would offer him more money than us and Norwich.

 

[n1 gull]

Good news is we all know who the first goal scorer will be when we play them - get your money on now ffs

 

[drew]

Nobody knows how this will quite pan out but we do still have a few aces up our sleeve. Firstly, Barber's link with Spurs which may have a bearing on how Spurs respond if an illegal approach was made. Secondly, we have already agreed a fee with Spurs and terms with the player. Thirdly, Pritchard knows Hughton having worked with him before. Hopefully that was a good relationship.

It could still turn sour though!!!

Burnley offer more than Norwich? No chance, they have a famously strict wage structure.

When did Pritchard previously work with Hughton?

 

[Happyguy]

on Norwich Forum they have confirmed that they have offered more money a week in wages

 

[Boy Blue]

Okay but at least they could offer premiership football so that must of been a pull factor. I'm not giving up on this deal until I see concrete prove he's signed for Norwich.

 

[Munchkin]

Agent: Norwich have shown an interest, let's weigh up our options before doing the deal.
Pritchard: But the deal is as good as done, I like the place, the potential, the manager, this is a club going places
Agent: But you would be silly not to consider al the options.
Pritchard: if that's what you want, I'll talk to them and see what they say, but I'm pretty sure my minds made up.
Agent: Fair enough, but let's at least see what Norwich have to offer.

4 hours later...

Agent: what are your thoughts? Norwich can offer you a better weekly wage
Pritchard: Maybe, but the facilities, the manager and the ambition at Brighton appeal to me more
Agent: You're choice, I'll get is back to Brighton and get the deal signed.

Well in which case, I will confirm on this forum that we have offered more in wages - that should do it

 

[Sheebo]

The originial source was, I think, the chap at Talk Sport. He does appear to be a friend of the player. I'm guessing he got a text or a call.

Was surprised how many were having a pop about Moose's credentials earlier in the thread. He's not always the first, but has good BHA info normally. He's also good friends with a certain Albion 'Insider'. I had no doubt there was interest from Norwich when he'd tweeted that. I doubt it was the player himself letting the journo know though.

@Bozza - can you vet new accounts today (if this goes belly up) to ensure we don't get too many gloating Narrich fans?

Don't panic.

 

[Ernest]

We are not offering Withdean and training on the park anymore, if anyone would rather go to a TINPOT hell hole like Norwich instead of us then we don't want them anyway
