They are about 24 hours late with their report.

Yesterday's news.

24 hours late - unfortunately there was a twist..

I apologise, hat on now

Almost 90 pages of nonsense and speculation.

If it goes through then lets hope hes worth it and if not lets hope hes overvalued - simples really . Clearly no one knows . If a contract is already signed then they cant really pull out without massive consequences - ie he cant play for them

 

[Official Old Man]

I repeat a post from yesterday. He played twice in four months for WBA and prior to that was out on loan to EFL clubs. If he is so good why doesn't a Premier club want him. And if the stumbling block is money then boot him out the door.

A sweeping dismissive judgement of 200,000 people.

Norwich is very like Brighton culturally. Interesting history (once the largest city in the country) and splendid architecture (until some of the 60s planners started pissing around). Respected football club with a local fanbase. All in all, a good place to live. Decent supporters too.

Agreed, Norwich is a fine city in a beautiful region (I may be a little biased !). This deal will come down to wages and the case put by the respective managers. Nothing more I would think.

Spent some time wandering around the cathedral last time we were there. The castle looked a bit expensive for the time I had. Looking forward to another visit.

And Leeds are champions of Europe.
I apologise if my opinion is wrong. Good luck to him, hope he signs for Norwich.

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

How is Norwich a tin pot hell

Hilarious some of the comments on here today

Offering terms before agreeing a price with the club.

Or Blackmail.

Or Kidnapping.

Kudos for most imaginative suggestion to date...

Here's my take. Pritchard has spoken to us with his agent AFTER we asked Spurs for permission to do so. We've agreed a fee with the Club & the delay we're sweating on is he now goes on to accept personal terms & hopefully signs for us when negotiations end

Should a Club approach Pritchard or his agent directly without first contacting Spurs for permission then it's deemed an illegal approach. If AP was a free agent then he could be approached directly by any number of Clubs

I see this as a plus because - at present & as far as we know - Pritchard isn't in talks with any other Club. For anyone to hijack our deal they'd need Spurs go ahead to approach him

It wouldn't be unknown for his agent to try to tout him out to other Club's but even if a Club was interested they have to activate a legal means to do so which we have been first to do hence us being in the driving seat.

We'd know if another Club asked Spurs to talk to AP as they'd obviously like a couple of Clubs vying for his signature to up the fee. All we can do is sit back, hope Pritchard wants to play for us & wages etc are agreed with no other Club coming in with the approval of Spurs

Squeaky bum time cos I really rate him for what he can offer now plus if he plays a notable part in getting us up he'll increase in value so our £8m or whatever isn't a gamble

Plausible?

So does everyone else now.

dont think that knowledge will put the price of any targets up too much tho

People may have been a tad dismissive of the 'hunch' tweeter earlier in this thread btw. (not Pritchard related)

Getting to the time period where you'd expect things to happen, if they are going to.

That sounds mildly encouraging.

My point is simple. Norwich, like Cambridge and, to a degree, Oxford, are very similar culturally to Brighton. Norwich, rural, (although technically a port), has completely different aesthetics. I could easily live in Norwich, although I think I would miss the sea. But to say you have issues with the 'people', well, anyone would have to live somewhere for a decent period of time to make that assessment. Even then it would only be based around a limited experience. Nowhere is without merits. Okay, Croydon, maybe....

Re no premier club interest ..couldn't you say the same about Kayal..Stephens et al before they came here?
