Alex Pritchard

[SittingbourneSeagull]

I suggested him 2 or 3 weeks ago when the rumour of Burnley bidding for Stephens started, but then I am a bad judge of football.

Well to be fair it's not like he is an unknown player, so hardly scoop!

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Err no.
If signed on a five-year deal, that would equate to a manageable £1.6million per year on the P&L. And that's assuming the £8 million would be up front, which it wouldn't.
Probably looking at around £1 million a year in fees. Don't need to sell anyone.

However, I've no knowledge of whether this is true or not.

Let's see. You don't know and nor do I. My guess would be that one, probably, Stephens, will leave. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Codner's Wallop]

Looks like a guy who finds great positions on the pitch. If he does arrive, and you would expect CH's Spurs relationship to smooth the deal, then Albion's attacking threat will be feared. A squad with Murphy, Knockaert, Pritchard, Skalak, Hemed, Murray would surely give a few teams the willies.....

 

[Uncle C]

I think we have kept shirt no.21 free for him.

 

[lancyclaret]

Ironically, Pritchard was just minutes away from joining Burnley on loan on January's transfer deadline day when Tony Pulis hijacked the deal and took him to The Hawthorns...only to give a frustrated AP two "short" substitute appearances in 3 months.

Was brilliant for Brentford two seasons ago.

Can't really see this deal happening.

A lot of clubs interested including Swansea. Would suspect that agent has leaked this to drum up more interest / push the price up.

I'm sceptical too, has there been any word from anyone close to the club that we are in for him?

 

[Reagulls]

its written in the stars!

I can already hear warren say the words:

"i'd like to see 'prick hard' get a few more touches"

just in behind Thomas Hemed!

 

[Tekanne]

Has Naylor relevealed this as an EXCLUSIVE yet?

 

[Notters]

£8m for a midfielder? I would think that can only mean one thing.

He definitely wouldn't be a Stephens replacement. Stephens is generally the one who sits in front of the back four - that's not Pritchard's game at all

Also Sky are reporting its a 'package' at £8 mill..appearances..sell on etc?

 

[Whoislloydy]

Do we only scout wingers? Or is Knockie on his way?

We could put out a team including Lua Lua, March, Murphy, Skalak, Knockaert, Bjordal and now Pritchard with Elvis, Balders, Harper and Towell as support on the bench. Just need a keeper, a centre back, a centre forward to add a spine!

Manu looking likely going to Turkey, Bjordal would probably see loan football before being exposed to first team championship duties IMO?

 

[Whoislloydy]

I'm 99% certain he plays central

i'm 100% that you're 99% certain that you're right

 

[N17]

Left winger.

I am not claiming it as a scoop just that i get slated for my suggestions and I suggested him before Spurs said he was surplus to requirements but then as a season loan.

 

[essbee]

Hope it's not another case of premier league swoop at the last minute and we miss out...

 

[British Bulldog]

Looks more like a replacement for Richie Towell who's probably off to Newcastle along with everyone else!

 

[El Turi]

He's a very different player to Stephens so I can't see him being a replacement for him.

 

[Icy Gull]

This IS just a rumour isn't it? Not ready to get excited yet.....

 

[severnside gull]

Not even vaguely similar to Stephens. Plays a little deeper than Baldock by the look. I'd quite like to see us play with one running off the central striker and he appears to be tailor-made for that role. He'd flourish with Murray IMO and at least we'd have a penalty taker if Hemed was off the pitch. Wouldn't want to leave pens to Murray. He was never much good at them
