Alex Pritchard

[Surf's Up]

****ing parachute payments

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Good luck to him if he does sign for Narch. Apart from the season-ending injury he suffers in training, of course.

 

[Munchkin]

If he wants to be here he will sign, if he doesn't then we move on.

Genuinley want players here that want to play for the club rather than what they can earn.

Ambition v Greed IMO.

PS - I'm sure he's one of many targets we have.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Just awaiting a 'Norwich Fan in Peace' thread to appear

 

[Napper]

we will alwys be viewed as a smaller option in a lot of situations.

Kick in the nuts !!!!

Norwich will be top 2

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

although fuming Albion have not entirely given up hope of still landing a player manager Chris Hughton planned to use in the No.10 role behind a main striker.

I wonder how they can do that without upping the wage offer.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Pritchards agent will be laughing all the way to the bank on this one, pimping him out when a deal is pretty much already sealed. frustrating that we can't compete financially with a club like Norwich.

Tend to agree, oh well no doubt he'll have a stormer against us

I am sure that TB can/could if he wants to.

They have about 30M more than us - Redmond and parachutes.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Well this could be a leathering of the ballsac. *seethe*

 

[BBassic]

Have said for years parachute payments should be scrapped.

Stop rewarding abject failure and force clubs to live within their God-damn means.

 

[Boy Blue]

He's got more chance of regular football with us than Norwich. Haven't given up hope until he signs for them.

 

[Icy Gull]

I am sure that TB can/could if he wants to.

But he won't and nor should he imo

 

[Berty23]

Parachute payments are a joke. They were designed to prevent clubs going bust due to contracts with high wages which needed to be honoured. Clubs do not use them for this purpose - they just gamble on being a yoyo club. It is really annoying.

i am sure the premier league could find a legal way to make clubs put a "relegation wage drop" clause in contracts.

 

[Albumen]

If he prefers to play for Norwich, **** him.

 

[Clive Walker]

Spurs should refuse to sell him or face being part of an illegal transfer

 

[Zebedee]

But he won't and nor should he imo

It depends how much we want the player but I agree we don't want to get involved in an expensive bidding war.

Shouldn't there be some form of punishment for a buisness man (agent) who is part of an illegal deal?

Signing from the Premier League will be hard for us. Better off looking at the divisions below.
Norwich will probably sign him to prevent us strengthening our squad.
