Alex Pritchard

[Easy 10]

I asked a Brentford STH mate of mine about Pritchard when we were still in "advanced negotiations". Said that yes he was decent, but when I mentioned the £8m fee, he sucked his teeth and shook his head like a KwikFit grease monkey checking your tracking. Then I mentioned that he was injured for most of last season, and he laughed.

Might have dodged a bullet.

I remember you harping on about your Brentord mate a couple of years back. Wasn't it to do with redundancies or similar.?

As a player you've got to follow the money, 99.99% would have done the same as this lad in similar circumstances.

No way 99.99% - there are some that move for football reasons. Following the money doesn't always work out financially in the long run either. Stepping stones are only there if you're playing regularly... Don't particularly blame the little albino midget myself, it was just a huge kick in the teeth the way it happened - not a man of his word though, clearly.

He was made redundant from where I still work a few years back. Good guy, knows his football. I trust his judgement.

I tend to think the same about him particularly having seen his Norwich interview where he clearly doesn’t care about who he plays for – it was the money that mattered. That’s fair enough to an extent but I’m not sure his sort of attitude would have fitted well with our ‘together’ philosophy and be could have been a disruptive little SH1T

Yes I'm sure had Rotherham offered even more he'd have gone there

Only Manchester City have a higher rated academy and training facilities than us (when the Premier League rated them for EPPP). The fact he didn't even come to look at them tells you all you need to know about the guy and the deals on offer.

 

[perseus]

I didn't really want to sign him. Didn't fancy another midget in the team. Depended on the price. Not worth the extra dosh.

 

[NooBHA]

Hoolihan.

After he did what he did in the Norwich v Aston Villa match, I would very much doubt it

Son has just shown me a sky sports interview with Pritchard, sorry I cant find it to post it, but basically he says he doesnt know where the idea about the delay on the M25 came from as he was sat at home when the call from Norwich came in and he chose them purely based on who he thought stood most chance of gaining promotion, which is fair enough.

He would say that wouldn't he ...

It doesn't it the slightest.

I'm sure there are hundreds of players that haven't seen the training ground before they make a choice on clubs.

 

[The Wizard]

He's not exactly going to say 'Well you know what I was going to sign for Brighton but Norwich came in and offered double the wages so I chose Norwich instead' Everyone knows it was primarily about money, I don't begrudge him that though it's totally understandable if you had no allegiance to a club to go where the money is, it's modern football that's just how it is.

 

[Chicken Runner61]

He probably turned back when he heard they got rid of the free tea and coffee in 1901 the tight gits

I don't give a toss about Alex Pritchard. He can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

It's over, let's move on.

 

[Danny-Boy]

That would make you happy, wouldn't it?

Depends which two. You seem incapable of finding anyone who actually WANTS Holla. Elvis is dead anyway.

I was thinking more about Stephens, Burnley could well be waiting until his suspension is served.

Except it's not fair enough because he had already accepted our offer when Norwich steamed in, and then he went back on his word to get more cash.

I bet you said that about Muzza back in the day..

 

[portslade seagull]

Lets see how he does at Norwich and how many games he gets

 

[whitelion]

Doesn't make the starting lineup.
