That's exactly what I thought when I saw the tweet in my opening post!
This guy beat the mighty Joey Barton!
We've just signed a full international who was in the Championship best XI last season and people are underwhelmed? Blimey.

Yes, this is the way we do business. I think the writing was on the wall once the Pritchard deal appeared in the media. These days we tend to work quietly behind the scenes on deals and not comment on them until signed. It is only if players/other clubs comment that it gets in the media and that's when it becomes less likely.

About 75% of replies on the tweet Reading put out confirming his departure are along the lines of 'wtf' and 'fold the club' (can't argue with the latter), 23% 'HE'S SHIT ANYWAY', 2% 'SNAKE INNIT'.

I would disagree with pretty much all eleven of those.
Great spot. Hopefully Norwood is better than him

Right away I would have a fit Friend and an able Judge in my XI any day.

The money will be there, for when/if the right player(s) become available.

Exactly and it is usually the same old posters that spout the negativity. As a choice between the two I am happy with Norwood given that we would not have paid too much for a quality player. With Pritchard we were buying a player that had played a handful of games for Spurs, been injured for some while and at 8million was to me a massive gamble. He may prove himself at Norwich, but at this stage he has not played at a higher standard than Norwood so the jury is out. Anyway the way I see it, we now have another 5 Mill to top up the bid for a striker and are no weaker.

This deal would of happened no matter the outcome with Pritchard. Just means we are still looking for 2 more signings.
We have to remember that there is also no loan window this year and we were lucky that both Kayal and Stephens played so many games with injury. At least this year if something happens to either there will be 2 quality DM to come in. The way we play as well if his passing is good then he will have real quality in attack to pick out

Well, that still leaves nine places up for grabs. Yes admittedly there are two or three there I might choose, but more that l definately wouldn't.
