[Albion] Our old chum Alex Pritchard

[Not Andy Naylor]

I see Alex Pritchard has now decided that Sunderland aren’t big enough for him and declined to make himself available for their 3-1 victory over Stoke.

Call me small-minded and vindictive but I can’t help enjoying every mis-step in his long and frustrating career outside the top flight.

But I suppose in a way we have to be grateful that he took the wrong turning off the M25 that fateful day because otherwise we might not have signed Pascal Gross …

 

[Papa Lazarou]

So, what level does he think he should be at then?

How is his rejection at beginning of 16/17 related to us signing Gross a year later?

I’d say it probably had quite a big effect in terms of our resolve over rejecting Burnley’s offers for Stephens in the same window though.

What a w***er

 

[Austrian Gull]

If he's only got six months left on his contact, they should make him train by himself and fine him the maximum. What a horrendous thing to do when your team are chasing the play-offs.

 

[Springal]

To be fair - at the start of the season under Mowbray he was told he wasn’t part of his plans, played a bit but not as much as previous seasons.

Beale has come in and been unpopular with most of the players already - his contract expires end of the season and seemingly can’t agree a new one.

Unfortunately for Alex he chose to do this on a game they win 3-1 after a run of terrible results which now obviously doesn’t look great, and that is hilarious

 

[Bozza]

It's surely a "come and get me" plea to the Albion.

It will be good to get this one over the line finally.

 

[Official Old Man]

I laughed at the double barreled players thread. Alex f**king-Pritchard.

 

[SWC]

Sunderland sure know how to pick them, Jack Rodwell during the documentary was outrageous and now Prick-chard is doing the same.

 

[Springal]

Just seen that apparently Birmingham City (with Mowbray !) who had an offer rejected for Pritchard in the week as well !!!

 

[el punal]

M25 services?

 

[Stat Brother]

The unbridled joy this little twerps career has given me, far, FAR, outweighs anything he could have done on the pitch had he not trundled further round the M25 and headed south at Crawley.

We should call him down to Brighton with a big contract offer, and then when he gets half way Tony rings him saying ''Actually mate, we've had a think about it, & there's better players out there. You should head back to Sunderland''.

Wait until he's on the M25

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Wait until he's on the M25

Just past the Dartford crossing so he has to pay the toll both ways.

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

To be fair.... He only has six months left on his contract and they offered him a 1 year extension on the same wages. Most players would want out after that.

We need someone to come and replace the cones when they get knocked out of position in training. Save Lamptey having to do it himself and risk injury over stretching.

I thought it was prick-tard?
