We bought him with a pre-existing knee problem? Apparently so. Beggars belief . Seems a strange thing to do!

Dunno why but I have soft spot for him. Probably cos of that pic of him out of his head on train home the night after Chelsea away to stay up

Well he's a week to prove himself fit and get a transfer. I don't see where he fits into the team? On either wing. He's better than either option we have there. Winging it may be apposite.......

Loan move coming up... Get rid of those wages I hope not. I would like to see him given a chance in a Cowley team now they have got a bit more established. He does have talent. This. He's proven to have ability to perform at this level and be one of the best in his position below the PL. Not shown much so far, but he's been out of the side or playing for JS (can we say that anyone did themselves justice in that era?). Whether he deserves a chance under Cowley or not, if he gets one & takes it - we have a hell of a player on our hands for this level.

I can’t give individual games but I watched him in the games early this season and I believe what he needs is quicker thinking players around him, and better team movement. He hits a good free kick and can take corners so we get our top scorer in the area instead of by the corner flag.

He hits a good free kick and can take corners so we get our top scorer in the area instead of by the corner flag. I don't think there were any games he played well. For him to play well you think he needs better players and a better team around him? You'd think he would have excelled at Tottenham then and not ended up here. I can't remember him scoring from a free kick or us scoring from one of his corners either?

Apparently so. Beggars belief . Seems a strange thing to do! Looking at his past injury records for various clubs, it doesn't seem as though the cyst has been a problem. I would just place him in the Premier League 2nd season mentally damaged goods bracket. Plus the fact we paid 3-4 mil too much for him, but thats just bad negotiation, a trend I hope we have now remedied.

Early this season it is hard to pick out anyone who 'played well', O'Brien being a possible exception, but Pritchard worked hard and was one of the few players trying to break forward rather than pass sideways or back. He did very well in the junior ranks at Spurs but the number of players who make it from premier league clubs junior ranks to senior is very small, although Spurs have brought a few through. Regarding his free kicks and corners see the video below (OK, the highlights aren't for us - but he can be that good)

fed up of the "Pritchard tries hard" bollocks
I said 18 months ago he's useless
No pace, no assists, can't shoot, can't head
He's as much as a flop as diabenza
How many more "Fresh starts" or "Chances" does he get?!
I'd rather an unproven youngster from Arsenal to play every game at 10.
In our last game ESR two shots from outside the box and two good assists were almost as much as what 11m AP has contributed in 2 years.
In ESR I trust.

I'm one of his biggest critics - he's done very little creatively in all his time here and covers ground as well as Jan Molby 😄 How Mounie has got more shit is beyond me. However, he did show some positive signs early this season, such as the first half against QPR and I think for about 20 or 30 mins against Fulham. Not convinced we can play him anyway other than 10 though, other than as an impact sub.

Regarding his free kicks and corners see the video below (OK, the highlights aren't for us - but he can be that good) You did say he'd been playing well though? Clarify works hard. His legs go like the clappers when he's walking never mind running but that's because of his size, he always looks knackered and looks like he's blowing out of his arse but I think that's through lack of fitness rather than closing down and tracking back. One of the few players that tried to break forward rather than pass sideways or backwards? He's a number 10, I'd have thought he should be the 2nd furthest player forward behind the striker so he should be trying to make things happen going forward! Unfortunately he doesn't, he tends to run around in a circle in a dangerous position and lose it or give play an easy ball, sideways or backwards... Regarding the video I could put a good one up of Mbenza or Diakhaby (for Diakhaby you could probably put an impressive 2 minute video of his time with us at a push) but Pritchard has been here 2 years now and I've seen nothing like how he was 4 years ago.

We will have to agree to differ on Pritchard. If he gets a run under the Cowleys, and we have other players breaking forward for him to link with, we can judge him then.

I think he has the skill, we just need to see if the Cowleys can get the best out of him.

As probably the second most attacking player in the team he's not expected to do anything with regards to goals, it's like having a goalkeeper you're not bothered about saving shots but if he can run around his penalty area and looks like he jogged to get the ball when it went out for a goal kick he's doing enough.
