Pritchard

[cuz]

To Bentford or Norwich for £6m. Please let this one be true.

[JonsonClarkParis]

I hope so the guy is wank and I was a massive fan when we brought him here

[Farsley Terrier (UK product)]

jeez

[btwoowah]

I would literally carry him there. I’d take unpaid leave from work, dust off my battered hiking boots, and jog down the hard shoulder of the M1 with him in my 50l Vango rucksack. They could keep the £6m too.

Brentford supporters opinions on any potential deal... if there is even a shred of truth about it. I'd let him leave for free if he handed in a transfer request, therefore voiding any loyalty bonus.

[Yuta be a terrier]

Won't happen. There's no way Phil would pay someone 6m to take Pritchard off our hands.

[HuddsTerrier]

Can’t see us getting a good deal from either Brentford or Norwich (Webber) as they both know what they’re doing

I think there no chance £6m in the last year or his deal when all the world can see we don’t have any money - we’ve paid one fee all summer despite slashing the wage bill and selling sobhi and mounie

Someone out there rates him.

[terriersyndrome]

Get rid. Done nothing to justify his £10m price tag. I'd say £600k would be nearer the mark if we sell him, not £6m.

[terriers2000]

Dwarf fraud

[oldrain]

One site calls him a playmaker ha ha get rid whatever the price UTT

[Terrier Ramone]

Who would pay anything for him right now? Seriously, who?

[royrace]

I have a feeling he doesn't have what it takes mentally, never looks fully focused or committed in a game. A change might do him good. I've given up hoping he'll come good here. Stealing a wage like a few others.

[upthetown]

Surely a wind up. Snap their hands off if not.

Throw in Hamer to sweeten the deal.

[Million Dollar Babies]

I'd take 6 quid, never mind 6 million

Not a midget gem then?

[philstarbuckscoffee]

I would be delighted if we move him on as it just hasn’t worked and he no doubt needs a fresh start. However, if/when he goes to another Championship club you can guarantee he will have a worldie against us and score a screamer. Absolutely nailed on to happen!

[Deleted]

The club are actively trying to sell him, but Pritch is helping his potential suitors out by putting in 2/10 performances.
We’d do better leaving him out like KG.

[tepidterrier]

he's been a dreadful signing, the worst investment we've ever made when price, minutes on the pitch, and his contributions are all set against one another. However, he shouldn't go without being replaced, and I have no confidence in him being replaced judging by the inaction thus far in the window. Absolutely pains me to say that. Ridiculous state of affairs

[BerksTerrier84]

Don’t think I’ve ever wanted an outbound transfer rumour to be true more than this one.

I'd replace him with a plant pot. At least you can get pleasure from looking at that.

He is by far the worst of all our signings.

I'd consider paying someone to take him off our books he is that bad.

He makes Thomas Heary and Dwayne Mattis look like Roberto Baggio and Diego Maradona respectively

[linson]

People saying he's the worst signing ever are mental.
He always tried at least.

For me, the speed twins are almost single handedly responsible for our downfall. Imagine if they tried, imagine if they could have supplied crosses to Mounié every now and again, or if they tried to fit into a system and do some defensive work. Playing with them is like playing with 9 men.

If they had done even the most basic job we could have still been in the Premier League and therefore for me they've had the biggest impact.

The best three we had at the time in the middle was Mooy, Billing and Hogg.

As much as I think he got off lightly for a long time, I now think it's starting to go a bit OTT with personal abuse.

At the same time, I ain't seen any more noticeable effort from Pritchard compared to Diakhaby. In all my time of watching Town I've never seen a player so regularly not get to a ball before the opposition, when it looks 60:40, if not 70:30, in his favour. I even noticed when the chips were down in the Prem, him blatantly hiding, for example turning his back when we had a throw in.

Diakhaby and Mbenza, between them, I think have played less minutes for Town than Pritchard has. Pritchard, throughout the last 2 and a half seasons, has monopolised the creative midfield role. In that time he's got 3 goals and 2 assists, which is absolutely indefensible. Diakhaby has got more assists on his own in that time. Mbenza has the equivalent minutes of about 12 full matches during his time here, stretched out over 2 seasons with no time bedded in the starting lineup. Not gonna defend him over why this has been the case, but it's a fact. In just over 4 times the amount of time on the pitch, including significant runs in the first 11, Pritchard has managed just 2 more goals and 1 more assist than Mbenza.

With this in mind, Pritchard is far and away our worst ever signing in terms of time on the pitch relative to his contributions and transfer fee, and it's not even close. I wouldn't be quoting stats if he wasn't just as bad by the eye test, which he clearly is.

Yet he has got a free pass by most on here despite performing this badly while having the luxury of previous experience in the English top two divisions, something D&M never had. They were thrown in at the deep end by our recruitment team and hated by the fans for drowning

[willo]

Can be summed up in one line...a total waste of money who won’t be missed.

[Frankiesleftpeg]

The problem we have with Pritchard is that we'll struggle to get fraction of what we paid for him, which is pretty much the same problem with Diakhaby & Mbenza.

What galls me is that it appears that because they're expensive signings and haven't downed tools, we somehow seem obliged to pick them.

We should bite the bullet, admit that we made a massive mistake in signing them and get whatever we can for them, BUT in the meantime consign them to the B team because their presence in the first team is having an adverse effect in both the performances of the team and the development of some of the younger lads, who have a least shown a willingness to progress their careers when given a chance.

Its one of those transfers that would be as fair to the player as it is the club.

He's always sounded committed when he has been interviewed, but for whatever reason its not worked out at all.

He doesn't fit in the new system, A sale would suit everyone, I'd hope he would go on to be a success, he'd leave with best wishes, but he looks like he will never be successful at Huddersfield.

He’s always sounded committed? This is the same guy who was out for about 3 months with a cyst right? He bloody ought to be committed.

[melbourneterrier]

No question he hasnt fulfilled what we would have liked. No question if 6m is really on offer, then snap it up

That said, if I had a choice (and I acknowledge I don't) I'd be happier to see the speed demons go first.
