Mbenza wanted by fenerbahce Based on wages, fee and overall contribution during time here, I'm fairly certain that I would definitely be prepared to drive there!🙂 |

I actually think if someone offers a decent fee for him we may accept. He's been very good this year but if a offer came in for him this time last year we would of biten their hand off!
However I would be very happy if we kept him too

Difficult one for PH regarding Mbenza. I think he will have a large price tag in mind. Either suitors pay a large fee or we let him go for nothing and get his wages off the books come summer. If we really want him so stay for an extra year then we get rid of some other high earners to pay his wages.

If we really want him so stay for an extra year then we get rid of some other high earners to pay his wages. Ageed. I think it's almost a lose-lose situation. Personally I think he's done ok this year but hasn't set anything alight for me, he's now doing what I would expect to be the minimum needed for this club at 20 appearances 3 goals 4 assists this season. Anything less than a 1 in 3 (assists/goals) contribution means he'd have to be doing something pretty special on the pitch to make up for it but he doesn't. He's another I wouldn't bat an eyelid at if he left along with so many others and we're just going to have to accept that we'll be losing money on him irrespective of outcome. Unlike Diakhaby he should be able to find work somewhere when he leaves. On another note, there seems to be a disappointing lack of rumours about outbound and useless players. There must be someone willing to take a punt on Pritchard, though I suspect his wages will be a massive stumbling block. |

If we really want him so stay for an extra year then we get rid of some other high earners to pay his wages. It's scandalous that given our threadbare squad and lack of strength in depth we would even contemplate selling him. We have raked in over 50 million in player sales and parachute payments so we should no longer be in a situation where we have to sell our best players. If we continue to do that then serious questions need to be asked. |

He's the only one that can beat a man, the only one that can cross and the only one that can take set pieces but, yeah, just let him go and put up with what we have left 🤔🤨 |

Don't make me break out the Cathy Newman pictures again.. Your persistent wild extrapolation from my posts just ousts you as a professional troll. I never said let him go and don't replace now did I? I am a very strong advocate for bringing in replacements as I said in the summer: our squad is paper thin as it is so why would we let anyone go without a replacement? IMO we need (not want) two wingers, one striker and one central midfielder - and this just makes our bench competitive. |

He's not the type of winger that looks to face the full back up and take it around him. If he was (and was good at it) then he would be a £50 million player because his crossing can be fantastic |

Southampton are hoping to loan out a couple of youngsters, and Town are apparently one of a cluster of clubs keeping an eye on them: Will Smallbone and Jake Vokins.
Smallbone is an attacking midfielder in a similar mould to Pritchard.
Vokins is a left back but you’d assume he would just be a back up for Toffolo, and we’d let Jaden Brown get regular game time elsewhere.
You’d imagine that if they did come to fruition, then it would be later in the window rather than early-January, as both players are currently making up the numbers on Southampton’s bench whilst they get a few of their senior players back from injury.
Only thing is that I doubt Smallbone would come with an option to buy. Vokins possibly would, but we’d surely only exercise that option depending on Toffolo’s and Brown’s situation come the end of the season.
Certainly one (or two!) to watch.

You must have a short memory I guess (https://downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/114992/town-watford-match-thread?page=18)... Cathy Newman is a reporter who got annihilated for her overly aggressive style of interviewing Jordan Peterson as she kept deliberately and incorrectly extrapolating what he was saying. You're the same person who slags people off for having an opinion different to yours then complain when someone disagrees with you whilst also trying to put words in to other peoples mouths, as you have above, then get weirdly aggressive... The rest of my post is about what I think our January goals should be |

Well done on finding some obscure journalist interviewing someone else I've never heard of and deciding that's me 🤣👏👏👏 |

And just exactly who is going to take either of them? And pay us a fee? And - more importantly - match their wage demands? As I've said several times before, all this blasé "get rid of Pritchard and Diakhaby" or pretty much anybody we don't want to keep just isn't as easy as that. |
