I asked a Brentford STH mate of mine about Pritchard when we were still in "advanced negotiations". Said that yes he was decent, but when I mentioned the £8m fee, he sucked his teeth and shook his head like a KwikFit grease monkey checking your tracking. Then I mentioned that he was injured for...
I don't particularly MIND that he's chased his wallet to Norfolk, its entirely predictable and most people would do the same thing. But don't then come out and LIE about it being "purely a football decision", like we're all cuffing STUPID.
Cretin.
Oh well, thats this years ADAM CLAYTON saga over and done with for another year I suppose.
Now can we crack on and make some ruddy SIGNINGS. Lets get back to "swooping" on unknown Spanish 2nd division players instead. Much less aggravation.
We're hardly flooded with midgets are we. Murray and Hemed provide our aerial presence, backed up by Dunk and Goldson. As creative players, Knockaert and Pritchards heights are about as relevant as what they like for breakfast.

Its pretty rare that our targets come out in amongst all the usual transfer speculation isn't it ?
Usually its BAM, we've signed so-and-so, shirt held up, cheesy grin etc. Wouldn't be unhappy with this though (as long as it doesn't mean we've lost Knocky).
