alex_ncfc 666 Posted January 12, 2022 Sooner he f**ks off the better. He hasn't wanted to play for the club for ages, so why should we give a sh*t about what he wants? Let him rot. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chelm Canary 404 Posted January 12, 2022 Does be think than managers, scouts and analysts don't look at this behaviour when considering signing a player? He doesn't just lower his monitory value but also the value a big club will see in signing him. Its not just Farke now it's Dean Smith it hasn't worked with. So who do we think is the real problem here?  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He runs his value down but at the same time puts potential suitors off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Petriix 2,853 Posted January 12, 2022 I don't know where you are getting your information from but it seems you're making wild assumptions about why Cantwell isn't getting into the team. As far as I'm concerned, his continuing absence is much more of an indictment of the mismanagement of the squad than any kind of reflection on the player himself. Cantwell could hardly do any worse than those keeping him out. It's baffling. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cantwell could hardly do any worse than those keeping him out. It's baffling. How on earth did you work that one out. He declared himself unable to train the day before Charlton so didn't play. Farke, when demoting him to the Under 23's, made comments about Cantwell never completing a full week of training this season. We were then told that he was expected to train yesterday and in the squad today, and he's nowhere to be seen. Its obvious he doesn't want to get a knock which jeopardises a move, he's a tool downer. We are getting the information from Daniel Farke and Dean Smith, looks like you are making a wild assumption about the management techniques of two competent experienced managers. Why is it that nobody else in the squad seems to come with all this drama? Biggest drama queen since Nelson Oliviera.

And he's still only 28. And he's still better than anything we can put on the field at the moment. See, I can find figures of £30k and £8.5k so lets take all alleged wages with a pinch of salt shall we? The tabloid press claimed that Pritchard was on £110k a week at Huddersfield at one point, so that's quite a wide range we have there isn't it. 40% of professional footballers go bankrupt after retirement. Those who hire private jets on Championship wages are strong contenders. The Pritchard that we had at Norwich may have walked into this current side, but the Pritchard who warmed Huddersfield's bench last season near the bottom of the Championship definitely wouldn't, and whenever we've played against him he's looked bang average. We may look sh*t this season but the gulf between the bottom of the Premier League and the likes of Sunderland is huge, and his stats in League One really haven't been stand out this season..... 2 goals in 30 appearances for Sunderland for a start, bet they'd have been hoping for a lot more than that for his £8.5k / £10k a week, which is frankly a huge League One wage.

Either way he needs to go or get on the pitch and help the club that is paying him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
All the Germans 1,085 Posted January 12, 2022 I'm in two minds on this. Part of me thinks he's being a d*ck, but the other part doesn't see any real evidence, just guesswork. So I don't want to condemn him. However, if he is a bad egg, we probably want to hide that (as much as we could), so somebody actually buys him. We'll find out after he has left, but personally don't want to jump to conclusions, even though 2+2 probably does = 4. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
