The Raptor 1,259 Posted January 27 Sunderland should stop paying him. Cancel his contact and let him go. He's allowed to sign for another club for minimum wage. 40hrs a week. He's only allowed to earn that for the duration of the cancelled contract. No massive sign on fee to get round it either. Should be standard in these situations.

A Load of Squit 5,232 Posted January 27 Sunderland offered him another year when he wanted more, looks like his agent has found a couple of clubs who are prepared to offer longer contracts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyJonnyRowe 551 Posted January 27 Alex Pritchard has a typical case of main character syndrome where he seems to think that he's doing any Championship side a huge favour gracing them with his presence as a player who by right should be in the Premier League. When in reality he did nothing much at all in the Premier League with Huddersfield and been largely inconsistent in this league. I've heard that Michael Beale has a massive ego himself though, Roderesque, and people with massive over inflated egos will often clash with other overly inflated egos when neither of them has a list of achievements long enough to back it up.

Deptford Yellow 262 Posted January 27 Does my memory serve me correctly that we once had him, James Maddison, and Wesley Hoolahan - all vying for the same no10 position …? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonnyJonnyRowe 551 Posted January 27 28 minutes ago, Deptford Yellow said: How would we feel about that ? Well it wouldn't back up the claims that we're trying to reduce the age of the squad so I'd be happier about it if he weren't our only signing and the other one was a younger player. But he's a decent player and I wouldn't grumble, and a 2.5 year deal would probably be about right for his useful life. He might be a mercenary but he's always worked hard on the pitch, including for Sunderland, which is his job, and I'd probably be a mercenary if my career was 15 years long and I had 45 years of retirement to fund.

No Madison was after… or at least not playing. Wes and Pritchard did play together.. some scintillating stuff actually in 2016/17 season but we were far too inconsistent. We should’ve walked the league that season with the players we had! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget Naismith. I think it was Pritchard, Naismith and Hoolahan, with Maddison breaking through the year after. And because Hoolahan was a god like genius who obviously won that battle it often meant having an incredibly expensive bench. From what I can remember though Pritchard could do a job wide right, and Naismith didn't come with that benefit, so Pritchard when fit was the less redundant of the two.

Pretty sure the rumours were that when with us he always came across as arrogant and clearly thought that he was much bigger and better than he was and that not too many at the club liked him as a result. Seems his career has not exactly taken him to the highs he was expecting mind, so not sure why he still seems to have an ego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
