I'm overly loyal to our academy products, but Pritch is 23 and has zero Prem experience. He impressed at Brentford, but outside of that, nothing. Injuries have been unfair to him, and he's certainly talented, but would we sign a 23 year old with zero experience and a spotty injury history?
Players know the game. The academy serves to provide talent AND assets.
I think a move to the toons would actually be about as good as he could expect.
Not quite zero prem experience, he did have some fleeting appearances for West Brom - but i totally get what you're saying.
If you remember a while back, at the end of the season (i can't remember which), but Pritchard came on for around 20 mins and he didn't look out of place at all, in fact he looked positively exciting.
I was so looking forward to him being given a shot/developed, a tricky playmaker in the mould of Eriksen.......if not better!!
What the hell has gone so wrong!!!?
