I know it's only the DM, but I would be fuming if this were to happen. Not only do we need him with the amount of games coming up, but we need him as genuine competition for Eriksen. I genuinely think Pritchard could be pushing for Eriksen's spot in the team after a few league cup & europa league run outs, much like Kane did last season.

I'd be seriously pissed off with Poch if he allowed Pritchard to go out on loan to the championship again.

surely complete bollocks. if we really were willing to let him leave on loan again then we'd have done it before the window shut as there would've been pl clubs queuing up to take him.

With Eriksen not really having got going yet this season, and Lamela not really having got going since he joined, this would seem like a really odd decision.

If Poch has genuinely decided that he's far enough down the pecking order that he won't get games, then it makes sense to loan him out for his own benefit. But I would find that a very odd decision based on how well he did last season and the fact that Poch mentioned him as being a first team squad player.

If this happens I will react in an appropriate manner befitting the situation. And you can quote me on that. Although why you would want to is beyond me.

He's the player I'm looking forward to seeing ore than any other this season. If this happens I'll be most displeased.

I believe Pritchard's presence around the first team would serve as a kick up the arse for both Ericksen and Lamela to get their collective acts together. I do so hope he is NOT loaned out this season.

I am sure if we let him leave without giving him a chance to prove himself in the first team, leaque or cups, europe, whatever, everybody here and around the world will be pissed big big time.

Also he was in the bench and got subbed on in our last game didn't he, ahead of Lamela. Nonsense.

so poch trims his squad to a slim fighting fit level and some say too slim he then decides to let one of the two creative midfielders go on loan
with erricson;s fitness in doubt such a move as to loan Pritchard woud be criminal I believe our manager has big plans for Pritchard that do not include being sent on loan

Makes a lot of sense, sadly.
Pochettino uses the same sized inner core regardless of squad size, coupled with a less important "outer shell" of very few players. In total less than 20 players see a decent amount of playing time each season.
We have Son, Gee, Lamela, Townsend, Chadli, Eriksen, Dembele, Carroll, Onomah who can play apporx. in his position.
Somethings gotta give.

hope this is utter bollocks, Eriksen needs someone breathing down his neck to keep him on his toes, Pritchard strikes me as ideal for that purpose

Pritchard pushing for Eriksens spot? I am not an Eriksen fan dude but this is magic mushrooms stuff :D
