Sunderland side saying we are getting Pritchard for 100 grand. Not a bad little bargain there Paik for Free Pritchard for £100k Fairly decent bargain basement deals If he signs for that and we finish a place or two higher up the league, he will have made more money than we've spent on him - awesome deal. As for having too many midfielders, might as well keep them to cover injuries but I think JJ will go. If he goes to Palace, tell them £8m + Sakyi and it's a deal 👍🏻

Still nothing about a striker coming in which I find amazing and unbelievable given how desperate we are for one. Are we going to pull a rabbit out of the preverbal hat or another window being disappointed?

I don’t think we’ll get a striker now. Would probably cost too much or be a loan that doesn’t really help in the long term. We can make through to the summer just fine, particularly as the goals come from elsewhere in the team. Then summer complete overhaul up top.

And sadly but not surprisingly no clubs want our dead wood. At least now we’ve signed a few players, our bench should look a bit stronger. When you think about last Saturday, how we fell apart completely when those subs came on. It was pathetic There’s players there who don’t deserve to wear our shirt.

Already said it elsewhere....Wharton £18m plus £4m add ons for a club who's owners had assets frozen!
Surely we should be asking big money for JJ?
Also Vile now agreed £16m Rogers.

I am hoping the fact that JJ has not gone yet is an indication that they won't sell him on the cheap. Of course that could all change by Thursday night but I agree that it would be criminal to let him go for a quarter to half those fees based on the sums mentioned to date for him. Dan saying in his latest piece that the naming rights money will appear in this year's accounts so hopefully that will relieve any P&S issues. We should be keeping him. He is only 19 and will only get better. The dog heads in particular can do one if they think they can get him for peanuts.

Was quite positive that things were really starting to move yesterday. Several players linked including a GK and defender gave the impression things were hotting up for us. While I did not expect signings today I did expect some more ‘noise’ other than Pritchard.
Can’t believe if we are going to bring in 3 they will all be midfielders when other parts of the squad are as weak or weaker. I know patience is required but just hope that the lack of noise is because we have plugged the leaks and not because there is no activity.

Dixon apparently has reported that we've agreed a fee with Sunderland for Pritchard, and Pritchard has agreed on a two and a half year deal. He was only offered an 18-month contract and on less money than what he'll be earning with us so turned them down.

I wouldn't have thought so, they have a player that wants out, they arent in much of a position to negotiate much as he is out of contract in the summer i believe

Honky we are desperate for midfielders, the ones we have cant pass and we have no depth in the squad in that area, always going to be a priority for Tony as he likes players who go forward and pass forward.

KRO I agree with you it’s a priority but if we were only bringing in 3 then I would have hoped for 2 midfielders and either a striker or left sided defender so one of the other problem areas was addressed too. No problem with any of the 3 coming in individually but still hoping it’s 3 out of 4 or 5. Let’s see.

A lot will depend on who is available at the standard we need and for wages which we are prepared to pay. Pritchard looks very likely and I am still hoping for a striker probably on loan and a cheeky surprise but that remains to be seen. I think the midfield has been a big weakness and the additions have been much needed. Juke is injured and Hogan ineffective in front of goal so if they can get someone in then I can see them at least trying. Truth is the summer can't come too soon and a proper rebuild be undertaken.

The impact that Gallagher had the other night, Blackburn would be nuts to let him go so is he still an option?.....I don't think he will be?
We NEED a striker, if not two, so who else is out there?

Clarification on the Drameh situation suggests it's not something that will be agreed until the Summer if at all as he has the final say, which kind of makes the whole yeah we've signed him on loan with an option to buy a bit misleading imo. If it was truly with an option to buy then would have expecteed his side to have been ageed prior to the loan being set up, ie WE have the option to buy as was reported, as it is it's just an ordinary loan, there really isn't any other way to see it, as said misleading.

It will be 1 max if at all. Mowbray sees Stansfield as a striker and unless we shift Hogan or Juke, very unlikely, we would have 5 strikers if 2 came in and 6 if you add Tyler Roberts as on as well. So for me will be one or none, probably the latter.

I think TM has been very disappointed with the midfield (understatement of the year) and appalled by the bench against Leicester. As others have pointed out, there's not much point in having a great forward if the midfield is crap! Breaking news: A one-way Flix bus ticket has been purchased for the last day of the season. Birmingham via London to Bremen!!

I was hoping for one per day - Ho yesterday. Pritchard today, and then another tomorrow. Maybe we'll do an 'arry' and sign 3 or 4 during the last hour.
