On paper signing like Pritchard is excellent,

Young and hungry to prove himself, a player I guess every team in the Championship would want.

Yet we hardly ever play him and when we do he plays out of position.

I've seen a number of posts recently putting recruitment down as one of the key problems.. (NCFC) - I Am Hoot, Nov 29, 02:59:20
- Personally I think we suffered badly by being unable to attract (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Nov 29, 09:24:25

  - This is what I'm getting at really. (NCFC) - I Am Hoot, Nov 29, 07:51:09
    - I can't think I of a single club of our size... Who has wasted anywhere near the amount... (NCFC) - walksie, Nov 29, 08:52:43
      - Wolves? Bolton? QPR? Fulham? Derby? (n/m) (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 29, 09:02:01
        
        Yep (n/m) (NCFC) - I Am Hoot, Nov 29, 09:13:04

        I assumed he'd alternate with Hoolahan to keep Wes fresh (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 29, 09:42:59
        
        Same for me. I definitely see him as Wessi's replacement in the long term. (n/m) (NCFC) - I Am Hoot, Nov 29, 09:49:09
        
        Wes is to heavily relied on (NCFC) - strap_on sally, Nov 29, 09:46:13

        fucking shithouse player (n/m) (NCFC) - Jumbo1, Nov 29, 10:47:46
  - suspect we have a pretty small target to aim it scouting wise (NCFC) - mr carra, Nov 29, 06:59:55
  - Van Ginkel too. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Nov 29, 06:04:09
    - Could have been excellent for us. Surprised he didn't flourish at Stoke. (n/m) (NCFC) - derbyshire canary, Nov 29, 07:23:37
- It's more to do with spending 17m-18m on two players who play in the same position. (NCFC) - thirsty work, Nov 29, 05:04:24
  - Particularly when you already have a decent player in that position (NCFC) - avenging canary, Nov 29, 05:50:31
    - This. We spent £21m on three players who play in the same position as (NCFC) - Jim, Nov 29, 10:54:01
