Despite what the club has said ...

No pressure to sell etc I am guessing there is big pressure in that we don’t want to leave all our trading to the summer. I can see the logic in selling Pritchard in that he appears to be injury prone. If he were to pick up a bad knock now would leave us in difficulty in summer. it’s just disappointing as we have seen that he adds so much to the side.

Do we have good enough scouting in place to sign players on the cheap that can really improves us?

You never know for sure, but I'd definitely rather sell Pritchard than Maddison (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Jan 9, 13:56:05
- We'll sell both eventually. But I think Madison's stock will rise more than Pritchard (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 9, 14:02:49
- Should also consider, however, that if we sell Pritchard now then we almost certainly will (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 9, 14:02:44
  - I don’t know...Madders turned down Liverpool for us because he wanted to play first team (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Jan 9, 14:04:54
    - Not only his choice though, is it? (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 9, 14:13:38
    - Did he? I thought he was in advanced talks with Liverpool and Arsenal before an injury, (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 9, 14:13:13
      - Independent said Liverpool made an offer but chose us (n/m) (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Jan 9, 14:16:32
    - That's my thinking. Not forever of course, but a little while (NCFC) - jAC, Jan 9, 14:06:27
  - However, I would honestly sell neither. I'd be looking to save money by offloading players (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 9, 14:04:41
    - club has virtually no choice if player is keen to go (NCFC) - pab, Jan 9, 14:10:45
      - Of course it can, if you can deal with the aftermath. He means he won't want to refuse (n/m) (NCFC) - Steve in Holland, Jan 9, 14:16:46
    - I'm sure we are trying to do just that (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 9, 14:09:23

  - Are you suggesting that the club would deliberately sell a player cheap? (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Jan 9, 14:02:54
    - I’m suggesting that if they sell him for £11m they are either (NCFC) - Jim, Jan 9, 14:22:54
      - or there is another imperative to selling more cheaply than we'd like (NCFC) - CWC, Jan 9, 14:47:25
