I think that's the view of everyone on here. I wonder if SW/DF will see any the money to reinvest - I'm NOT holding my breath on that one!!!!
JM is the most fouled player in the Championship and as you say, if he gets injured we're going to start slipping down the league VERY rapidly.
You and 1950 seem to be under the impression that I'm unaware that SW and DF are (allegedly) solely responsible for player ins and outs. My gripe is with that knobhead Balls, why the feck come out and say we're under no pressure to sell then one week into the transfer window sell off one of the remaining crown jewels?? All it does is p1ss the fans off as per usual
Edit:- In today's market Pritchard is worth far more than £14M (if it is £14M which I doubt) IMO

If we sign that Jones, he’s a replacement for no one.
I get the feeling that it's AP driving the move and I'm NOT defending Balls etc, but we all know it's all about 'player power' nowadays.

You're forgetting that STAR striker from DULWICH HAMLET!!!
And so on. Wouldn’t be surprised if both come in for about 1.5M and go out on loan this window.I get the feeling that it's AP driving the move and I'm NOT defending Balls etc, but we all know it's all about 'player power' nowadays. SADLY.

We are going to see Vrancic as Pritchard’s replacement arn’t we
It would appear that some of you are confusing the statement "we are not under pressure to sell" with the statement "we will not sell"
It's fairly obvious to me that AP wanted to try his luck in the Premiership, if we had held him back it would have been risking his strength to the team, therefore when the offer was what we were looking for the deal was agreed.

It’s gutting when the deal they were looking for is below his worth. To us and them, and compared to the market.
Well I think, given his injury record and the number of games he has played for us, a £6 M profit in 18 months is a reasonable amount of money.

I also think that Pritchard pressed for the move and the deal was done because it is good business for the club. I still think it will be around £12m+£2m in the end which is what the majority of fans wanted in the Pink'un poll. The key thing now is how we use the money for the next stage of restructuring.
Both of whom we've got shot of, so no longer relevant in all this.
If any of Pritchard's fee goes on subsiding bloody Naismith there'll be trouble at mill, ain't that correct KIO
I guess it's something to do with not looking desperate to sell, so you get the best price you can. Personally I don't see why we're selling Pritchard, I'd rather keep him until the end of the season. but we're have to see what SW / DF do with the money before making a judgement. What was Balls supposed to do when asked, I think fans would be even more p1ssed off he came out and said "we need to sell a player(s) just to balance the books ".

I don't think this is a good move for Pritchard, but history shows he's not good making decision about transfers. Sky are saying it's 10m plus 2 m add ons. Pinkun poll was nonsense concluding that most fan were happy with 12m. The result was 44% were happy with 12 to 15m & 40% were happy with 15m plus. So to say majority fans were happy with 12m is misleading.
will be dependent on Wes and Vrancic 
Down the football leagues we go....
Notwithstanding the fee wil be 'undisclosed' I still think in the current market Pritchard is worth more than the rumoured fee stated. We sold Murphy for £12M after all and Pritchard is twice the player he is IMO
Also I can't for the life of me believe that AP would 'force a move' to Huddersfield FFS, a more established Prem side perhaps, but not to a side that will probably be relegated this season.

That is a point, but I think the market and spending has changed enough to make a 6m profit for a player like him to be poor. I can’t believe they couldn’t push for more, and turn it down if they don’t budge. I think plenty of other teams would be interested. Sides like WBA and Stoke who can’t score and create goals.
True plus I very much doubt it will be a £6m 'profit' anyway.
Some will be upfront, some later, based on appearances and presumably Hudders ability to stay up this season? It's never a question of " we paid £Xm and sold him for £Ym so we've made..."
