Not sure why people think £5m is undervaluing him. He hasn't actually done anything of note in a first team game for us.
He was championship player of the season the year before last, and Ibe just sold for £15m.
In that market he should be in the c.£12m bracket
Seriously this quote makes me wonder if you've ever watched him at all. Nonsense.He's similar to O'Hara, very good at set pieces but slow and lacks aggression. He needs to be at a club who will wrap him up in cotton wool and worship him, a bit like Sigurdsson at Swansea. £5m is fair.

I not really commenting of whether he should be sold or not, but the description of being like O'Hara, and being slow and lacking aggression is simply miles off. He was a very hardworking and tenacious component of a very decent Brentford side.In the championship yes... you know, at a lower standard.
If he was that good, why is he currently only linked with championship sides? Brighton and Newcastle. Secondly, I guess you think Poch and his coaching staff are clueless since they've deemed him surplus to requirements. Jog on.
Think the problem is your description, it's as if you haven't watched him play, I don't think anyone would call him slow or lacking in aggression.

This is a absurd evaluation of Pritchard. Fact is Pritchard is yet to start a PL game. Fact is Pritchard played so well in 2014/15 that he was selected in Championship team of the season, helping Brentford to playoffs.
Add to this the injury record last year and almost nil minutes given by Pulis...Why would he linked with a PL team ?
But fact he isnt linked doesnt mean he is not PL quality. Far from it. Sometimes, players have to go down the league system & come into PL better to be recognised.
Spot on, I'm always amazed by the amount of people who watch football, but don't really see anything...This is a absurd evaluation of Pritchard. Fact is Pritchard is yet to start a PL game.

Again, nobody is saying we are are definitely wrong in selling him, only the coaching team have the information to make an informed decision.How is it absurd? It's a fact that Brighton are hoping to sign him and a fact that Poch has said he's no future at the club. I'm siding with Poch's evaluation and not wishful thinking that he's worthy of the EPL, especially when his success has only come in the championship. Lots of players look like world beaters in the championship but it doesn't mean they can cut it in the EPL.
