It won’t be sarr as his wage demands will be far too high he was earning £15k a week at Huddersfield, I know this to be true as a guy I know knew him well
He only stayed with us so long because he wages were so high
Pratley was an asset to our squad imo, I hold him in high estimation. We know what he was good at but in addition he filled in at CB when we we’re desperately short handed in the second half of the season. I actually think he was over used (for his age) in that period playing every game, affecting his form somewhat during the last few games of the season.
Thanks for the memories, Ben. The painful, awful memories.
I think we should henceforth refer to that Pratley-Watson midfield pairing as 'The Partnership that shall not be Named.' Like Voldemort.
Outrageously harsh on Pratters that. One of the best midfielders we’ve had in the last 15 years
Thought this reply was a joke at first, some are easily pleased. I would put Pratley in the bottom half…and the comment got 23 likes 🤣
That would go back to, what, the 2008/09 season? Some sad act will have to work out all the midfielders we've had in that 15 year period and then work out if he's bottom half or not. That sad act will be me. See you later.
Mullins who can blame him! Was at Cambridge and we I think offered him a two year deal on 5k a week he is from Liverpool so Wrexham he can commute gave him a 3 year deal at believed to be 9k a week! we would do the same given his situation
In this team he will absolutely bang them in, his movement and strikers instinct is exactly what’s missing from this side, I will be ecstatic if it’s us who have managed to get his signature

I’m not convinced he is nothing more than a one season wonder BUT he would have greater movement than Stockley and would suit this system better than Jayden.

Fleetwood fans seem convinced it’s them anyway, strange move

If it’s us we probably wouldn’t know until it’s almost done anyway.
The trouble that Garner has is that he's made Stockley captain, the main man, not sure he's not regretting putting all his eggs in that basket.
Doesn’t mean he has to pick him. Stockley has a job to do - score goals. If he doesn’t do that then he won’t play - captain or not. Problem is, nobody is breathing down his neck.
Stockley and Kirk can fuck right off asap because thay bring fuck all to this team stockley was bad won fuck all
Ridiculously harsh on Stockley. System may not suit him but he has given 100% every game he has played for us and we would have quote possibly dropped to L2 without him last season. Tend to agree that Kirk is a luxury player who is not good enough to be one.

I could give 100% to the team if I was chosen to play for the club. Wouldn't make me any less shit though. He's not good enough to be the "main man" for a team chasing promotion, in the system we are playing right now

Fully agree,he doesnt have to pick him at all. Like you say, theres no one else is there🤷♂️

He never ‘banged them in’ for any team the seasons before last, and so far this year including the pre season friendlies he scored the exact same amount of goals as Stockley.
The fact that it appears that Fleetwood are the front running team willing to spunk the cash on him should tell you everything about the risk he represents for teams.
He'll get 20plus goals for us and we are currently about that number short within the squad. It is a no brainer for me.
What makes you think that until the last two seasons, a player who had never scored over 5 goals in a season, and only over 15 once will score 20 plus goals for us?

The fact that he looked the best striker at The Valley last season, scored 20+ goals, including at least 2 from the half way line.

that’s not to say we pay low wages but just shows how ridiculous their financial weight is at that level.

He was an absolute menace at the Valley in the spring.
