Batth to Norwich ** confirmed **

Batth played a great long pass to Clarke to set up our play off goal at Shef Wed.

Under Alex neil, we play a completely different style now.

We have o'nien at centre back overlapping hume on the right wing now :lol: that's not possible with batth as he would need somebody alongside him protecting because he doesn't have the legs onien or ballard does.

Why sell any? What are you trying to say?
They wanted to ditch Pritchard too who has been outstanding for us so far this season and the squad would be weaker without him.
Too many sheep all of a sudden saying Batth wasn’t good enough for us this season which is ridiculous.

He was fantastic last season and no doubt with injuries etc he'd have played a part at some point this season too. Like you say there were threads with alot of people saying fair well to Pritchard too and I have the feeling of a club came in to pay him the club would've been happy to offload him yet here we are he's been one of our best players again.

Despite all the successes of the recruitment the last 2 seasons, Luke O’Nien is the best signing we’ve made since we were relegated from the PL IMO. Developed into a proper leader, great understanding and reading of the game and a good range of passing. Completely unrecognisable from the young lad who was hauled off at half time against Charlton.

He’s got a big future on TV when he retires as well, I fully expect him to be one of the main Sky Sports EFL pundits. Was excellent after the game while waiting for Clarke to collect his MOTM award.

I like him more as a bloke than I do as a player. Back in the one sub days he’d have been an excellent 12th man. A poor man’s Paul Madeley if you like.
He looks a natural public speaker and comfortable with a mic in his hand. When he moves back down south I’d imagine he won’t be based far from skys HQ somewhere NW of London and there’s a lot of FL games to be Co-commend or punditted on. That’s if he’s not daft enough to fancy managing/coaching.

I’m saying that the squad is absolutely massive and a team that normally plays 4 at the back can not carry 6 centre half’s. Not just for us as a club but for them as players. It just isn’t practical
 
Gutted we let him go as players like him are needed in a long season. Give everything when he played for us and goodluck to him if it was him who wanted the move. But I am very pleased with how ballard is improving since he has been given more of a free role up field at times,about time we had a centrehalve that can score goals. Ballard going to be worth alot of money very soon

Would he have been happy sitting on the bench is probably a better question to ask rather than selling someone else. He was a very good player for us, maybe they've timed it right and this season he drops off - I don't think he's kicked a ball for Norwich so maybe they did get it right.

We'll see come the end of the season for me, no good saying we don't miss him on a good run because it can quite easily become a poor run and all of sudden people then claim we miss him.

He’s literally sat on the bench EVERY game for Norwich since he signed - hasn’t even kicked a ball for them yet I don’t think?

No chance of him moving down south

I honestly don’t know where this come from. He’s no worse with the ball than O’Nien is. He had absolutely no detrimental impact on the football we played last season. None whatsoever

Onien is better on the ball than him there’s absolutely no doubt about it, Batth couldnt drive into midfield like he does not saying that makes Batth a bad player just not his game.
