I heard he's out of contract with the Jack's.

Would you take him? He's probably the only Jack player I've ever liked and I think he would bring alot to our Midfield.

Has all the attributes of a top class midfielder and shouldn't cost us too much in wages.

I still can't believe he struggled to get in the side towards the end of last season, box to box midfielder that's strong in defence and can score goals also!

How do you feel about this?

I know mate but so did Andy Legg! The man ended up being a City legend!!!

Pratley doesn't come across as a prick either. Obviously if it was Britton, Tate or Monk then it would be different!

He'll end up at somewhere like Birmingham. Decent player, although Seyi Olifinjana run him ragged in February and I doubt he'd be cut out for the higher level

I'd like him here. Excellent Championship player.

We didn't 'let him go'. He ran down his contract and is expected to sign for Bolton. You need to remember that you're a Championship club and can't compete for such players when there is Premier league interest.

Thu Jun 16, 2011 4:49 pm

A YES from me....

I've always stated he's the ONLY Jack I'd accept down here....

Could certainly 'do a job' for us....

You mean like when Spurs and Everton and others wanted Bellers but he decided to sign for us?? You are such a wise person NJ73 obviously your new found superior premier league knowledge is far above us mere championship watching true loyal fans. By the way are you developing the first signs of alzheimer's disease as you posted that message 4 times.

Re: Darren Pratley

Thu Jun 16, 2011 6:06 pm

Im not sure why it's even being debated :lol:

Pratley would never sign for you,and not because you are our 'supposed' [ :lol: ]rivals,but for the fact your a championship club and he's too good for you.

Re: Darren Pratley

Bellamy joined you for sentimental reasons,nothing more.

Bet you don't see him next season :D
