I would expect Saints to utilise Pryce at the first oppertunity. this man has had a 2 year sick note costing the club many thousands of pounds, and also bearing in mind he wants to move at the end of the year. if i was the coach id run him ragged !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a stupid comment.

Firstly, he has been missing 1 year, not 2.
Secondly, have you seen a direct quote from him saying he wants to leave? Have you spoken to him in person and he has told you he wants to leave? I suspect the answer to both is NO.

Moron!

And that's why you're not a coach,or know much about professional sport. Rushing him back is what made his injury worse last time

Leon himself seems quite confident about how it's going. His latest tweet is about how brilliant it felt to complete a full team skills session and how he'll be ready for selection after another couple of training sessions.

He returned on doctor's advice, though, didn't he? I got the impression at the time that he wasn't rushed back so much as the healing process hadn't been quite so far advanced as was originally thought.

I know its not a popular view but IMO if he fails again this still; its time for us to call it a day with him unfortuately as we do not have the resources to continue with his sort of wage burden when combined with our other injuries.

I will only believe that Pryce is due back when he actually plays for us.

Nope, medical staff said it was a risk and may be too early. Coaching staff decided he should play, bad call by whoever gave him the go ahead.

are you is love child ? and yes he has said he wants to move countless times ! back to bradford initially, the guy also missed a huge amount of time 2010 on the sick as well as this year , and lastly with an avatar of YELLOW GIRAFFE i'd be carefull of calling anyone a moron.

Wow. That is the first time I have ever seen somebody attempt to win an argument by belittling the username of another user!! I am genuinely shocked at that one. (The avatar is actually the little picture that goes with the username, but I wont hold that mistake against you).

Anyway, back to topic, funnily enough I am not the love child of Leon Pryce. Unless he had an affair with my mum in late 1984, aged 4.
However I AM somebody with more than a modicum of intelligence,hence my reaction to your ridiculous post.
He played 22 times in 2010, I would hardly class that as missing a huge amount. Would you?
Also, can you please direct me to these quotes that he has made about wanting to move. Presumably if he has said it "countless" times then at least one of them would have been in the public domain and you will therefore have a link to it........

Worse
Response
Ever

your choice of avatar was belittled by me in response to being called a MORON for my opinion of pryce's value to the club
as a new poster with 20 odd posts to your name slagging people off in that way will automatically attract a response, lets say for arguments sake price played a full 22 games in 2010 that is still a 30% absentism level + 95% this season! not very good value for a £100,000 + salary a year investment. So lets see what happens if and when he returns this year! And lastly why YELLOW GIRAFE????????????????

and why did it cross the road?

To get to the other side

Fair point on the amount of games missed but you have conveniently ignored the point made by my different coloured friend about him stating that he wants to leave. Although this is back in January it is the only thing I have seen on his future and it would take a big U-turn to openly state anything else: news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/mobile/rug ... 368051.stm

I am going to ignore the username thing because it is ridiculous argument.

And why does the number of posts I have made matter? Surely it is better to make 20 sensible posts than 1000 stupid ones?

You seem to be changing the course of the argument now, presumably because you have realised you were wrong initially.
You have claimed that he has stated in the past that he wants to leave, on numerous occasions. Again, can you please point out to me when/where this has occurred.

Don't encourage him!!

proper LOL

would you have preferred a different coloured one or something?

im pretty sure they only come in yellow.

Excuse me!?!?

I guess you learn something new everyday.

Red Giraffe's, Yellow Giraffe's?

WHAT IS GOING ON!

Disregarding comments about giraffes, maybe calling someone a Moron simply for saying what is common rumour (ie Pryce leaving Saints) was a tad harsh in my opinon. There is very little on these sites based on solid fact or information. They are here for debate and opinion. Just calling someone a Moron is a fairly negative way of putting your point across. If you are only going to debate solid facts then it might be an idea to join an encycolpedia discussion forum. Me I like a bit of rumour and speculation.

Eastmond was not going to leave Saints until it was announced yet it was debated at length on here without anyone calling anyone else a Moron for speculation. Same for Graham.

Pryce also has been debated before with the common consensus being that he was going to Bradford. We may all be Moron's even the Giraffe's in the group, but lets keep it to debate rather than play ground name calling.

Moron

Fair enough, I shouldn't have resorted to name-calling. Point taken.

Just to clarify the reason for my reaction though. It was not the fact the he was discussing the rumour of Pryce leaving. Like you, I dont mind specualtion and rumour.

However, it was the fact that "handrags" clearly stated that Pryce has said he wants to leave that really annoyed me. There is a difference between speculation and stating things that are simply not true, with nothing to support his claim. Surely you can understand my point?

Where's the bloody Giraffe gone?.......
