Optimistic Nut Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I'd prefer this. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/868892/Newcastle-News-Rafa-Benitez-PSG-Hatem-Ben-Arfa-Transfer-Gossip Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 The express have just made that up though. He's probably worth around £20m now though and he suits the way we play to a tee. We should have been all out to get him last January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Just saying Townsend is the type of guy you sign when you are owned by Mike Ashley, not when you are owned by Middle Eastern billionaires Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Dont rate Townsend like some do. I think those that do base it solely on the time he had here, the time he used us to get his career back on track and prove something to Pochetino and himself. (When he was here it wasnt like it was difficult to shine in a side full of deadbeats.) Like a diamond embedded in a turd. He hasn't really made a massive impact at Palace.

I wouldn't - hopeless player - was glad he left especially as we got Richie as his replacement. Exactly, Ritchie prepared to drop a league and join Rafa, and graft his balls off. Townsend could only give a fuck about Townsend. Not Rafa and not us, and he would never have worked as hard as Ritchie. We have players who give a fuck now, no room for mercs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BONTEMPI Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 If we end up shitting money we need to aim a lot higher. Lets get new owners first like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously goes without saying I'm just saying that if we were to get sold then obviously our expectations should be higher than with Ashley.

Kimbo Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Townsend has never actually had a good season, he can never maintain his form. Even in today's crazy market he's worth nowhere near £30m. I also agree that Ritchie is a better player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Townsend's half a dozen good games up here were his career highlight. He scored a couple of goals for England too. That's honestly it and I think we can - and will - do much, much better than him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Townsend caused us trouble all day, don’t really see how people can question his ability. Wouldn’t have him back purely because he obviously wasn’t arsed about being here in the first place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He set up their best chance in the first half, which tbh Zaha should have done better with. I’m not saying he is a world beater, but he is a good player and would certainly improve our squad.

From where I was in the gallowgate, he looked a danger every time he got or was near the ball in the first half. second half not so much. Dont know how it looked on TV though.
