Hanshithispantz Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 One new first teamer this window does little to guarantee we've got the required talent to pull out of this. there's 3-4 players who an injury to could potentially ruin us full stop. We've had a lot of injuries but luckily none of them have been Sissoko or Wijnaldum. Mitrovic goes down and we're back to Cisse leading the line (or Riviere ), we're taking a huge risk (like usual). It's one article, none of us have a clue what's going on Yeah but the point is still true, we need to sign at least another 2 imo (striker and a LB), anything less and we're taking a huge gamble. Not saying we wont do that, although I wouldn't be surprised. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Skysports reporting that a deal for Townsend is back on and edging closer. All very tiresome for someone that we dont really need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hope we get him if the alternative is no one. Really need another pacy option in the attacking positions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Skysports reporting that a deal for Townsend is back on and edging closer. All very tiresome for someone that we dont really need. To be fair, we definitely need a winger. Only width we have is Janmaat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Still see no evidence that Townsend is this natural winger who gives width and puts crosses in if i'm honest, his entire career has been cut in and shoot with very limited success.

timeEd32 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 one minute the papers report we're ready to smash the transfer record, the next we may just call it quits on the window And then someone else says one of those deals may be done.

Ketsbaia Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Not only is there only one source, but it could be a negotiation tactic from our end. All rules go out the window on deadline day, anyway. We honestly have no idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I assume when you 'walk away' you're last offer is effectively still on the table until an alternate player is signed. Would not be surprised if we still get Townsend but that Berahino was never going to happen regardless. It'd be an atrocious move for all involved bar NUFC.

wyn davies Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Go for Remy on loan or cheap purchase and take the Spanish kid for 1.2 , still got Cisse when he's fit and Mitrovic may hit a purple patch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I quite like Townsend but Spurs have got a fucking cheek playing for big money. Not good enough for their 18 but worthy of a £14m price tag? I get Daniel Levy driving a hard bargain for a world class player like Bale or Modric, but this is fucking Andros Townsend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
