Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 He is quick, direct and a threat. He is not worth 15m and is nothing amazing, but he will create and get his fair share of goals if given licence to attack and whip crosses in. I like and rate him. He's streets ahead of Obertan, although that's not saying much! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Time and time again we're linked with these sorts of players and we never buy a single one of them. "The English Premium" is not something we buy into. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deckard 13 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Has he even actually played that many minutes? FPL has him down as playing around only 1000 minutes in each of the last 3 seasons which is 11/12 games worth of play for someone who would cost 15m? He's hardly been prolific in that period either.

I'd be staggered if we bought him and paid more than about £8m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Obertan started at the weekend. We should sign all the wingers we can find until McClaren prefers one over Obertan. Townsend would be a great improvement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I've no problem with Andros. If we're signing a wide man, he's got to have pace and a decent eye for goal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Think Townsend would look better here than he does for Spurs. Teams generally defend deep against Spurs meaning it's more difficult for him to use his pace. You would think he would get more space playing for us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Southampton apparently after Celtics Van Dijk. Is he any good and if so why aren't we in for him? We desperately need another CH and McClaren's an idiot if he doesn't realise it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need another CH and McClaren's an idiot if he doesn't realise it. puzzler to me, looks OK, not great though. in Scotland, not so good in Europe. Sure there's better out there at a similar price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 While he plays in the SPL, which is always a worry, he is not Scottish - so there's a chance he's actually good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Or Hatem. I was always more pissed off at his dragging it to the bye line and not being able to get it back. I'd rather he had dragged it in and shot more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stottie Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Re: Townsend, I think he's been a victim of the big squad rotation and general instability at Tottenham in recent seasons. All the changes in manager and all the transfer ins and outs, esp. with the Bale money. Sigurdsson slotting back in at Swansea so well suggests that he wasn't used properly or given a proper chance at Spurs. Danny Rose may well have slipped under the radar too if he hadn't done as well at the Mackems. Some players have thrived at Tottenham, Lloris and Kane obviously, but it doesn't seem like the easiest club to have played for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
