Tiresias Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Bit confused by Townsend, dont watch spurs much but when he appeared for England he looked very good? His numbers for spurs seem bizarre in comparison. Hes clearly pacey & has a very strong shot on him, would seem a good combination. We've few good strikers of the ball. Yet he strikes it right footed and plays on the right, surely he could switch to left wing. Would be more suited to his shooting which seems a strength. I think international defenders hadn't worked his game out. In the league everyone knows what he's going to do from defenders to the fans and so he's pretty easily neutralised.

Guest Roger Kint Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I think we should pick up Enrique for free in the summer, he would be decent back up and I can't imagine his wages will be too high. Decent? Not played in about 3 years. Why on earth does a club with two shit/glass LB's need another backup combination of the two? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's s***, nothing much more to understand His numbers actually arent that bad, 4 goals & 6 assists in 1330 mins in league and cups last season. Thats contributing to 10 goals in 15 games worth of minutes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 We will look in the direction of best deal financially as always. If that proves to be Townsend then so be it, cant see us getting a CB though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that proves to be Townsend then so be it, cant see us getting a CB though. Need a CM first, a proper CM. If we get that I think we can fumble through at CB probably but trying to go the season with the CM options we've got is tempting fate massively. CB not much better, granted, but as least we have one who can play there and some others who are capable of decent games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_69 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 We're desperately short of service from wide areas, something that Townsend seems to provide. Without it, Mitrovic might as well leave. Townsend and Aarons on the wings with Mitrovic up front could be pretty potent. Sign a CB first though you set of twats!!

If we're going to continue to play these two out wide then we have more important areas to adress first. Give me a CM (2?), LB and a CB and after that i wont complain if we sign players for other areas. Not that i think we'll do even near enough..again..if anything..
