leffe186 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yup. I think I've said it somewhere else - he's got a fair bit of talent but probably not enough brains to make the most of it. I think there are places where he'd be very successful, but he doesn't do what Poch needs in all-round play, so he's surplus to requirements. If you can get 10M+ for a local guy, who cost you nothing, who's surplus to requirements then yay. I'd be happy to keep him as an impact sub, but there are other kids coming through who can do that. As for his real value - well let's say that I'd rather have him than Thauvin. I reckon we can get 14M for a young England international, given the ludicrous money out there. Rumour has it that we've already got that from somewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Been reading up on a couple of Spurs forums and they are pretty much in agreement with leffe. There seems to be an appreciation of some attributes like his pace and skills, but there is also the opinion that he doesn't make the right decisions when in dangerous positions. Not enough end product basically. Sounds a bit like Jonas but probably a level above since he couldn't cross or shoot for shit. Plenty of their fans seem to think it's a mistake to let him go as well, the opinion being that he hasn't been given much of a chance (a bit like Thauvin).

nufc4eva Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Sounds a bit like Jonas or worse Obertan! There is no such thing as a worse Obertan. I'm fairly sure Townsend is a lot better that Obertan even just going off limited viewings of his performances Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I'd rather throw £14m at Stoke to see if we can entice Shawcross up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Don't know how to feel about this. If Schteve still has his England jacket he might be able to convince the doylum he's playing for England every week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 A striker is a more immediate priority than a winger, particularly one who has a shit end product. We have had enough of them over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'd rather throw £14m at Stoke to see if we can entice Shawcross up here. £14m should do it. Stoke will be well up for it. I'm sure one of the most highly rated centre backs in the league, will be keen to join a team in the bottom three Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 guardian reckons interest is coming to an end. Not fussed either way tbh. I think he might have done okay here, but not sure I want to pay more than £10m on a player who hasn't made it at Spurs. If Levy thinks he can get £14m for him good luck with that.

TRon Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 That Pete Graves reckons it's still on. They want £14m, we've supposedly offered £10.5m. You would have thought at some point Levy would think they were getting close to a very reasonable deal for Spurs if it edges up towards £12m. They're cunts, we're cunts, no surprise we are squabbling down to the last penny. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
