Guest firetotheworks Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 To think so many would rather have seen Thauvin played instead of signing Townsend. Really? Who are these people? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 I can't remember what anyone thought about that, but you can't exactly blame people for being sceptical about signing yet another winger and disposing of one we had without decent explanation.

Incognito Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 There weren't many of us happy to see him sign, that is for sure, though of course, I was one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alberto2005 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Allardyce was asked where Sunderland would be without Defoe, his answer was relegated. I'd say the same for this guy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 To think so many would rather have seen Thauvin played instead of signing Townsend. Really? Who are these people? Not really rating him. About the same stats as Obertan. Hopefully he can flourish here. 5 years of Andros Townsend on the wing Be just good enough to keep his place and ensure we don't bring anyone else in. Times like this I wish we'd given our other 12 million pound winger a chance, or never got rid of the best way player we've had in a decade in the first place. There must be something wrong for him if ALL Spurs fans thinking he is s*** and wanna get rid of him asap. I repeat, ALL. The comparable player, just to make you get the feeling, is our Obertan. Even Colback and Gouffran got some defenders here but Obertan got none. And if you think this gamble is fine, you must be mad. 12m FFS. I would rather sign some upcoming youngsters in Championship than this. Would rather give Thauvin and even Aarons a go then this useless s*** c***. We don't even need this bloke. We've got Thauvin who requires a run of games to prove 'he can be a quality winger' and we've Perez who can do a job out wide until we find someone who will have a much bigger, sustained impact, a bit like that foreign c*** at West Ham who was signed for 8 f***ing million - 33% cheaper than this sprinter. I'd much rather give our existing unproven s**** a run in the side than spunk away money on someone who has so far proven to be ineffective in the premier league, even if people like to pretend otherwise for some reason.

Big Geordie Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Turned out to be a cracking signing - without a doubt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 So two people out of the six people you've quoted then. Fair enough. 2 people? Nice counting. Also comparing him to Obertan I'm sure counts, or is probably even worse. Anyway people had their opinion before his signing and that's fine, we've all been wrong on players before.

Menace and Minhosa are the only people who mention him by name, Hans mentioned him in a wider point about how we he didn't get a chance/how we should have kept HBA. Hardly a lot of people or anything and we still should have signed a striker regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
