TRon Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 He tried, he played fairly well. Fair play to him. Hope the talk in the BBC of a £8m release clause isn't true, but if it is good luck to him. Why would we agree to an £8m release clause after paying £12m for him a few months earlier? I'd take that with a pinch of salt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
khay Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 To convince him to join a sinking ship. But i thought it might have been a bit higher knowing our crew, so its probably 8million up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 If there's a word that sums up a few months in the Championship, 'tempting' is not the first one I think of. Oh I don't know...facing Burton, Rotherham or Arsenal hmmmm. Bang on with your post about relegation meaning you can't keep the players you want to keep or need to keep as well. Think West'am may be a good call for those who come sniffing for this lad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I think he could stay, seems a decent lad with his head in the right place. Would be incredible in the Championship and a huge coup if we keep him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanj Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 He'd have some Scott Sinclair style # of goals IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree with Tron there, it's crazy to do business that way, if there is a clause it will be for what we paid for him, you would have to be out of your tiny mind and hopelessly bad at your job to agree to that....oh hang on a minute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 He deserves it far more than James Milner, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty66 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hope this lad stays. Good professional and would tear it up in the championship. Rafa clearly rates him and is obviously one of the players he needs to stay. I think there will be a number of Premier league clubs making offers though.

Alberto2005 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 He'll leave IMO. He'll have plenty of offers and at this stage of his career probably needs PL football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If anyone can convince him to stay it's Rafa, one season in the championship won't wreck his career and he'll be back in the Premier League before the World Cup if the England team is on his mind.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Absolutely superb signing and he will tear up the Championship if he stays. Some of his decision making is crap like but he is a constant threat and never stops. My player of the season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Out of all of them I think Townsend is the most likely to stay and would do very well in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I'd definitely have him in the England squad, like. He's just a constant threat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If he stays, he will utterly piss the Championship in the same way Routledge did. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Spurs were far from their best but the pace of Townsend, Sissoko and Aarons destroyed them on the break. We need to scout and buy players with pace. It is a huge part of the game (Obertan is the exception which proves the rule). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I've absolutely done a 180 turn on him like. He's got two great feet and decent set pieces as well. He's one of the few players we absolutely must keep hold of. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If he stays, he will utterly piss the Championship in the same way Routledge did. Aye. Would be surprised if he doesn't get 25 goals and assists if he stays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Aarons - Colback - Shelvey - Townsend would be a center-mid away from being a really, really good midfield at that level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
