Wallace Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Other than it being London, Palace does not make much sense unless he is desperate to leave at any cost., Where will he fit in, will Pardew improve him (no, judging his record here), will he get a significant pay rise? West Ham are meant to be interested but surely he would be a squad player there. To me, it would make sense to wait until January to see how we are doing because the current options don't seem that great at the moment - although of course that could change by the end of August.

Marmoset Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 If it was 8m he'd probably get a chunky signing on fee and a bit of a wage rise. Would hope and he seems he has a bit more about him than that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 For someone with England aspirations I think any PL team where you will get regular football is better than playing in the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 True, but the next tournament is two years away. There's no immediate rush. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 For someone with England aspirations I think any PL team where you will get regular football is better than playing in the Championship. Nobody remembers what you did two seasons ago though. The national coach will pick on the form shown in the most recent top flight season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Along with chancel the only two players I don want to lose. Rated him before he came, rate him even more since he came. Don't begrudge him a move but desperate for him to stay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on the fringes like Townsend needs to keep himself in the picture. I really like the lad. But it's in his best interests to leave. He's too good to play in the Championship. If he can get regular first team football for a decent side he could cement his spot in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can get regular first team football for a decent side he could cement his spot in the squad. I get the too good to play in the Championship stuff, but spending one season in there to help the side with the best chance of going back up is hardly going to hurt him. In fact the 40+ games he could get if he stays injury free could do him wonders, given how little two top tier games he's played for a 24 year old. If we fail to go up he can of course make noises to leave, but everything makes sense to stick with it and come back up with us. I'm hoping he does and think he will.

Hanshithispantz Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Townsend playing 1 year in the Chanpionship will have minimal bearing on his England career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Townsend playing 1 year in the Chanpionship will have minimal bearing on his England career. He only got in the provisional squad because we bought him, and he openly acknowledged that fact the other day. I think he could be tempted by a better club, but I don't see him being desperate to leave or owt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's what, 8-9 games played during next season. He won't be considered for them. We might also have a different national team manager. I want him to stay. But I just don't see how it's in his best interest to stay. He's not played a lot of PL football and he's 24. Another season out the spotlight. We'll see how things develop. West Ham, Everton and the like should be in for him if they have any sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I hope he just stays. No point in leaving for s*** clubs like Palace, even if they are a league above us. Sit it out for a year, and if somehow we don't get promoted he can leave next summer. I have a good feeling he will hang around and absolutely destroy the championship.

toontownman Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Weird this 8m clause and palace rumor is still being peddled since local journos have confirmed it is 13m. Will have to get used to it though. This type of stuff us going to happen for every player until the window closes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
