SEMTEX Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I don't get why anyone feels anything for the guy, he played for us for 5 minutes and we got relegated. Forget about him. He was here 6 months and we got relegated. Shame he's at Palace, but otherwise ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ to anything he says/does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minhosa Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'd take him back in an instant which is mad when I was completely against him signing back in January. I understand his argument for wanting to leave but not to a Pardew side FFS. If he'd only stayed and ripped this league up I'm fairly sure he'd be in the same sort of position he is in now with England and given how settled he seemed it would have been a better shout to have stayed around I think.

khay Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Only issue i have is that he that he made a mistake of joining a Pardew team. Otherwise he worked his ass off for us while he was here but he wanted to stay in the prem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 I'm not turning down Andros Townsend in January like He won't come though as even if he wanted to for some reason Palace are not going to sell him for anyway close to the £13m they bought him for. We're not paying £20m+ for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubestationatmidnight Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 England dumped him from a great height in the summer. Playing for that shambles that is England nowadays is hardly a massive thing and massive incentive to leave. Took a massive step downwards. His loss. We have moved on. Wouldn't have him back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think of Benteke as an ex-Villa player seeing as he hardly got a sniff at Anfield. Still no real comparison to Townsend, Benteke wasn't wanted at Liverpool, absolute opposite for Townsend at Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 It's obviously about England though, whether his opinions of having to be playing in the Premiership to be picked are justified or not. Even if Palace are in the relegation zone and we're running away with the Championship in January I doubt he'd be open to a move back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milburn Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 If Rafa Benitez could do a season in the Championship, then so should Townsend. For one thing I'm sure: one season in the Championship, coached by Rafa, would have done wonders for Townsend. He'd come back up in the Premier Leage as a better player claiming for a place in the England squad. Shelvey is going down that route and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if he is in the England squad one year from now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 Don't see how anyone could have a problem with Townsend leaving us. He came in January and was told if we went down he could leave. We went down and a Premier League club offered him a job on probably similar terms to what he already had with us. He used to live in London and had no feelings for Newcastle prior to joining us. He also knows that he has more chance of playing for England in the Premier League than the Championship due to the bizarre selection process of this country. It's a no brainer for him. I wish him well as he came in and did an excellent job for us and he put everything in to try and help us stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 He also knows that he has more chance of playing for England in the Premier League than the Championship due to the bizarre selection process of this country. It's not that bizarre like, nor is it exclusive to just this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a player is good enough to play for the international team, then he is good enough - it doesn't matter which team, league or country they play their football in imo.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 AT typifies the modern English footballer. Stays at Spurs too long to the detriment of his career and when he does sign for someone where it looks like his career will really blossom, he leaves. Using the PL and England as justification. Imagine Messi leaving Barca to come to the PL because he thinks it will help him win the WC with Argentina... AT is fucking stupid, a grade a thick cunt up there with the best (worst of them). Sadly I'm pretty sure his agent, friends, family et al will have all helped to make him come to the decision he did, because its good for his career innit. He will never play for a bigger club than us or a better manager than Benitez and we will cross trajectories soon, NUFC going upwards, AT downwards. Fool! Btw I was quite gutted when he left because he would be the best player in this division by miles and he would be the difference. He's a genuinely good player capable of becoming a top-class player. Under Pardew though... Anyway fuck him and anyone else who is too thick to realise a good thing and that's what Rafa and NUFC combined were for AT.
