afar Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Didn't even get off the bench. Part of me feels for him, but honestly he completely made his own bed and has to lie in it now. Would be pretty funny if we passed him on the way up. Talented player though not sure how Pardew has messed him up so much, it's a an amazing skill he has for sure.

LFEE Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 If I was Townsend listening to Pardew's comments about Zaha and England I'd be very concerned Such a dumb thing for Pardew to say also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Such a stupid move for him. Complete idiot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 He's just not that good a player, he's an alright player that had a short purple patch with us. He would have torn the championship up, but as a long term option in the premier league he doesn't really cut it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 It's quite beautiful, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 It really is, especially as the reason he left us was to get in the England team/squad. Not looking likely now with him rotting away on their bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubestationatmidnight Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Especially when England dropped him from a great height in the summer too. That should of been the last thing that influenced his career choice. Deserves all he gets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 He's just not that good a player, he's an alright player that had a short purple patch with us. He would have torn the championship up, but as a long term option in the premier league he doesn't really cut it. He is a good player, but he needs a good manager. Benitez got him playing well, after McClaren struggled. Now Pardew is struggling to get the best out of him. It's no shock. Shite manager, Shite results. I don't think he's great by any stretch but he has decent end product and pace to burn. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 He also would have looked a step above in this league. Would have done him no harm whatsoever, less harm than sitting on the bench next to the world's shittest manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's great by any stretch but he has decent end product and pace to burn. He's yet to even hold down a regular starting over the course of a season, and as for end product, during his time with us he almost doubled his career total of premier league goals, that tells you how unproductive he was before he came to us.

Whilst being managed by Pardew? Bit bizarre to write someone off having seen them play well for your own side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'd take him back in Jan for £6 mill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 He had good managers at Spurs and scored 3 goals in 50 games for them, I just think that if you look at what he's produced over his entire career that very short run of form here was an exception.

mrmojorisin75 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'd take him back in Jan for £6 mill We should absolutely make that offer and also make sure it's leaked to the press, more than once. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Anyone who wouldn't take him back is just holding a grudge, he'd definitely improve our team and competition for places on the wing. It wont happen though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YNGLEGIONNAIRE Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Rafa got this guy really performing and giving his all in a side that was floundering . He's got to be a good shout for a cracking squad member if the price was right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Ritchie is barely holding down a fairly regular place on the wing in the championship, competing against Gouffran and Atsu... Townsend would be a massive improvement on what we have, and would be ready made for next season back in the top division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Own stupid fault. The fact Benitez wanted to keep him should have rang a thousand alarm bells with him. Yet he still decided to go and play for that plum. Beautiful. Tit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Wouldn't take him back for even half the price. Fuck him, we'll get better and he'll end up jumping from club to club for the rest of his career now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
