Winn Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 What a stupid decision he made and I am enjoying watching everything going against him at the moment. Idiot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
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...

No grudge here, He made his decision to leave, he hasn't held down a 1st team spot, he has been coached for a year by Pardew and we know the effect that has on a player. Look for other options.

Guest Howaythetoon Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 He can f*** off like, but he is a good player and was vital for us and how Rafa likes to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 His failure at Palace should be all the proof people need to confirm he is indeed a decent player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shak Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 He'd improve our current team for sure but to be quite honest when we do go back up I'd like to see us aim a bit higher than bringing Townsend back. Decent player but nothing special IMO. I don't really hold any ill will towards him but honestly a part of me finds it funny that his time at Palace has been a disaster. Given how his career had gone up until he came to Newcastle it was a monumentally thick decision by him to leave. A proven top class manager clearly rated him, knew how to best use his talents and envisaged him as a first team regular going forward. After a career of bouncing around on loan to a million clubs and failing to really get a proper run at Spurs you'd think he'd have been delighted to have finally found a club where things were going well and he looked set for the future, even if it meant a year in the Championship. Instead he gets all excited about going to play for Alan fucking Pardew. Moron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Possible bad agent advise but the responsibility falls on him. Said at time, if a player would prefer to play for pardew than benitez then glad to get rid. He clearly has no desire to settle down anywhere btu keep chasing imaginary greener grass elsewhere. I could maybe understand it in a year with euros or world cup at end in the hope he could get an (probably undiserved all in all) england place. I'd probably have him back, seems foolish rather than greedy or anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Genuinely can't believe how quickly it's gone tits up for the guy at Palace I didn't actually think he'd end up getting benched and wouldn't be playing. Pardew is incredibly bad at managing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Would have played every minute for us this season, albeit in the championship but would have been an absolute hero and would have developed further under Rafa of that I'm sure.

Yeah. Has to be absolutely gutted. I'm sure family was a factor but looks like a new level of moron at the moment. Maybe he will get back on track once pardew has been binned!
