Andy84 Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 We won't be able to buy him so it would be a loan, it just seems impossible. He starts games for Palace who are looking to strengthen their squad, not weaken it. Loaning Townsend to us this window seems completely implausible, won't happen.

nemtizz Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 What a fickle piece of smegma. Can't see it happening and would prefer him to rot at Palace, but Gouffran and Ritchie... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'd welcome him back tbh. The whole thing has been an absolute embarrassment for him. Tbh. He did his work there. Get pardew fired, play like shit then return to us for 3/4m profit in our bank. He was the one player I didn't want to lose. Definitely thought fuck him when he left but I'm all for second chances. Just not the umpteenth colback gets in the starting line up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicane Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Would definitely take him back. Sure it's pretty shit that he bailed after six months to sign for an ALAN PARDEW team, but eh, he'd be a great signing. Most footballers these days are cunts anyway and as it goes he's only a mild cunt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole_Toonfan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 As Hans put it, I can't be arsed to HATE Andros Townsend like. He was an obvious stupid idiot going off to Palace and that was as obvious then as it is now. I wouldn't be arsed if he didn't come back, but it would be a big boost for our promotion, and that's more important to me than disloyalty in a game where loyalty doesn't exist anyway.

madras Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The blokes probably only liked it to show he liked it here, possibly not that he wants to come back, like "thanks for wanting me back" type thing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I'd definitely take him back. He came across very well while here, certainly well enough to think he'd know the potential consequences of him liking that tweet, so it could be a good sign. Fathead likes his own players, look how many he signed in his short stint here, and Palace spent 50M in the summer so there mightn't be much cash for him to get them. That could be a factor too.

This. He's probably just liked it because it's about him. Would have him back though fwiw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Mixed feelings. Horrible behaviour from the little twerp in the summer, but promotion.... Horrible behaviour is like Sissoko's antics. Townsend was nowt like that. I'd take him back if the price is right. Obviously he's nowhere near Sissoko levels of unadulterated evil but he did do a bit of a Delph in the summer, claiming he was stopping after the relegation. It's true that his commitment on the pitch could never be questioned. You'd have Moussa back at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I get the draw of staying a Premier League player and living close to home/friends the anonymity of London etc. He wasn't here long enough to build any kind of life. I felt it was a bad decision for him professionally to go to Palace, and bad for us to lose him. He had put in some good performances with glimpses of the exceptional. I think it would have been great for Andros to have a team rely on him, for once. Whilst he's missed that boat, he would scare the s*** out of most Championship defenders and really help breakdown the 'everybody and their granny behind the ball' tactics we're regularly facing. Come back and show everyone what you can do if given the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a Moussaka joke in their somewhere, but I've disgusted myself too much with that imagery to think... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Allardyce will want hard cash, hence their willingness to sell. I can't see there being a chance of a loan. It's probably going to take the 12m or so that they paid us. Personally, I can't see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Toon Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 It all depends on how much of the original fee was paid back and then the complexity of how it goes through the books in the same account year as far as im concerned. Im not in any way clued up on book value and all this she-ite but you just know it's right up there in the thoughts of Jabba. At a guess, the outstanding transfer fee could be anything from £1.5m to £6m but that's before thinking that them upstairs haven't done a Freddie Shepherd and earmarked future incomes from the original transfer as guaranteed incomes that then wouldn't be. Anyone still with me? :frantic: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He's a cunt for leaving, especially to Pardew. But he would destroy this league. If he's done a Thauvin and realised his mistake and returned home, then so be it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He can fuck off, it would send out the wrong signal. Oh you were too good for the Championship were you, but now you're back because it didn't work out and you want to be part of our group? That's what I'd think if I was a player for us. Again fuck him, he made a piss poor decision and it's biting him on the arse and good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
