Yorkie Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Have decided I'd really love it if he came back. He's clearly a step above this division and, what's more, he's got bags of pace and as we've seen several times this season - it's something we generally lack. Yedlin is an exception so to have it on both sides (you'd envisage Ritchie and Townsend switching during the course of home games), would be massive for us. In for a rude awakening if you think Rafa is going to play him and Ritchie imo. One of them would be on the bench. In which case I honestly wouldn't see the point, then.

toontownman Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Ritchie was on the left quite a lot today. I'd imagine they could both play very easily. Thought that was killing two birds by putting sameobi on for shop window purposes while also testing Richie out on the left again. I do think ritchie is weaker on the left but with wingers that switch sides throughout the game. It could be drool worthy. Ameobi can't play for any team other than ourselves or Bolton this season Good point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallowgate Toon Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Not a chance he wouldn't play both together. They both do exactly what he wants in every area of the pitch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't we have both of them on the pitch at the same time. Doesn't take that much of a stretch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikon Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Him and Yedlin on the right would be frightening at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevo Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not just this season, but Matt Ritchie and Andros Townsend as your wingers would definitely be good enough in the Premier League. Potentially if we sign Atsu he is adequate back up on one wing, too. Hopefully we get this sorted so in the summer Rafa can focus on strengthening our central midfield and defence along with a couple of back up players for depth.

STM Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Sounds like we might be getting him on loan, with a view to a permanent deal in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbnufc Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Duno if that has been posted, but in the express they say: However, the deal could hinge on what sort of offer Rafa Benitez's side are willing to make. Townsend wants to return to St James' Park on loan rather than commit to a side battling for Premier League promotion. If it is him who only wants the loan, fuck that.

At least we'd know that he's only here for the short term. He uses us, we use him. Then we buy someone better and more committed next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In for a rude awakening if you think Rafa is going to play him and Ritchie imo. One of them would be on the bench. He's started Ritchie and Atsu together. No reason he wouldn't play Townsend with the former. Very rarely, only in cup games or the odd games he rested Gouffran. I don't want it, but it's quite clearly when push comes to shove that Gouffran is going to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not above Townsend he wouldn't, man. And Ritchie's obviously not getting dropped anytime soon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
