LFEE Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 If you're pretty comfortable with a table seat from Newcastle to King's Cross, and you're past Peterborough, are you going to then pay over the odds to upgrade to First Class for the final leg of the journey? If it was reasonably priced you might take it, but you might baulk at it if you thought it was too expensive. Eh? You are always going to get to london though no matter what. We are not totally certain of getting promotion, we are big favourites but things can change easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 We need Townsend then bleat on about how we're fucked if Shelley is injured. They don't even play the same position!! Well yeah, we need another creative outlet. Not just for when he's injured but at home where he's often fairly successfully negated. He's never negated like, we're always worse without Shelvey. Of course we are and I didn't suggest anything to the contrary. At home he's been significantly stifled in 2 games that I've seen leading to defeat this season and it would be good to have another outlet. Ritchie, Diame, Atsu & Perez all have it in them to be such an outlet. Some produce less frequently than others, but we're far from being a complete one man team.

Hanshithispantz Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 For another Emily Ratajkowski analogy that makes no sense. She's coming round your house after you played your texting A-game, but all you have in is a couple of ASDA Lasagnas and a 2l bottle of Highand Spring Water. You have money in your bank, loads in fact you've just been paid, and a shit load of petrol. You could drive to Marks & Spenser's and pick up a meal deal for 2 with a bottle of wine. You don't. You risk it. You're a fool. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 TBF that argument has two sides. Signing Townsend wouldn't guarantee promotion either, we'd go from being big favourites to a bit bigger favourites. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 You're Alan Barnes. A nice young lass has raised £300k and you've fucked off to the Shetlands. Do you give her a decent reward when you can get away with a tenner? Do you fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always the risk someone jumps in front of the train, breaks down, regardless, but ultimately we're still well on course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It's the clubs fault period. They didn't want to spend because they believe on doing things on the cheap. If we had any intentions of bringing him in it would have been done before deadline day as both Palace wanted him out and the payer wanted to return.

Palace didn't want him out that badly or they wouldn't have been dicks about the loan fee. They could easily have offset that against the £13m in the summer and if we didn't get promoted so didn't take the option to buy, surely he would command a better fee after playing rather than warming their bench. Didn't see Townsend come out begging to return either....probably hoping another prem club would swoop in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't see Townsend come out begging to return either....probably hoping another prem club would swoop in. No other premier club really came in for him. As far as we know ,so does that mean he is over priced or Palace had no desire to sell him for the 13 million. Think they be more to it than just Ashley not wanting to spend money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhtoon Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Yeah, if you look at the beginning of this thread you can see what our opinion of him was for £12m. Now he has 4 months shining in a relegated team of sh1te and 6 months on the bench for another struggling team. Don't get me wrong, I would like him back and £13m is fine with me but would rather stand our ground then get walked over by Palace and Fat Sam. Of course when Ashley offers 10m in summer then I'll be full on raging. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 It was pretty obvious from the short interview with Allardyce on Sky that he was determined to keep Townsend and that Townsend wanted to go. We don't know the full story, but I think there was more to it than Palace naming a price and us refusing to meet it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Townsend did not do enough personally to force a move. He could have put in a transfer request and if refused he could have made sure he was injured for the rest of the window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
