watty 1892 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He's a good player, better than what we have at present and given the way he left last summer I imagine he'd feel pretty guilty if he was to come back and would want to win over any negative feelings towards him through effort on the pitch. Footballers are mercenaries looking out for themselves, he owed us no loyalty. Yes, leaving to go and play for Alan f***ing Pardew instead of Rafa is like ditching your Victoria's Secret model in favour of dry humping the gap between sofa cushions but he was chasing the Premier League and given the signings Palace were making last summer you can't blame him for thinking they might do something of note this season. It hasn't worked and if he wants to come back we should be happy that we have a good player regardless of how or why he left in the first place. Brilliant analogy but I would have gone with sticking your knob in a bacon slicer rather than shagging the couch judging by the way he ruined players.

Leazes_End_Mag Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Due to sheer boredom, I just watched the final 15mins of the first half of Palace/Bolton on periscope. Although it was only a small section of the crowd I could hear, I wasn't quite aware just how much Palace fans hate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it was only a small section of the crowd I could hear, I wasn't quite aware just how much Palace fans hate him. On their forum he's called "Andross", "Dross" and ,"Townsnoendproduct". They seem to think we want a loan but Fat Sam wants hard cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonTastic Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 All these posts but nothing more concrete than a like on twitter? Seems a long shot Not totally true, we have this blinder “We are not talking about names,” Benitez replied with a smile when asked if Townsend was a player he would like to bring back to the North East.

HawK Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 On the basis that all footballers bar a minority are money-focused, double-digit IQ cretins, I find it hard to blame Townsend for anything he's done. As a footballer at Spurs would he really know anything at all about our fans feelings towards Pardew? He's hardly gone there to spite us now has he. It looks like he wanted to stay in the PL, have a chance at England and he thought Palace would allow him to do that. So he's stupid. Would have him back here in a heartbeat no question.

Me too - seemed to click at our place and had a good relationship with Rafa. Made a professional decision (wrongly in my opinion) but did it in the right way and as far as I'm aware didn't twist in public. No hard feelings at all towards him and would welcome him back.

Ikon Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Just imagined Shelvey with Townsend, Gayle and Ritchie in the Championship (Ritchie is class at this level with the right players in the team) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I kind of admire Townsend for having the guts to hold his hands up and come back, with all the scrutiny and some criticism that will come with it. Fair play. i won't hold it against him. He'll be lucky to be getting another chance really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-421 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Loan now with a view to making it permanent works for us, but not sure Palace will go for it, as they (Fat Sam) will probably want the cash now to spend this window. Hopefully a deal can be sorted though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
