Daily Mail reporting Townsend wants to stay.

 

We will see.

 

Was this on twitter or something as I cant find anything.

It was a HITC article who claimed Daily Mail were reporting it.

 

I have a feeling that they stumbled upon the Daily Mail's article from a few weeks ago when it was rumoured he would be keen to stay before anyone declared interest.

Chronicle have reported this evening that Crystal Palace intend to activate the release clause and want to sign Townsend, but not a crystal clear Townsend is signing for them.  Let's hope Andros makes the wise decision...

Of course Pardew will want to sign our players that haven't ended up here on his useless recommendation. He could buy Obertan for a tenth of that fee if he trusted his own judgement.

I still think better teams than Crystal Palace will be in for him. The Evertons, West-Hams and Southamptons could definitely use him, possibly even Leicester. I don't think he will go to Palace but I dont think this will be the end of it either.

It wont be the end as we've still got over 60 days left in the window to hang on.

Will get worse nearer the deadline. Clubs fail to get their main targets and start frantically looking at other options in order to fill a hole in their squad. Townsend and his release clause will be the perfect "panic buy" for lots of Premier league clubs.

 

I think the only chance we have of him staying is if he's absolutely determined to stay here.

Good chance of a bidding war if that happens.

Not really considering he has a release clause in his contract.

Not regarding Townsend though.

Arsenal activated Luis Suarez's clause but Liverpool didn't sell. I've been a bit skeptical of them since.

 

we did it with that Taylor at Swansea too, nothing happened. I think their could be something written into it on a players side that if it's activated it also automatically activates a renegotiation on their current contract too

Ah I've got it, from football365 website:

 

'Townsend’s dad Troy told BBC Five Live: “Newcastle could rise quickly and Andros looks forward to many more seasons with them.”

 

Townsend thought he had been substituted against Spurs on Sunday with fans affording him a standing ovation before he returned to the field.

 

His dad tweeted: “Still getting goosebumps from that standing ovation for the ‘wrong’ substitution and today’s news just adds to that pride!”'

Sounds like a token answer to being asked whether he would be leaving to me, I was hoping for a more definitive 'Andros will be staying' sort of statement. Not feeling so confident on this one.

Zaha has just got their player of the season and plays the same position as Townsend. He wouldn't be guaranteed a game if he went there so I'm hoping that may sway his decision
