timeEd32 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Think the reaction to this is a bit over the top. He was wasting away at Spurs and yes, we gave him a chance, but he's 27 and wants to play Premier League football. If you remove Rafa from the equation everyone would think "who can blame him?" Sure, we all think we'll get promoted and if we do with Rafa we'll be more attractive than many clubs, but given our history Rafa could easily walk by November and then he's lost at least one season. Add in the fact he's from London and this was probably pretty easy for him. Plus, I think he's a solid player but nowhere near as good as some make out. Would have destroyed the Championship mind you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

olliemort Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Meh. Liked him but I think Ritchie will be a very signing for the championship. He was never staying with us anyways. Don't know why the fuck he's going to palace. Stupid move by him Sent from my HTC One M8s using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Will be Townsend's 12th club aged 24 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Will be Townsend's 12th club aged 24 Omg, is that some kind of record at that age. Gonna be off again when Pardew ruins him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ads Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Disappointed like most about this. You could almost understand him wanting to move if he'd signed in the summer and bought into the top eight and cup run shite. But he joined in January, under McClaren, when we were already fucked. To bail now when, despite relegation, the club are starting to feel truly United with the city and the fans, and we have one of the best managers in Europe, and go to Palace and play under Pardew. Well then fuck him, and fuck him really hard. Right in the face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 We were basically a free hit for him. If we stayed up great, if not, meh, it's not his problem. Fuck him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toon25 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 He's ok. End of. As others have said numerous times on here, not one of the current squad have something that we couldn't replace. Ben Arfa, Carroll, Ba all had something that we wouldn't be able to replace easily. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Wouldn't want to see him injured out of his career but naturally I'd like to see the curse that hit Given, Carroll, Ba, Cabaye, Enrique, Bassong, Remy. Thre will be exceptions but it does seem in general that leave here whenwe like you and your career is on the up.......and it kind of hits the buffers.

Guest reefatoon Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Just wait until October when he joins science as a scape goat. Will realise the monumental fuck up he made, joining that blame hurling cunt bag of a manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 He will realise he has made a massive mistake half an hour into his first game for them, when he is standing alongside his own fullback watching the ball hurtling in the air to a lonely figure in the opposition half. Get used to that covering your fullback. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
