If he wants to move back to the Premier League surely there's a better move out there for him?

 

Pardew has an incredible track record of nulifying his own wingers and Palace were in free fall. How can that be an encouraging prospect for him?

 

I think if it was Southampton, Everton, West Ham etc I'd be more understanding but to move to another potential relegation battle with Pards.. Urgh!

He is correct to leave for a EPL club.  I wont blame him for this, and he is one of the fews that really give us all in the relegation fights.

 

The problem is he is joining a sinking ship that wont do him any good.  Its DAFT.  Playing under Pardew is s***, playing behind Zaha and Bolasie is even shitter. What is he thinking? Bench warmer again?

I'll set you on fire if you ever say EPL again

That's  not what people are against man. It's been mentioned on numerous occasions, it's the club he has jumped ship for that has people riled.

 

Well they are, they are calling him foolish for not staying with us as it lacks foresight. The guy is a premier league player who wants to play in the prem. Disappointing from our POV but I wouldn't expect anything else.

Someone else mentioned it which nailed it. It wasn't like with Wijnaldum where he was sold the whole challenge for Europe thing so should feel done by, he signed in January where he must have seen what we'd been like and had a good chance of going down still, yet has happily just washed his hands of us to sign for probably one of the only teams who were actually worse than us in his spell here. He can naff off.

Have no problem with him leaving.  As I think he's easily good enough to play in the Prem and was one of our only decent players from last year.  But I would have thought perhaps a club like Everton or Southmapton may have shown some interest. 

 

Joining Palace and Pardew, is a terrible move.  He works hard TBF to him.  So I hope he enjoys playing as an auxiliary full back.

Did Hodgson leaving England have any bearing on Townsend reportedly leaving? Ithink Townsend felt more secure about his England prospects with Hodgson as boss.

 

You would have to think so, he needs to impress a new manager who might not even bother to watch the Championship.

He wants to play in the prem. The club had only itself to blame.

 

Thought he really bought into it up here. Then I remembered all footballers are greedy self centred arseholes.

 

Yup.

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's a bit pathetic of him to leave so soon, but assuming Ritchie is coming here soon I'd rather have someone who wants to be here giving it their all than someone who thinks Palace is a better place to be.

This fella has bought Pardew's snake oil and magic beans.

 

I would love to have been a fly on the wall when Pardew was peddling his lies to him about glorious, front-foot football and team identity.

Official.  :'(

 

Fuck him man, he's chosen to be coached by Pardew over Benitez so he's clearly a short sighted fool. He was good in some of his short stint here, but I trust Rafa to make good use of the money we get from it.
