The College Dropout Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He was good for us, but really don't get everyone's hype on him. He is nothing special, good left foot but so frustrating to watch. Of course he tried his all and seemed to care, but he really isn't Robert in his prime guys.. Sad to see him go obv Agree with this, he had a very short run here and he did very well, but a lot of us didn't rate him before he came here for a good reason. Wasn't Robert frustrating? Not saying Andros is on his level but most good-great but not world class creative players will be frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 At least we found out he was a mercenary c*** early on and got our money back. No harm done, now we can focus on bringing players here who understand what this football club is about and want to be part of something great. Is this serious? LOL what an awful post. It's from my perspective as a Newcastle fan, obviously being a Palace fan yourself you may view differently. You can only understand things from your own perspective? He's a mercenary c*** because he's joined a fairly established PL club? Out of all our signings in recent years few seem to genuinely work as hard and understand what this club is about then Townsend. I believe he joined us in the first place as he felt we should be able to stay up, he could get back into the England squad and we would be a fantastic club for him going forward. We've been relegated. He's in the prime of his career. He did his best to keep us here. He deserves to play in the PL this season. Comments like yours feed into this notion that football fans but especially Newcastle fans are fickle. If a good player leaves to play at a higher level or for a bigger club = mercenary c***. Grow up mate. We're the fickle ones? This guy came in beating his chest kissing the badge and all that bollocks and leaves after 13 matches having already said he wanted to stay after going down. I do realise footballers are thick greedy c***s these days but to talk about leaving NUFC to Palace like it's the natural order of things is stupid beyond belief. "Fairly established PL club" eh? Your cover's been blown. I suggest you delete your account and head straight back down to that s*** Palace forum you belong in, and worship your king along with the rest of them. We, as a fanbase, have been f***ed over by everyone and humiliated, and we're the fickle ones for not wanting one the few bright spots of last season to join the piece of s*** mostly responsible for our current situation. f*** that. Seriously. You seem more upset by the fact... and it is a fact.. that CP are a more attractive club than us at present. The lad hasn't left for a daft reason. He's left to keep playing at the PL level. You look like an idiot blaming Pardew for us being relegated. He left 18 months prior. And we signed £80m worth of player in his absence. Your hate for him (which is understandable somewhat) is blinding you to clear logic. You've become a parody account of yourself. Well played, Sir.

Well I didn't really mean the frustrating part, I accept attacking players will often be frustrating, but in club football he never looked up to much before coming here, then he had a short run of form and turned his reputation around. Is his time here really the best indicator of how he will be for the next few years? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelveys Hair Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Not arsed if he's gone, decent player but we need to rebuild. Id expect Janmaat, Sissoko, Wijnaldum and possibly Shelvey leaving next but if we build a steady side for the championship then we have a decent manager to keep on building if we get promoted.

Theregulars Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I feel like he looked better than he is in our absolute desperation and misery because he's quite good and he actually tried hard. Says more about the state of our club than him as a player. Would have liked to have seen him stay because I think he could become better with good coaching and playing in front of an appreciative crowd. However he's a grown man and if he thinks this is best for his career, then that's his call. To my mind, giving up an opportunity to work with Benitez to be coached by that malingering skid mark of a human is incomprehensible, but we are in the championship and - because we lack good players - he's on the cusp of the England team. It's short-term thinking, but it's understandable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hate for him (which is understandable somewhat) is blinding you to clear logic. Well I'm not the idiot continually licking the arse of a manager who nearly took us down twice, and went half a season without a win at your beloved Paliss. It's a fucking two bob club and always will be. No extra colorful fanfare and one shit song sung for 90 minutes will ever change that. There's a reason they've always been a yo-yo club, and it's because they're small time. You still don't seem to understand the magnitude of Rafael fucking Benitez agreeing to manage NUFC in a lower division do you? Palace aren't and never will be more attractive than us. Sure if you're shallow and a bit thick, it might seem that way this pre-season. There's a fucking reason why two PL players have just left their PL clubs in the prime of their careers and joined us. If you or Andros can't see the paths ahead for both NUFC and CP, well... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 You're delusional mate. We've done great on Rafa. Next year - sure in the PL we'll outgun them. But Palace have signed one of our top performers. Signed Mandana. We've signed their squad player and Matt Ritchie. They're currently a more attractive option.

hoppaz Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Gonna say just this he was reporterly offered a new deal for more money to take the clause out but he wants to play at the highest level both domestically and as an international. Can't blame him for that desire. Hope Rafa activates his relegation clause again next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Fuck me there are some dumb ass keyboard warriors on here sometimes. Pardew is a shit manager for sure but he didn't get us relegated, fat mike with his ridiculous appointments did. I know it's fashionable to attack TCD on here but he's entitled to his opinion and he's no more right or wrong than most people. Although Palace are a more attractive proposition than us next season, I dont think anyone is disputing that they are a shitty little club, with a dick of a manager and that Townsend is not only pretty stupid but he turns out to be a disloyal cunt. What a surprise. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he might regret it but he had the option, he has no reason to show us any loyalty really. His mistake to make. The reality is football fans have gone on too long allowing this to become reality. He does owe us everything. If we didn't come in for him he'd have been tucked away in the reserves at Spurs, never mentioned in the wtf to Roy's exclusion of him at the euros and he'd have been dreading his return back to his club gearing up for another season watching first team matches from the stands or his home. He owes us everything, and by us I mean Rafa. Because under McClaren he was hurt and sort of not doing much of anything either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 He is gone now, move along. Pardew will sign enough decent players this summer to get Palace enough points to survive, then he will ruin them midseason...and repeat cycle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decky Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Can't wait until we're back in the Premier League with Rafa and he's rotting under Pardew. I've zero time for players that leave us, especially where we are now rebuilding under a great manager. Remember last time we went down? All that rats that left us amounted to nothing and I expect it to be largely the same this time round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
