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...
relámpago blanco Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If we sign him I would pretty much be 100% confident of promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If we sign him I would pretty much be 100% confident of promotion. Yeah it'd be Routledge all over again, but better. We'd have huge threat on both wings and teams wouldn't be able to contain us, especially at home. 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...
HawK Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If he joins, would he be the first player we've ever signed twice in January windows, let alone consecutive? Might even be a first amongst all English clubs AFAIK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-421 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Pity we couldn't have just loaned him to Palace / a PL club in the summer - but I guess them activating his release clause prevented that as an option? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 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) With Hayden in the CDM role and Diame playing of Gayle, it would be cheating like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LV Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I don't understand why he would want to leave Palace already. I know he wasn't getting a game at the end under Pardew but I thought he was playing again now Allardyce is there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I don't understand why he would want to leave Palace already. I know he wasn't getting a game at the end under Pardew but I thought he was playing again now Allardyce is there. Only playing because Zaha is in Africa. Plus they've just signed Schlupp who is another winger ahead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
