It's only just dawned on me that his parents named a baby Andros. :lol:

 

Isn't that the name of the big evil boss in the original SNES Starwing game? (US people read 'Starfox')

 

Indeed it is.

tbh I don't remember his exit being very acrimonious. Would have him back as he'd improve us massively. Feels like lots of cutting off the nose to spite the face going on :lol:

 

alternatively BOOOOO. He left and leaving turned out to be a mistake for him, which he couldn't have foreseen. BOOOOOOO. Burn his fuckin house down. BOOOOOOO. Sow his garden with salt.

 

:lol: very much this

Football is nothing as a sport without spite and bitterness. He left out the back door to go into fucking Pardew's arms. Generally I'm more miffed that this is the only option we have to bring in despite now having a manager with Rafa's connections.

 

However, if we are really keen to bring him back, the player fancies it to some extent and Rafa wants him why are we pissing around trying to do a loan deal? We're £30 million in surplus and they're trying to raise funds for Allardyce's rebuilding job. We know he'd tear it up this season and do a job next year too. Tight bastards.

Newcastle, though, do not have the sort of transfer budget Benitez hoped for this month and the Spaniard has instead been looking at loan deals.

 

This has been fairly obvious but has this been spelt out clearly before? I know there was the mess over Ashley taking more of an interest but does sound like we've let Benitez down significantly.

There's clearly something in this. Too many journos reporting it and there's no smoke without fire.

 

Why aren't we looking at signing him permanently now? Think that's the question most of us want the answer to.

Money? Looks like we do only have the first installment of the Sissoko fee + whatever was left from the summer.... unless we can get someone moved on, and off the wage bill (Tiote?)

 

Promotion? Still far from certain with half the season to play. A player like Townsend would help. But still a risk that we don't go up... and there may not be a sell on clause this time, and we'd be stuck with him and his (undoubtedly) high wages.

 

I do hope it happens, but can see why we probably want to try and loan him (with a view to the summer) first.

Newcastle pushing for Andros Townsend loan, could see Boro's Stewart Downing move to Palace on loan #nufc #cpfc #boro

 

 

Swapping Townsend for Downing? Mental.

Think Fat Sam had him at West Ham.

Do find this a strange move for all parties, but obviously he will improve us significantly so fair enough.

 

It's not strange at all if you are of the opinion that it was a daft move to go to Palace in the first place. We resurrected his international career and gave him a stage to do his stuff. If he's finally realised that then at least it shows he's not completely brain dead.

 

More worrying is that we are supposedly pissing about with the loan option. Again, I hope that's not true because you don't hire a manager like Rafa and then start penny pinching.

Hehe, that works for me, like.

 

Palace get a replacement till the summer (and someone Sham knows/likes?), then if/when we (hopefully) go up they get their £££ for Townsend.

 

Everyones a winner!
