At this stage, Townsend back to #Nufc looks extremely unlikely. Not sure what the issue is, but Barrow being looked at as an alternative,

His stock has fallen since he left us, he's 25 years old and already played for something like a dozen clubs. He's the epitome of a journeyman player. He had a bit of a purple patch at the back end of last season and I would have loved to see if he could have carried it on onto this season and done what he hasn't managed to do in his career to date, which is have a full, good season but we didn't get a chance to find out and now I'm not bothered either way.

 

We're going up regardless of whether we sign him or not and Gouffran will be gone in the summer anyway so if it's not Townsend Rafa will be bringing in another wide player anyway.

giggs?

 

 

I've read this multiple times and still can't tell what he actually meant to say.

 

I guess hes saying Townsend jumped ship when we went down ,and now hes thinks he's doing the same to Palace... then calls him a lightweight player.... I think.

 

Thought it odd that a chairman appeared to be calling out one of their players like that, but had forgotten this spiv didn't own them anymore.

Certain that i'm reading too much into it but after the rumours last week, I hope this isn't the start of going after the cheap option & Rafa not getting the players he wants due to a power struggle.

 

Rafa ain't desperate for the job, like the last 3 clowns were, so if it is the case we'll soon find out because he won't be hanging around for long.

More in hope than belief, I am thinking Rafa/we could be playing CPFC/Fat Sam/& AT by lining up and being seen to pursue an alternative (meh). Can't imagine the former two having any motivation to do us a reasonable deal and the latter (though I would be delighted to have him back) has probably got an overinflated sense of his own value. If we can get him for what's he's worth (relative to others) then great; welcome to centre stage. If not, then he can fuck off and wallow in the shadows.
