xLiaaamx Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 To be fair, I thought it was going to get better after he came on at Stoke and nearly turned the game round. Then Schteve started Riviere instead of him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altamullan Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 So , Andros Townsend then... I'm just catching-up but can only imagine the above is relevant if we're heading to a kind of Mexican Soap Opera revelation that Townsend is in fact Doumbia's love child conceived with some Cypriot chick whilst he was playing in a s*** league there under, his original name, in the early 90s. I'm on tenterhooks here, for the next plot twist; think I'll microwave some popcorn and wait to see if Doumbia was at Ominia and Nikos Dabizas is actually Andros's grandfather. P.S. Anyone know if he's signing? No, not Doumbia... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSC26 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I still think Towsend will sign. Shame if we do lose Mbemba though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Think Rafa is playing a dangerous game just to make Townsend a nufc player again. What bothers me is the risk in futher down the line losing a CB to injury or two CBs to injury which has happened before. Mbemba should be able to be recalled if so. I wouldnt want to go the rest of the season with only Hanley & youth players pushing for promotion. Im also hoping last time Townsend was here he wasn't just over performing in a side that was in relegation form and underperformed week in week out Hopefully it all works out well but its not like we are in desperate need for Townsend. Most of our ACN players due to return now we have left it this late in the window anyway? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FustinoSolano Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Would definitely take Townsend back but I feel the need for a No 10 and decent central midfielder is far greater. Perez and Diame are just not good enough to play behind Gayle and as was proven in Shelvey's absence we look completely lost when he's not there to pull the strings. Still think we'll have enough to go up but if Jonjo got injured I think it could be touch and go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Schlupp's only out for one game. Must improve our chances .. SA: Jeff's injury is not so bad as we thought. Maybe too early for Bournemouth, but certainly okay for Sunderland. Baky Sako's back as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Diame was great in the period before Shelvey's ban (everyone was shit after that), if he continues in that form I cannot think of many better players we could bring in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ujpest doza Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Diame was great in the period before Shelvey's ban (everyone was shit after that), if he continues in that form I cannot think of many better players we could bring in. He'd been poor prior to those few games though which raises the question of him getting himself into the groove for the AFCON. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 At this stage i'd be shocked if we don't get him. Brinksmanship on both ends, likely the same with McCarthy although he is much more likely to stay put. Clubs will be holding out for the best deal until deadline end. Townsend obviously wants the move, the palace move has been a disaster and Sam doesn't seem to really rate him. They will absolutely make a loss come seasons end if they don't agree something now.

LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Townsend is in poor form and surplus to requirements at Crystal Palace. No way should they make a profit on him. Crystal Palace aren't in a position of strength. They're in the bottom 3 of the Premiership and fat Sam still hasn't won a game. There's no guarantee Townsend will come back to NUFC and pick up where he left off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think the deal will go through as well. I know it's tempting to think why don't we stop pissing about and just pay what it takes, but all clubs drive a hard bargain unless they are mugs. We aren't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
