Nobody Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Don't rate Townsend, and you have to worry about signing a player for close to our record fee that has never really made it at Spurs. Much rather put that money towards Berahino. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 For £14m you could buy a couple of non-league teams and gamble for another rickie lambert/Jamie vardy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 That Pete Graves reckons it's still on. They want £14m, we've supposedly offered £10.5m. You would have thought at some point Levy would think they were getting close to a very reasonable deal for Spurs if it edges up towards £12m. They're cunts, we're cunts, no surprise we are squabbling down to the last penny. Difference is we surpassed reason when it went over £10m. madness to raise it when theres better around. We are obviously prepared to pay a premium for premier experience and a certain level of proven ability. I'm not sure there is better around that is either available for that fee or has that premier experience. Unless they are 29 or something. Townsend is still only 24 so fits our brief for bringing in players of a certain age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Townsend did have a purple patch where he was being picked for England and did well for a while. So I guess the thinking must be that there's a good player in there who can do a job for us even though he couldn't get into the spurs side. Bellamy failed in the premier until Bobby backed his judgement and brought him here. Maybe McClaren has that same belief in his eye for a player.

TV money kicks in so values will soar, if he comes and plays well then he's worth £20m plus, if he Obertans it then some mugs (!) will probably still buy him later for his DNA.
