Flip Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 SSN Yellow scroller says 12m fee agreed At £12m I think this is a risk. But I'm glad we're getting someone who could potentially become a part in keeping us up. Not been overly impressed by him every time, but seen him have good games here or there before. Think we'd have a better chance of staying up if we spent that money on a left back and played the same attacking four as against West Ham rather than swapping Perez for Townsend. Same here. Oh I agree. But I rather we spent it on this than not at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hardly like Townsend is like some final piece in the jigsaw we just had to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Never been a big fan of his, but he does have ability and with a fresh start he could do well here. Some of the comments from Spurs fans are quite positive, didn't fit the way Pochetino wanted to play but does have talent. Certainly could cause problems on the break with his pace and direct running. Get it done and then focus on a striker for the last week of the window.

Parky Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 He scares teams and keeps the back four honest. He'll get 4/5 assists and a couple of goals and his price will remain solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Bailey Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 We have a top coach so the lad will surely only progress. Good luck to him, hope he hits the ground running, supplies pace and a bit of thrust and can link in nicely with our new striker that we sign tomorrow.

ads Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 The level of negativity on this board has reached an embarrassing level to be honest and just completely wears you down, how do you lot cope reading this shite every day? The same brigade were out in force when Shelvey was announced, one decent debut later and all of a sudden he's a decent addition? Seriously guys, while Townsend might not be Ben Arfa, he's a damn sight better than the other options we have in wide areas. I keep an eye out for the latest news on here but rarely post, half the board are fucking bi polar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Some balance in the side would be great, at the moment out left side is completely impotent. It's not the most important signing in terms of staying up, but I've got decent hopes for him. Could go to the Euros if he plays a blinder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 By the sounds of it I don't think he's got the footballing intelligence to progress as a player. We've just got to hope that finally getting the move he's wanted for years really hypes him up and he gives it everything, because he does have the raw ability and pace to cause teams problems.

mozy Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 If he plays on the left I think he'll be class, on the right I think he'll be meh. Still, it's a good signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression most on here were happy with the signing? I do find this forum a bit bi-polar at times. The relegation thread and views on how we've played are extremely up and down. But most forums I have visited are no different overall and it's Newcastle United FFS! The whole fucking club is suffering from some sort of split personality disorder. So it's no surprise it's like that on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2 Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I was very keen on Shelvey. So, we still need: a CB, LB, RB (cover), CM, ST, ST #letsgotransfers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beren Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Townsend is a means to offloading one of our better midfielders. Think we'll try to ship De Jong too. Both Ashley and Levy have played a blinder Levy has sold a name for £12m. Ashley has bought a name to sell to fans ("English, PL experience etc"), got an extra body to justify a disposal of a more valuable asset (probably Sissoko/Gini in the summer), and potentially has a 24 year old English player for resale, bought at his monetary nadir.

So it's no surprise it's like that on here. The general consensus with Shelvey was 'meh', just like Townsend now. I totally get the annoyance and frustration and refusal to accept Ashley's ownership, we all know we won't win fuck all with this set up, so who on earth are we supposed to target!? Shelvey - meh Townsend - meh Gomis - not good enough Lacazette - he won't come here It's frigging mind numbing at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Sissoko is going in the summer, I think we all know that. He's done his bit in the shop window and will be looking to move up. He's not really that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not really that good. I'll be amazed if Townsend can supply anywhere close to the number of assists/potential assists as Sissoko mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
