Conjo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 He hasn´t completed 90 minutes of top flight football in over two years, and has played in what..4 games this season? Wow. We spent £12m and probably £12m more on wages for this part timer. Hes a full timer now though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I hope it is a lack of gametime problem like, he just looks really 1-dementional. That would be my worry. Doesn't look like he's got a trick in him. Pace and that's it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I know everyone has different opinions on players but I really dont understand how anyone thinks Townsend is any good. He must have played 50/60 Premier league games so people must have seen he's no good. Agree with this, seen nothing from him the last 2/3 years to show he's even PL class. Also spurs fans were pissing themselves they got 12m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 He's just Obertan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I know everyone has different opinions on players but I really dont understand how anyone thinks Townsend is any good. He must have played 50/60 Premier league games so people must have seen he's no good. 63 PL appearances in his career, but a total of only 3,176 minutes. So effectively less than 36 full matches.

KaKa Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Leave this poor boy alone. I though he looked quite bright. It was his first game guys, I was actually annoyed hthat he wasn't a bit more aggressive. Seemed to be looking to pass to his team mates a bit too often, almost trying to fit in. He'll be fine.

Foluwashola Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I wasn't massively excited by the signing but some of these posts are way OTT, especially considering how keen most were to give Thauvin a chance. :thup: Would expect him to turn up against WBA's many centre halves.

BrettNUFC Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Sell him back to Spurs under 21's for 8 million. We are getting further and further away from Ben Arfa with every winger we sign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 He was isolated at times but his general awareness was very poor and he didn't function well in the team as a result - although neither did any other fucker. In his case it's totally normal given the lack of competitive football he's played lately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 One skill merchant. That said, I like his aggressiveness in 2nd half. And obviously opponents pay much more respect to him when he is on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Obertan with a beard. Him, Sissoko and Janmaat were marking each other on the right in the 2nd half getting in each others way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimburst Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Was thoroughly unimpressed, to be honest. Won't hold judgement until he's played a few games as I feel he's clearly lacking confidence. He'll get loads of it here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 His powerful left foot is a welcome addition to the team. Swung in a couple of okay-ish free-kicks, despite his no impact performance. A good option to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 The obsession with Obertan on this forum man He was nothing like Obertan for goodness sake! Obertan is scared of his own shadow and is so crippled by fear when he plays that he doesn't even dare to run at people or even attempt to dribble the ball. It's a crazy comparison. This guy had greater urgency and impetus than pretty much everyone else on the team yesterday, and it was his first prem game images! Not to mention his debut for a new club. That in itself should let you know he was the least of our problems. He'll be just fine. Showed he had some guts yesterday at least, when no one else bothered to turn up.
