Zero Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Hold my hands up. No problem for that, glad that l am proven wrong as it means we have chance to survive isnt it? That said, Townsend prior to Rafa is rlly shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heron Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 He's such a winger it's refreshing. A proper one. Totally agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Townsend prior to Rafa is rlly s***. This applies to most of our players, no? But yeah, I'm glad the lad has proven me wrong as well. Was about to rip my hair off at one stage, but decided I didn't want his hairstyle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Don't think I've ever been more wrong about a signing. We'd have been dead and buried without him. Same here, hands held up on this one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Not me. I said from the very beginning that he was a great signing and would be a top player for us.* *may not be true Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ujpest doza Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Aye, I've got to hold my hands up as I thought it was a poor signing but he's been outstanding and that goal he scored today was an absolute beaut, reminded me of one Robert scored against Liverpool from almost exactly the same position. That was Munez. HA!!! I thought about how they'd used that in GOAL !!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I love it when he comes in-field when the play is on the opposite wing, and makes that darting last-man run as Cisse occupies the defenders. It still hasn't quite come off for us yet but I think with time it could become a lethal weapon with his pace and decent finishing to have a run on goal 1 on 1 with the keeper.

Tisd09 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Happy with how it's gone so far. Very encouraging. Very frustrating when he loses it cutting on the inside but like someone said above its likely now and again reap dividends. Hopefully rafa will get to work on him and get him to use it as a feint so he can turn and run into the box on his right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Wasn't keen on the signing and I thought we'd overpaid. Not that it should matter, as it's nice to see us finally spending. But I just couldn't detach myself from HBA leaving on a free and spending about £30m on 3 players, trying to replace him. TBF to Townsend. It didn't take long to change my opinion of him. I thought he looked decent enough against Everton, when the whole team was shit and he was lacking fitness. Then I was very impressed when I saw him live, against WBA. It's a shame he got injured, as he has contributed to what, 6-7 goals since his arrival? If he had stayed fit, then perhaps we would have 2-3 more points? Who knows? Even when he is having a bad game, he runs his bollocks off. He definitely runs into traffic too often and regularly holds onto the ball for too long. But I love his attitude and passion and he seems to have bought into the club. I hope he stays if we go down. He'd light it up for us in the Championship.

TRon Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 The main thing that winds me up is when he attempts to cut inside and loses. But then again, when it works he's likely to score a brilliant goal, so he has to try it a couple of times every game. Yep, it can be really frustrating to watch, and you can understand why Spurs were willing to let him go for that sort of money. Tottenham fans assessment of him has turned out to be on the money, he has lots in his locker, but his decision making is a bit crap at times. That said, he can cross a ball and hit it with both feet, so even though he's never going to be a CL player, he's still a very dangerous wide man for most premier sides.

Marmoset Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 If we are thinking of 442 with Kane and vardy up top you can see why he'd be considered. We've got a lot of good wide forward options if we play 3 in the middle and 3 up top but not many who would be comfortable in a 442. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 He tried, he played fairly well. Fair play to him. Hope the talk in the BBC of a £8m release clause isn't true, but if it is good luck to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
