Fenham Mag Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Off to Lisbon http://4c2lgc59e181vuma1n9bmo1c.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/assets/Andros-Townsend-Sporting-Lisbon-Record-457x879.png https://twitter.com/DogLayer/status/734829290982936577?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw Pretty sure that's Faro airport, not Lisbon.

fgsilva Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 If he came for Sporting it will be the biggest signing for them. In Portugal the reports said that he will came for a loan and Newcastle will support their wage. I hope that this isn't true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

O extremo, de 24 anos, viajou ontem para Lisboa, tendo por objetivo discutir um acordo com os leões, confirmou Record junto de fonte conhecedora do processo. À imagem de Boateng ou Van Wolfswinkel, o sucesso da operação dependerá em grande medida do contacto direto com Townsend, que estava concentrado com a seleção de Inglaterra e deverá regressar amanhã a Terras de Sua Majestade. Townsend transferiu-se do Tottenham para o Newcastle, em janeiro, e pode agora chegar a Alvalade por empréstimo, o cenário com maiores probabilidades de viabilizar o negócio, uma vez que a aquisição a título definitivo acarretaria um investimento bem mais avultado do que tem sido regra no Sporting, quer na compra propriamente dita quer depois no que toca ao ordenado. O atacante custou 15 milhões de euros ao clube do norte de Inglaterra e tem um ordenado que ascende a 4 milhões de euros por época, um patamar muito acima do que é praticado pela SAD do Sporting. Valorização É por isso que a tentativa de resgatar Townsend só deverá ser possível por via de cedência, com o Newcastle a suportar boa parte do salário. Há, no entanto, um ‘aliado’ extra para os leões e que se prende com o facto de os magpies, de Rafa Benítez, terem descido de divisão. A queda para o Championship obriga o Newcastle a repensar o orçamento para a nova época e a fazer um esforço para blindar a cotação dos seus principais jogadores. A oportunidade de jogar a Liga dos Campeões, o que seria uma estreia, é um argumento a favor da valorização de Townsend, que poderia ajudar a compensar o elevado investimento. De resto, Townsend tem um longo histórico de empréstimos: já passou por nove e o Sporting pode ser o 10º da carreira. Rumores colocados ontem a circular especulavam em torno de um eventual envolvimento de Slimani na operação. Certo, por enquanto, é que Townsend está na agenda do Sporting... embora a posição de extremo não seja de reforço prioritário. Chegar não significa ficar Andros Townsend não é o primeiro jogador a chegar a Lisboa sem acordo total . No verão passado, por exemplo, ficaram célebres as passagens... fugazes de Kevin-Prince Boateng e Ricky van Wolfswinkel. Boateng, médio ganês reconhecido pelo seu talento mas também pela... excentricidade, veio a Portugal para negociar contrato, tendo o acordo falhado devido a problemas físicos e a desencontro de ideias sobre direitos de imagem. Quase em simultâneo, falhou o regresso de Wolfswinkel. O avançado holandês também esteve em Lisboa, mas, segundo informou o Sporting, exigiu aumento de verbas, tendo Bruno de Carvalho cancelado negociações. Em janeiro, os leões vetaram o avançado Diagne, após dias de intensas negociações em Alvalade." In sumary, its talk about a loan because Newcastle wish to value Townsend and Sporting is in Champions League. It also speak about Slimani but it is only a rumour, I guess.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Just seems like random speculation. He surely wouldn't be thick enough to go on loan for the year we really, really need him I would hate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 'Bossing Lit Porn' is an anagram is of Sporting Lisbon, which I believe is what the kids these days say to describe sexy football. Townsend plays sexy football, coincidence? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 The way he's been talking about Benitez, I'd be very surprised if he leaves. I mean, I severely doubt he's going to SCP, and he's probably not going anywhere, but CMON MAN. Footballer! Footballer who has been here for 6 months! Please try and remember that.
