Seymour Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Townsend had a nice 4-month purple patch here, which he's proved at Palace. Or hes proven it takes time for him to settle into a new team, and that he struggles under poor managers like McClaren and Pardew? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Not really sure how a player, a few years stagnated but with international aspirations, choosing to chance playing for an un-preferential premier league team rather than a relegated one can be called a shitty person. As it turns out he's made the wrong decision, but he probably made the decision that was most likely to allow him to meet his aspirations. I'd have him back, no question. Question is: would he have us back? This is what defines a shitty person if you are a Newcastle fan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Agree, which is why we need to keep Dummett and not sign a new LB. Or we could just sign a new left back with experience of the league and you could stop being a wum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 We really need a winger who's comfortable on the left as Atsu and Ritchie clearly prefer playing on the right, as does Townsend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shayno Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Wouldn't have been opposed to Townsend pre-permanently signing Atsu. We have enough left footed wingers (Ritchie, Atsu, Aarons) and we need some right footed wingers to play on the left of midfield to balance out the squad.

Stottie Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Townsend had a nice 4-month purple patch here, which he's proved at Palace. Just another case of Pardewing I suspect. Under Pardew 1 goal 2 assists in 1183 minutes Under Allardyce 2 goals 4 assists in 1343 minutes Ritchie involved in 10-12 goals on one side and Townsend or someone else involved in 10-12 on the other and we should be comfortably mid table.

Mole_Toonfan Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Pretty much all the CB links so far i'd be very happy with, the midfield and forward links i'm not so sure on. But it's hard to tell whether any of them have any truth to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 They're both at their best on the same side though Grosicki from Hull maybe? Prefer to play on the left, to cut onto his right foot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughesy Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 William Carvalho mentioned AGAIN. Silly season but can ya imagine having that beast in the midfield He seems to be have been linked to pretty much every PL team for the last 3 years. Can't say I've seen much of him - is the fact no-one has bought him yet relevant in any way? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
