Odear Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Could we not just sell Atsu instead. He’s a waste of space in comparison to Ritchie. Although if he does leave I wish him the very best. He did well for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Even if Townsend and/or Kenedy is/are brought in? We need Kenedy in just to not be worse off than the second half of last season. Not particularly arsed about Townsend either way tbh. Same - don't get why Rafa would be interested in him - I don't rate him at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Because he played really well under him here 2 years ago He was average at best. He was one our best players during his short time here. I am somewhat underwhelmed by his potential return , but he clearly improved us when he was here last time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I don't get the ambivalence to Townsend like, he was great for us and is absolutely perfect for Rafa. He's a fair way better than Ritchie as much as I love that cheeky little toerag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinport53 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 He was so distinctly average nobody was bothered when he left to join Pardew. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaus Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I think it is more the fact that he didn’t really want to be here last time, and probably would only come back here if he had no other options. I could be wrong about that, I am only speculating but it’s the feeling I get towards him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I remember Rafa saying something that suggested Townsend was the one who he really wanted to say, and basically had no animosity towards him when he left. Interview or something on nufc.co.uk I think. He's tried to get him like 3 windows in a row now, I just cannot get why people wouldn't actively want him to sign a player like that who he obviously really likes.

Guest reefatoon Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I think he did want to be here and was giving his all to keep us up. He just didn’t want to drop into the championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did well for us. I think if stoke offered us £15m for atsu we’d sell him. Why would they though? Not saying they are interested, but surely some club would take him for 7 or 8 million. I’d rather put that towards any move for another player rather than lose such a reliable player like Ritchie. Murphy on the other hand was starting to show signs of things clicking, he could well go on to have a good season. I see him playing as a forward though. The lad can finish, has the pace to play off the shoulder of defenders. Rafa will figure out what to do with him hopefully. I think he has more potential than all of our current or linked with wingers with the exception of Kenedy. Having a decent striker if we ever get one will take the pressure off our existing players. I’m hoping Rafa is trying to do things on the cheap now so that we can bid big for one proper striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duo Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Because he played really well under him here 2 years ago He was average at best. He wasn't like. He was our best player under Rafa. Scored a couple of games on the bounce nothing outstanding. Not done much for Palace either. He got 2 goals last season - 2 for an attacking midfielder that's poor. Lascelles scored more. They've Zaha to thank for staying up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 He's a winger, and he also had 7 assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
