Shance Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 An England international but a Spurs reserve. Wouldn't pay £14m, but I do rate him. I think he gets too much stick tbh. Like I said, he's not great just that his style would offer us something different that we need. He's being kept out by Eric Lamela in all fairness, who is a fantastic player.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 21 January, 2016 Share Posted 21 January, 2016 I think there's a good player there in Townsend but not at £14m. Would rather get Matt Phillips for half that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 22 January, 2016 Share Posted 22 January, 2016 I've never thought that Townsend was as bad as some make out. Or have I just seen glimpses of him doing well and most the time he is that bad?? But the price. It seems, regardless of how long there is left on the contract, to have remained at £14m for the past 18 months. Levy might get it, as there is a lot of craziness going on, but I hope not.

simo Posted 22 January, 2016 Author Share Posted 22 January, 2016 I know he's had a falling out but Levy is treating Townsend like **** , £14m sale only no loans no one will touch him at that imo and he wont play at Spurs so it could severely damage his career and he can kiss goodbye to a place in the England squad for the Euros!

angelman Posted 22 January, 2016 Share Posted 22 January, 2016 (edited) One day someone is going to sue for restraint of trade or maybe constructive dismissal (although with that, there has to be a contractual breach). Or maybe another Bosman type court case, and to be honest, if I was Townsend, then Levy controlling my life and future through a contract and buggering it about due to excessive/unrealistic demands, I would seriously consider looking at legal action.

Mallagroth Posted 23 January, 2016 Share Posted 23 January, 2016 i think the fact that Townsend has not put in a transfer request, kicked off, got legal assistance, or earned his way back in says more than enough about him and/or his representatives to stick well clear.

Well it will certainly be a brave new world, in football terms, when players can just give a months notice and move to another club at anytime of the year and with no transfer window a lot of clubs are going to be screwed financially. Mind you it would be the death of agents so it's not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 24 January, 2016 Share Posted 24 January, 2016 (edited) from Post #10 on this thread Charlie Austin ffs Not on loan, Buy the man. he is a southerner, at a club where he does not want to be in a league where he does not want to be, contract up in 6 months. get him on the f-ing bus For me, it's an absolute no-brainer. Our finishing through the whole side is terrible. Too many decent chances being missed. Charlie Austin would be the obvious buy. A right back and try and get Redmond from Norwich ? Absolutely. Saints, show some intent to stop the increasing discontent and get the man in to turn this season around and stomach the cost. maybe koeman just playing it dow for the obvious, or he WAS too expensive then? Koeman has said that Austin is too expensive. who knew Charlie Austin 8 mill, just what we need ;) If I was a betting man.... He already said him and his agent did everything possible to keep it quiet. Unless this was before our interest came in Austin just said in an interview he is not leaving in January. Has to be austin Pelle is terrible at the mo. A big factor in why we are not scoring. It's a no brainer. Austin is out of contract in July and reportedly on circa £38k per week. His goals would shoot us up the league and the extra place money would go a long way to covering the cost. Because we sure as hell aren't scoring now and Rodriguez has a long way back when medically fit. The talk of him not moving in January and running his contract out makes sense but an offer that covers that and gives QPR something won't be dismissed out of hand, especially if he wants to go to Euro 2016, he really has to be scoring in the Premier League. errr We'd have some competition for him IMO, proven prem goalscorers are valuable commodities and QPR won't let him go for less than £10M or even £15M as was quoted earlier on in the season. I'd like him though, he knows where the net is and is too good for the champ. yep Nailed on signing then ;-) . nope Only in people's minds on here. In reality if we sign someone it will probably be someone more unknown on loan... agree Austin is a natural goal scorer and a very hard worker. He is a better finisher than anyone we have at the club, and would improve our first team. Even £8m would be a steal, and not unreasonable for us looking at our £5m purchases. Austin is such a great buy. excellent start to his saints career Edited 24 January, 2016 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deal is expected to prompt the departure of former Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis from the Liberty Stadium. Palace broke their club record when they brought Gayle to Selhurst Park from Peterborough for £6m in July 2013.
