Saint Charlie Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 Would prefer to spend the money on a starting RB and push Clyne further forward. Why? Clyne is a great right back. Leave him where he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 That could be the plan if the Gonzalez rumours are true. They'd be able to interchange too. Looks a decent player but he's getting on a bit. The likes of Man City could afford to pay £8m for a 29-year old utility player, but not sure we can. Should be looking for players aged below 25 IMO, already spent a lot of money on two over 27. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JxgrSaint Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 hahaha - cant believe people are saying Townsend isnt good enough or worth 10m. Embarrassing.

We play 433 with fullbacks used to provide width. Are you suggesting that Clyne should be part of a midfield 3 or on the right and off the striker?

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 Exactly, I mean why wouldn't everyone rate an attacker with 3 premier league goals ever. His 1 Spurs goal in the premier league was a cross that went in by accident. 10 clubs already, 23 years old. If anyone can get him playing well it's Pochetinno but wouldn't be surprised at all if he'd prefer to sell him. Seems an odd one to me. If Pochetinno intends to play the same way at Spurs as he did here, I wouldn't have thought Townsend was his sort of player. AT is an out-and-out winger. Head down, get to the by-line put in a cross/or cut-in and spank it vaguely in the direction of the goal. When it comes off it looks good and every one is impressed - and it came off in a high profile game for England, once - therefore he must be amazing. Oh an he is quick of course. This just doesn't seem to fit in with Poch's style, I wouldn't have thought. He is too direct, and too prone to giving the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is Ok but cant get into the Spurs side, and we are considering paying 10m!!! Thats it plant the seed of 10m and then come Jan he will be part of a swap deal.

Jez Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 I have not rated Townsend and his style of football since he came to prominence, and would be gutted if after slating him and mocking him for ages, we now signed him. Just not the way I want to see football played! And for £10m..... hugely overpriced (all imo of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 Djamel Belmadi? Very talented player but is 38 now and the Manager of Qatar so will be hard to lure him back. Ings price won't rocket because he is out of contract next summer. If anything, it will fall. It would be great to see him again if only to recreate probably the best sale of a dummy ever seen at SMS (sadly I cant remember the Oppo's right now), but one minute the lad is defending his wing when Belmadi makes him an offer he can't refuse, and a split second later the poor lad is metaphorically standing under the Bargate in a state of confusion as to how he ended up there!

Saint Charlie Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 A team needs allsorts. We didnt have anyone yesterday who gained yards with the ball and actually committed defenders. We would certainly be a more dangerous team if we did have someone of that ilk. I'm slightly confused as to why Townsend is treated with such distain yet many mention Redmond as a great option.

Killers Knee Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 Why? Clyne is a great right back. Leave him where he is. Yes, and Bale was a great left back. I think Clyne would be a great attacking wideman, he can certainly beat his man, not scared to go past defenders or get to the line, has a good cross, has a good shot, great vision. The above reasons are probably why I'm not a Footy Manager but if we are looking for a wide right attacking player I don't think we need to look much further, we just need someone to fill the RB slot.
