goose2010 Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 down to cost for me less than 10 mill and you have a solid winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Was sent something cryptic by a broker I know who looks after quite a few premier league clubs in terms of insurances. It doesn't tie in perfectly, but this would fit with something I'd been told. I believe any inward movement is contingent upon a departure. Not sure I'm that keen to see Musa or Mahrez leave, as we saw a bit of effort from Musa pre-season. All guesses, by the way. Best to just wait and see I suppose.

The People's Hero Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 ps I thought we were measuring all transfer fees now in 'how many Jeff Schlupps'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Good player, but not enough goals, for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 If he's a Mahrez replacement, it's a no from me. However if he's back up to Mahrez/Albrighton, gerrimin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Gray could surpass him in the future. Then again Townsend is only 26 and hasn't reached his peak yet either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 5 year contract... signed for £13 million. He's not going to be cheap is he??? A little worrying that De Boer is happy to get rid straight away, I know he is building his own system but he hasn't signed any wingers yet.

mod hero Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Don't think I've seen him play on left before always on the right cutting in. Mahrez must be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Loves a speculative shot - but if he's happy to knuckle down and work to our system, I think he could have his uses. Not necessarily as a starter every game... and would possibly upset Gray or indicate Mahrez is gone. More likely (and hopefully) its more of a 'just in case'?

Ricey Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 We need another winger, even before potential Mahrez and Musa departures, and Townsend has proven to be an effective Premier League winger. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenTheFox Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 I'd be up for this. If we could get a tune out of him he'd be a very good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Agree with earlier comment by the way that he was over-rated for a long time, but the pendulum has possibly swung back too far. I think he's a confidence player who needs understanding team mates and the right system around him. He will need to show really good work ethic and energy here, but I do think it could work.

LinekersApples Posted 11 August 2017 Share Posted 11 August 2017 Classic foxestalk. People upset at signing England international. Better than: Lloyd Dyer, Jeff Schlupp, Ahmed Musa. Remember how far we've come and welcome our new player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not one of those that needs the news first and now, just interested in terms of how this possibly affects our position on Mahrez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was quality for England a few years back. If we can get him playing near that level we'll have a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have switched manager though. Possibly just doesn't fit de Boer's favoured shape/style/system. de Boer will also want to free up wages etc to stamp his own authority on his squad so I wouldn't necessarily read too much in to it.

Yh I said something similar above just covering all bases, I think De Boer will pack the middle to help him play passing football 'the dutch way' so could just be that.
