Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 I like him. He’d do a good job for us.

STUHILL Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 He is a decent Premier League player but nothing more really. He's another Albrighton type, where you know what you're going to get, and what you aren't each week. I think it's an OK signing, but only if the fee is right. This is why it is so important we aren't seen spending £40-50m on players like Dunk as who knows what kind of price Palace would put on Townsend!

coolhandfox Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Better than Ghezzal and Gray, all depends on the price for me.

Thanks mate, I think we need a proper Mahrez replacement now, Townsend averages 0.11 goals per game https://www.premierleague.com/players/3724/Andros-Townsend/stats
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Strengthens the 18 if not the first 11. If we're genuine about a top 6 push then we need a stronger bench than we have now.
Ted Maul Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 No ta, we've got enough average wingers- the whole point is that we need someone who is clearly better than Gray and Albrighton.

If we're genuine about a top 6 push then we need a stronger bench than we have now. Surely we should be signing someone who strengthens the first 11 and whoever drops out of the team will strengthen the bench. Palace will no doubt want good money for him.
STUHILL Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Just now, coolhandfox said: Better than Ghezzal and Gray, all depends on the price for me. Agreed. Doubt Palace will give us any favours there though. He still has 2 years left on his contract and I imagine they have little desire to sell. Played every game for them over last 2 seasons. I was really hoping this £30-50m winger rumour was true and we were going for a Tielemans type wide player to really complete our exciting starting 11.

Dahnsouff Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Time to fess up @LinekersApples - is the 30-50m winger target touted, Townsend? .
Ricey Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 An upgrade on Gray, Ghezzal and Albrighton. I just hope it doesn't mean Barnes getting less game time.

North Leeds Fox Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 That would be a very disappointing signing after all the hype of a big player coming in. Can understand why we like him as he is a slight upgrade on what we have but losing maguire and getting townsend pretty much evens out our team and doesn't improve us.

I think he also give us more balance in the playing staff, we have a lot of young players, some extra experience would be useful. He has out performed all of our wide men interms of goals and assist last season, and has a great work rate.
Ric Flair Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 I think he'd do ok here, my worry like with any domestic transfer is whether the cost involved is even remotely worth it. He is another player who is of an age where it's unlikely he is going to be off the planet in terms of improvement, even under Rodgers so paying more than £20-25m is needless. I thought we prided ourselves on scouting thoroughly and finding players with vast potential or who can make an immediate impact and continue improving. I get the feeling our transfer strategy this summer is to try and minimize any risk of the unknown and focus domestically. It wouldn't be the worst signing in the world but there's massively better prospects out there both domestically or abroad. I could do a list, I love lists.

surrifox Posted 17 July 2019 Posted 17 July 2019 Another transfer window another load of rumour and speculation about Townsend .
