Just told by very good source that Andros Townsend is fully fit. Just not selected. #THFC

Townsend more likely to Saints IMO. If any deal was in place involving Remy he'd be similar to Townsend today.

A reasonable thought, but QPR have much less weapons at their disposal so I wouldn't rule it completely out.

 

[ButchCassidy]

If Townsend goes I want a buy back clause, still feel that with a year or two of good coaching he could be really decent.

Townsend, Lennon, rose, mason are all staying or we will not fill our home grown quota

You mean our scapegoat quota? From the sounds of his thread Welbeck may be able to replace them all on that front.

@Matt_Law_DT: Pochettino confirms Townsend was fit today, just not selected in Tottenham's squad

Bloody hell. Poch takes no prisoners.

Cant select every player doesnt mean theres a reason for it, He had Holtby and Lennon on the bench if one of those hadnt been picked and Andros was would that mean they were getting sold? We have a big squad they cant all get picked every match. I guess he will get a start on Thursday

I'd go even further than that and say potch has his squads lined up for the next few games

See Chadli is more effective. I'd sell AT asap

 

[kernowspurscoach1977]

I think the system poch plays with no direct out and out white on your boots winger will see chadli flourish… he has good technical ability and a good link player with other team mates. The system suits him eriksen tend lamela perfectly

 

[Mr Pink]

If we get a really good offer from Southampton I would sell.

I like him of course, he's one of us, but I just don't see him fitting the system at all given the way he plays. He's just not ever going to be one of these players who can mix it up ie...knowing when to be direct and when to get his head up and look for the pass.

There's just no signs of this changing.

And if this helps us get MS, its a complete no brainer for me. Levy will over value him and inflate his price which helps us achieve value with MS by offsetting it.

 

[danielneeds]

As much as I think there is a player in Andros. Include him in the deal for Morgan, sign Wellbeck and I think we're far better balanced.

 

[Bofbro]

Morgan counts as homegrown

 

[newbie]

Morgan counts as homegrown

I didn't realise, I would be surprised if we signed a player for 27 million when Bentalab is a younger version, and it's been off and on so many times now and we need a CB more than anything.

 

[WiganSpur]

I still think there's something in Andros but after Chadli's performance today it's going to be very hard for him to get back in now.

£6m and Andros for MS hopefully we've got a deal then bring in Welbeck or JRod for £12m or so. We could probably raise the rest of the money by selling Sandro and one of Vlad or Kaboul if Poch thinks Fazio is sufficient. Personally i'd much rather it was Kaboul.

Wouldn't mind us entertaining offers for Lennon as well and bringing in a left footer to replace him. Another creative player perhaps?

 

[kernowspurscoach1977]

I have said before and I say it again any offer over 10 million and snap their hands off for AT. Don't think we need welbeck, get MS as part of the deal. I seriously doubt AT has what it takes. Sell him while his stock his high. Use him as a make weight. For those of you who say bentelab is a younger version of MS maybe, he is but he is one for 3-4 years time not today. Against the top midfielders he has/will get bossed and owned and this will cost us goals/points, get MS in play him in all games against top teams and pick and choose to keep him as fresh as we can. Play bentelab against weaker teams, cup games etc.

 

[LiamJM10]

Honestly would loan Andros away for a season. Too much potential to let him go.

 

[kernowspurscoach1977]

Very few 23 year olds have potential most 23 year olds are established or not reached their potential , the latter is the bracket I would put A T in. Has small flashes of excellence but will never show consistency
