Ince has a higher ceiling. Townsend has more prem experience but im not sure that he's a better player. Ince was the best player in the championship last season (he was even better than Zaha). There's a reason that only Spurs supporters think that Townsend is better than Ince.... we tend to overrate our own homegrown players. And this is not even taking into account Townsend's own feelings. It sounds like he really wants to move on and get guaranteed first team football, like Caulker.In what way? Townsend is only half a year older than Ince but has more experience and is proven in the Premier League. Going by the prices bandied about that Blackpool would want for Ince (and considering there would be enough clubs interested in him to drive that up even further) we'd be making a loss on the exchange.
If we can get 6m or so for Townsend (with a good sell on clause) and pay 8m for Ince I personally would be happy with that.
