England team

Hopefully Saints might still be willing to drop £10-15m on himCan someone tell me one club that's gonna buy Townsend??? Cod I can't think of one
Where is this Townsend sale stuff coming from, can't see him going anywhere. Bounced Lamela out the team and doing 'ok' a the minute, why all the rumours?
Townsend is bang (BANG) average. Only gets in our side because he's got pace. We need rid of him and get some players are are both technically great and blisteringly quick. Reckon he's scored more penalties for us than goals from open play.
Sure he's had a few good games for us, but he's old enough now to be far more consistent.

You'll get battered for thatHmm, sounds fishy to me too!
I'll get my coat.

With reports we'll pay Ade's wages to loan him out, we may as well release him a long with Kaboul.
I can see us taking a small hit but still getting reasonable money for Vlad and Capoue.
Funds coming in for the likes of Lennon and Townsend would be a bonus and very welcome as we'll get arse raped over Soldado and Paulinho. Selling the likes of Townsend will go a long way to helping us break even.
Well I hope your support for our players continues into next season.
Releasing them would mean paying off their contracts. It may be better economically to loan out for the remainder of the contract and pay a percentage of the wages.

As THFC told THST we are looking to be buying youngish players in the £10-15mil bracket in the same way we bought Berba Bale, Eriksen and Modric etc. In the past we have moved for these players one a time(because that is what budgets have allowed). From what I understand though if we can get the wage bill reduced to accommodate them, there would be no reason for us not to pick up 3 or 4 players in this bracket at one time. Perhaps if we can bring a good crop through together they might just see a reason to hang around? Instead of leaving because they are the stand out players for the club and know at best they will only be replaced.
Reducing the wage bill has EVERYTHING to do with this summer. It's imperative we get Ade, Capoue, Kaboul, Lennon, Paulinho, Bobby, and Vlad off the wage bill. That would probably free up £300k/wk at the very least! This is a time when Levy shouldnt haggle over the fees as hard as usual. Get them off.a little bit from trix..

The wage thing has been backed up by others, if I am not mistaken. But agents do typically have at least an idea of clubs budgets. Also, doesnt he get some info from the poch side of things?Not knocking trix but doesn't he get his info from his agent mates? How would they know what our budget is?

Years ago £10-15m would get you the likes of Berbatov and Modric, these days it will get your distinctly average players from around Europe. If we're willing to spend some money I would rather we pillage the championship of their young talent (Hughes (Derby), Mowatt (Leeds), Redmond (Norwich), Bryam (Leeds), Wilson (Bournemouth) etc.
