I think the discussion on Townsend and is he good enough for our squad can move over to Spurs Chat
I'm sorry, but what difference do the smilies make?I'm basing my opinion of both players purely upon what they've achieved in the game. There is around 18 months difference in their ages, yet one has clearly achieved significantly more than the other. Not only that, as I've already stated (asked), one is being used in various positions in one of the most exciting and gifted young International squads in world football, the other has amassed 17 top flight games in his whole career to date. I'd suggest there's a reason for that? That's all I'm getting at
ps, apologies for not responding until now, I was finally being discharged from hospital & making my way home. Now I can finally use smilies to show expression & hopefully point out I'm not being a dick
I'm sorry, but what difference do the smilies make?
It also makes no sense as villa are just as capable of paying in installments as we are.That makes no sense? Why would they need the money upfront for a replacement, that's implying they are going to fork out around the £20 million mark... Would anyone even go to them who is valued at that sort of money?

Well, I think you're a dick = A demonstration that I'm just pulling your pisser!!
Whereas, I think you're a dick. = Easily construed as a statement of fact.
Though I guess I shouldn't be surprised that you were the one who needed that explaining
Has he not done that with Tom Carroll? He made 14 appearances for us last season, I'd suggest that AVB will happily give youngsters a chance, IF they're good enough. As has been mentioned on here a few times now, how many members of this site wanted us to get Sahin, and were then pissed off with AVB because he (Sahin) ended up at Liverpoo? How many of those pissed off members of this site have since come out & said "I'm now happy to go along with AVB's judgement when it comes to a player"? I think pretty much all of those people have happily admitted they were wrong.
So my point is, IF Townsend (or any other youngster) isn't going to be given a chance by AVB, I'd suggest there's a perfectly good reason for it?
Sahin played in his true position may well have made a greater impact
Fair enough, really odd one tho especially after Barca just loaned out Deulofeu, you would think that AVB would at least choose players that are to some degree or other available for purchase. I would love Alexis but so really, really not going to happen.just saying AVB's list...........never said they were realistic in anyway
If we sell Townsend I am done with football.

Not when I watched him he didn't, maybe there was a language problem as he himself bemaoned that Rodgers played him as an amSahin played the DM role in liverpool........ Actually even mourinho didn't rate him at first when Perez bought sahin to madrid.......... He is basically hyped player !! Now gundogan played in his position and sahin became the benchwarmer...
Firstly I have watched Carroll a lot live since he signed for Leyton and luckily when he moved to Derby I saw him week in week out. If were judging players on their performances from loans he wouldn't be a starter.Has he not done that with Tom Carroll?

I'm not slating him & I'd appreciate it if you didn't question my support. The boy has never shown me anything to make me think he offers anything other than pace. He scores 1 long range shot for QPR and is voted their player of the season, despite playing less than a third of their fixtures. I believe that's nothing to do with how well he did, buy more about how crap the rest of the players played.
Ok where to start?Remember, you're talking about a team who's manager said "we badly missed Ryan Nelsen when he left".
I think it's obvious where Townsend features in the mind of AVB, due to the fact that he could have recalled him any time he wanted but preferred to stick Holtby, Sigurdsson, Dempsey & even Dembele out wide. He's clearly not going to get a look-in before any of the 4 players I just mentioned, which is why I believe he may as well be moved on.
I'd be annoyed if we sold Townsend. I think he has shown some good potential and I like that he has variety to his game. He can beat a man, go on the outside and get a cross in or cut inside and has a good shot on him (and with both feet). I see him as the ideal understudy for Bale in the Right sided forward role, signing someone to play on the left shouldn't impact on Townsends role in my opinion.
