[mawspurs]

Townsend and Dawson could find themselves surplus to requirements at White Hart Lane when new boss Mauricio Pochettino holds an expected clear-out this summer

We need to keep an eye on that home grown quota.

I don't expect Townsend to be shipped out u less a great offer comes in. Clearly potential there, who knows how he kicks on?

Daws I'm less fussed about ability wise but his leadership and popularity within the team would make him a useful ally (think this helped AVB too)

 

[wozzahotspurs]

bye & bye

I gather that Poch likes to play a high line too, so Daws, as much as I like him, will struggle again. Time to cash in I think.

Get Townsend using his pace and fitness to compliment the high pressing game we look set to play and he could be very useful.

Dawson, much like with villas-boas 'system', doesn't look like such a good fit.

But who knows. Pochettino might like him.

We can't implement a high line system with the wrong players. Dawson and Townsend both fit that category IMO. Townsend may or may not have potential but I think we should cash in. Doesn't strike me as an intelligent footballer.

Please take Danny Rose Harry!

 

[Pedro]

Probably a good time to cash in on both now. Both generally are overrated so selling now before people realise that they are not all that may be wise. Don't strike me as Poch players, so their value could plummet over the next season.

I do not think Townsend will be sold but 'Arry' can have Dawson and Rose if he likes.

I believe Pochettino can develop Townsend further, it'll be a mistake to let him go. I really can't make my mind up on Dawson, he should not be first choice against top 5 teams but as 3-4 th playing without the high defensive lines I really don't mind Dawson in the squad.

if QPR are to offer above 8.5 M for Dawson yes anything below hmmm

 

[Bennys LOL]

Townsend will be ok .. when Poc gets him fit and chasing down players all game when he does get the ball he'll be too tired to do the 40 step overs and 134 dribbles and he'll put a quality ball in

Any chance we could turn Townsend into a left back?

 

[Oshi]

Unless it is a really good offer for Daws I see no reason to sell hiim.

 

[Paceyjg]

Any chance we could turn Townsend into a left back?

None.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I'd have no problem if both went. Dawson lacks pace and will again be found out playing the high-line, and Townsend is a one trick pony and we already have one of them at the club in Lennon.

Before i get flamed ask yourself how many goals these two have scored from midfield this season? From what i can see it is two (2) PL goals between them.

We need more than just pace if we intend to be successful playing to Poch's system, especially from midfield.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Any chance we could turn Townsend into a left back?

Look to Rose for that answer.

 

[ralvy]

I still think we should keep Dawson, as he's a bit of an specialist against teams that specialize on long ball "tactics".

If an stupidly big offer is given for Townsend, we should take it, but he still could do a job for us. He basically just needs to learn to be less goal oriented to become twice the player he's now, and he still could improve further that if he learns how to cross a ball instead of trying to take 5 defences on himself.

Offer them Dawson and Lennon for 13 million pounds.
