I think too much was made out of that incident with the fitness coach. Had there not been photos of that incident it would not have been much of a big deal - but the press made a meal out of it. Players clash with staff and team mates all the time.
Don't think so just ask Ade Lennon Capoue and Kabul
Nothing in the press but they got booted.

Nothing in the press?! Where have yoiu been living? It was no secret that Lennon had an attitude problem (plenty of pics of him being wasted), nor was it a secret about Kaboul's fall out. He also fell out with Juande. And there was also plenty of stuff about Capoue.
It's been reported by ITK several times that Andros has not developed as hoped for.

Good luck to the guy, at 24 he needs to be playing regularly. He wasn't one of my favourites, but I think he could go on and become a good player somewhere.

Got any links to those press reports?

So the Lennon one is the mail ( seriously ) from when he was already on loan and the kaboul one is a fan site. Not exactly unimpeachable stuff

You di not ask me for all the links. I sent you one. There were several incidents a few years back, and ITK hinted that due to his attitude he hasn't improved the way he should etc etc. There was one incident with Andros as well. Besides, he was still a Spurs player when this happened despite of him being out on loan.

Think he will do really well elsewhere and maybe get on that plane for the Euro's, shame it hasn't worked out for him here, good luck to the kid, he is one of our own.

Hope the news about Newcastle isn't true. They're throwing money around at the moment, so it'd be disappointing if they pulled out.

Actually think Palace would suit him better than anywhere else.
Palace would be obligated to install netting behind the goals. It's a danger to have Bolasie and Townsend on the wings.

Realistically though, I think he'd fit in better at Watford. I think his reliance on pace is made for a 442. He would also most definitely start over Abdi. I don't know if he'd immediately start over Zaha or Bolasie.

Forgot about Zaha - although he's very hit and miss isn't he?

But yes the 4-4-2 at Watford would work with him on the left crossing for the two up top.

Crossing..? Assume you meant cutting in and blazing the ball into row Z whilst Ighalo and Deeney roll their eyes and throw their arms in the air.

Interesting.

BBC now reporting Toon are dropping out of the race because of the 14m valuation.
Levy = Jeremy Peace. Two of a kind. 14m for Townsend and 30m for Berahino? WTF? Both need reality check. No wonder we cannot make a deal with West Brom.
