Still can't believe we didn't shift him off at the start of the 14/15 season when people still wrongly believed he was good at football.

Quite clearly not going to get much time and the episode a few weeks ago has surely pushed him further down the order.
Young, English international....got to be in excess of £12m surely?

Time for him to take his career forward somewhere else imo. He has talent but he doesn't fit into this team or the team ethic. Wish him good luck wherever he ends up.

A few years ago we'd have wanted double this but given the way he's been frozen out his price has fallen. I think Newcastle would be getting a bargain but sadly I think he needs to move for his own good. Maybe we can get 9 or if we're lucky 10, I just hope we can get a new striker in with whatever we get for him.

Have you been saying that for years and are you at last vindicated? Can he really not play football? You're such an unpleasant windbag.

Andros does need to move on and good luck to him.

His stats are shocking if you ignore peno's scored (even if you don't actually) . He'll never achieve anything unless he adds goals and assists to his game on a regular basis.

Given that he'll never play on a regular basis for us then he has to go to give his career a chance. I hope Levy will accept lower money because of it cos Andros has always put the effort in.

There's absolutely no need for one spurs community member to talk to another like that. None at all.

I can't agree with this- there have been many times he's looked like he's not bothered. Maybe he was under instructions to perform (or not) certain things I don't know. Time for him to move on- The Euros are next summer and if he wants to go there then he'll have to play more and this means move club

I agree but the market price for English Internationals
even young ones
has been somewhat devalued lately.
They're not quite ten a penny
but.we might get ten million for one.

He must be causing a lot of unrest at the club, as for me, I would have kept him an impact player. I would have liked to have seen him AND Song come on yesterday against Newcastle. Crystal Palace show what you can do with 2 pacey widemen. He's probably only on about £20 a week as well... is their much between him and Nje from what we've seen so far?

I think 12m should be the fee. Also think his personality suits the inconsistent yearly performance style of Newcastle.

Fine if he moves on. Delighted if he takes the boots he's recently been lending to Son with him.

His type of player is an option we need. However, he does not have the consistency we require. Move him out and bring in someone Poch will be happy to use.
