He is our most important player now by a distance. Hopefully he can keep that up. I always fear that an England call up in these situations only affects his club performances in a bad way but its all about his mentality and how he copes with the fame. In that sense I hope he learnt a lot from Bale in the time they trained together.
Have to admit I really wrote him off ever making it at spurs just over a year ago. Hopefully I'm just as wrong about Townsend
I don't remember many believing he will be our number one striker... Including me.
