Even without JR coming to us I hope someone gets him away from us in January.

Oh no. Not sure how we can compete against 2 teams in the top 4...

I'd swap J-Rod for Townsend in a heartbeat.

If J-Rod has any sense about him he will stay at Southampton unless they tell him he's surplus to requirements.

Frankly the only reason J-Rod would come to us is if he is not able to force himself into Southampton's starting line-up.

Would be interested though to see what Koeman - or even Allardyce - could do with Townsend.

Wham maybe. Cant see Southampton being interested. Certainly not as a starting 11 player.

Why would JRod leave a team well set in the top 4, to join a team in the bottom half of the table ?

I bet we finish above Southampton by season end.
And I'm not even an optimistic Spurs fan

er, money?

 

[JonnySpurs]

Come on fellas, just cos we're going through a bit of a tricky patch doesn't mean we've suddenly become a smaller, less desirable club to join than Saints. Form is temporary.

Moreover we know that J-Rod adores Poch so that link up is an easy one to complete I think.

The 3 we are currently playing behind the striker all ideally want to be No 10s which is part of the reason the system/style isn't working. I believe there is a player waiting to be unearthed in Townsend who is an actual winger and I would love to see him get a 6-8 game stint in the league at some point. In my opinion, he hasn't had a fair crack at staking a claim since the injury he suffered last year.
