CWD Posted 25 February, 2012 Share Posted 25 February, 2012 What do you think? It seems unlikely that he's gonna play much between now and the end of the season, and Redknapp is hardly likely to be happy that he's not even making the 16 every week. I'm happy to have him in the squad, but I think the lad himself might owe to himself to think about heading back. I doubt he would have been signed had we known how the Punch situation was going to pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 I dunno, if I were him I'd be determined to force my way in. I thought he'd been dropped due to.injury. A lot of games as the season draws to a close, I'm sure we will see him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour Mash Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Depends how he's mixing in during training, U21s games, how much of his wages we're paying, what the original agreement with Spurs in terms of involvement is.........basically, none of us know.

CWD Posted 26 February, 2012 Author Share Posted 26 February, 2012 hmmmm...a spanish U21 player from Juventus who has not long been signed by spurs waiting in back up...... yes, lets get rid ffs I clearly said that I'd prefer to keep him in the squad. I just wonder if it's the best thing for him personally. He's been sent here to get used to English football, so far he's only had about an hour! Every one of your posts seems to be sarcastic and intended to make others look stupid, it was just a question for discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 if we are paying him serious wages I'd be inclined to let him go back. He can't play on the left side and IMO Reeves looked a better player and he'd one of ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobM Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 If he really is as good as people say, he will be useful to have around the training ground if nothing else. If he then has a chance to play for us, it's another hopefully decent option to have. My only concern is introducing new players into the team and into our playing style at this stage in the season.

SNSUN Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 He'll have a part to play yet. We need every player for the run in, and we haven't seen the best of him yet. He can't be costing us much in wages surely, so he's a minimal risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 I have one concern....22 years old and he has only played 1 first team league game and that was for us. Apart from 3 cup games for Spurs all other games have been reserve or academy He may have skill but he failed to demonstrate any impact at SMS. He looked comfortable on the ball but nothing flowed from it. He has a reputation of skill but easily knocked off the ball. I think Spurs let him come here to toughen him up in Championship football but we cannot afford the luxury of playing him. He is way down the pecking order but he is here until the end of the season. I am assuming Spurs are paying him but that we have agreed a loan fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming Spurs are paying him but that we have agreed a loan fee. I think he has to complete the first month on loan then is able to return. Never mind the one poor match, there has been a month of assessment in training and there is no sign that he has overtaken, Guly or DeRidder who aren't in the frame at the moment. This week we have Lee out, Lallana doubtful, Lambert a question mark, if he doesn't get a mention It will probably mean that he isn't required. As far as I'm concerned I'd keep him until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 This week we have Lee out Why? Japan play Uzbekistan on Wednesday. He can be back for Saturday. Also not sure what Lee and Lambert's availability have to do with Falque who is a midfielder. If Lallana is out then I guess he could be a better option than Puncheon on the left. Anyway I thought he was injured, or at least has been. He did look lightweight when he made his debut, got knocked off the ball to easily, but clearly has great skill.

merrimd Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Doesn't take much for us to need him. Couple of injuries. He's clearly talented, and I'd love him to get a game to shut up the idiots judging him on 50 minutes in our worst team performance of the season. Just don't think we'd anticipated puncheon being back. He, Lallana, Chaplow, Guly and SDR make for some immense competition. I'd more disappointed SDR isn't getting on the bench.

derry Posted 26 February, 2012 Share Posted 26 February, 2012 Can't see him back until Thursday or Friday afternoon. That's a lot of flying and time change in four days. Physically not in the same class as Puncheon and certainly not at Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one respect you seem to make the same mistake as the club made when bringing Tommy Forecast here from Spurs. You could imagine that Spurs saw something in him as well, but you'll need a lot of imagination. Just like us they have had a lot of mediocre talent at times.

Clifford Nelson Posted 27 February, 2012 Share Posted 27 February, 2012 (edited) Apart from his game at SMS, who has actually seen him play before we arrived here? Did he set the world alight? Was he amazing? I keep sticking my neck out about this chap because I am very suspicious about 22 year olds who haven't managed to establish themself to play for any first team they have signed for.

Big_Bald_Si Posted 27 February, 2012 Share Posted 27 February, 2012 I'm not sure there's even a decision that can be made. Player's signed until the end of the season are generally on a contract where they can't be recalled/sent back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvaughanwilliams Posted 27 February, 2012 Share Posted 27 February, 2012 It depends on how much we're paying, how well he is fitting in to the team's playing style in training and how many positions in midfield he can cover. If we picked up a couple of injuries, then he could be a useful player to have. His presence may be improving other players' performances as an additional competitor for a place. If he's not too expensive and he clearly isn't being treated preferentially, I can't see the problem with him being here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is nothing in this article that actually suggests journalism or journalistic standards. What are their sources? Who has said this? All they did was write one line (Saints are hoping to keep the player) and the rest of that is background. If anyone believes this then I have some beautiful waterfront land to sell you.

Clifford Nelson Posted 29 February, 2012 Share Posted 29 February, 2012 I repeat: Has anybody actually seen this bloke play apart from his appearance at SMS? It is something about this loan which doesn't sit right for me and makes me worried. Is there a possible other deal in it if we're not going up, for instance? Like one of our players joining Spurs and we're keeping Falque? All my concerns about him is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
