Andros Townsend

[saintant]

It seems Spurs are willing to sell Andros Townsend. Thought he looked superb for QPR last season and might be worth a punt.

[StDunko]

Agree that he seems a talent on the pitch, but was it him that got a fine for breaking gambling rules? If so perhaps not the brightest spark off the field.

[OldNick]

Very one footed,not PL. standard IMO

[saints_is_the_south]

Thought he was one of QPR's brighter sparks last season, always looked good whenever I saw him. Made a mistake with the gambling thing, but who doesn't make mistakes in life? I'd be happy to have him here.

Well worth a punt, very good player.

[DuncanRG]

I like him.

[shurlock]

Worth a flutter

 

One footed but so is Gareth Bale - was v.good last season and teams still had problems playing against him once it was clear he was one of QPR's main and only attacking threats.

[Barry Sanchez]

Similar to the Rooney and Suarez deals, why would Spurs sell to genuine European rivals/contenders?

[Faz]

Where would he play?

Where would he play?

 

Principally plays on the left but Redknapp put him on the right where he looked a lot more dangerous. Allows him to cut inside which our teams seem encouraged to do.

Even Les Reed would know he's a championship player

I'll re-phrase; who will he dislodge from our team/squad?

Whoever's been on the right where we've chopped and changed -Guly (yesterday), Punch, Ramirez etc

Les Reed was enquiring about Frank Worthington and Chris Nichol so I am sceptical of his scouting/football abilities.........................................

Stevie Wonder & Ray Charles were also mentioned while you were out of the room!

Les Reed would end up looking at Andy Townsend instead

[tajjuk]

He's an average enough player. A few are impressed in the same way they were with Ryan smith. Anyone that seems to be able to run with the ball a bit really. He has a good shot but overall his end product is poor.

 

He's only 21, seems to have lots of pace, decent dribbling and a good shot. He's also performed well in the prem in a poor team.

 

If the price was right I'd have him, gives us a left footed option to play left wing for some variety as well.

My guess is that with Lallana, Gaston, Isgrove, Punch, JRod, we think we have the wide positions covered.

Probably, although asking a lot of Isgrove to make the step up, he;s shown early promise pre-season. I don't think Gaston is a regular wide option either.

 

We also only have no wide left option who is left footed.

 

Like I said, price around £3-4 million would be good.

Really? It's about variety. Do we have players who are direct and can get behind a team? Jrod's managed in it flashes - the others don't play that way.

Les Reed is doubt a great job. League one to 2nd season in premier league. You don't get there without the right buys and investment...

[Dark Munster]

If only we had a Summer 2013 HCDAJFU / Transfer thread.

 

Oh wait, we do. It's hard to find I know, but here it is:

We need a wide player. Neither Lallana nor Puncheon were reliable enough last season.

I don't think we will necessarily be adopting a great deal of 'natural' width in our game.

Well it's all about opinions, but I can't see us promoting Isgrove and then blocking his path to the team. From the little I've seen he looks pretty direct and so are both JRod and Punch. I would have said its not an area we are looking at, particularly someone who created so little from that position last season. Direct but clueless would be my current description of him.
