BOF Posted July 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2015 I like Townsend as a player, if we signed him he'd be one of our best players.I'm not even trying to slag the guy for the sake of it but I genuinely don't think that would be true. For me he is very one-dimensional. He has one trick that he's good at but he'll be figured out very quickly by the Premier League (if he hasn't already). Even Spurs fans who have long-suffered Aaron Lennon's one trick were scratching their heads when Lennon was loaned to Everton. When Spurs fans are choosing someone over you that has no surprises left in his locker then that's a fairly damning indictment too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted July 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2015 I like Townsend as a player, if we signed him he'd be one of our best players. ...or he could turn into the new Zog and be a massive waste of massive wages for years. 50/50.

KSV Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Being linked with Sergi Darder.http://www.calcionews24.com/l-aston-villa-vuole-chiudere-per-darder-450068.html CALCIOMERCATO INTER ROMA ASTON VILLA Darder -After toying with the idea of playing in the Italian league for Sergi Darder I can open wide the doors of the Premier League. The Spanish midfielder ofMálaga , has learned by our staff, it is close to closing with Aston Villa. There is an agreement with Malaga for a figure close to ten million Euros but the club of Birmingham should be finalized before the two supplies. ROME WINDOW - Darder like Inter and love to Rome where he Sabatini in a fan. The player and his entourage are in question with Aston Villa and could come soon for the white smoke. Can't say I know much about him. He was linked few weeks back too Doubt were after another DM Edited July 13, 2015 by KSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think we could get 3 people better than Townsend for 15mil. As in all 3 cost a combined £15m. I agree. He's the worst combination in terms of over-valuation. He's English. (Somehow) a current international, plays in London and of all clubs he plays for Spurs. You couldn't make up a more over-valued tick list than that. I wouldn't mind if he was actually any good. That's what I meant, yeah. I obviously agree with you here - just definitely isn't worth the dough. I think it's a lazy journo link. Certainly hoping it is anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Midfield will start to look a bit crowded if we get Darder. Hopefully it means we will sell Westwood and its last chance for Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 13, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2015 Westwood > Sanchez Wouldn't be too thrilled to see Ash moved on and Sanchez kept. But I think they both have their part to play this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightysasquatch Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I keep thinking we will go with two holding players, a 3 behind the striker & width from the fullbacks. Darder is a DM I believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I expect that Westwood will be one of the first names on the team sheet next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I just think there is a lot more to come from Sanchez but Westwood is as good as he is going to get. Wouldn't be bothered if either of them left to be honest.I expect that Westwood will be one of the first names on the team sheet next season. I disagree. Squad player at best.

BOF Posted July 13, 2015 Moderator Share Posted July 13, 2015 IMO Sanchez is better at what he does than Westwood is at what he does. But they both do very different things and Westwood's position is by far the more demanding and difficult. His task is to run the show. Sanchez's is to break things up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they both do very different things and Westwood's position is the more demanding and difficult. His task is to run the show. Sanchez's is to break things up. I can't work out what Westwoods role actually is. He has a good touch and reads the game well but is pretty ineffective at attacking and also pretty average at defending. He seems to be good at passing the ball around the middle of the pitch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At his best, Sanchez is the better player. But that appears to be about one game in ten. When he's bad, he's shocking. Westwood is far more consistent. Obviously, the hope is that Sanchez will settle more this season and improve his consistency. But in the immediate future it should be Westwood starting ahead of Sanchez.
