Rob182 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 We should offer £3m, then have Sherwood talk to press, saying that anyone who bids more than £6m for him is a fakkin mug, and that people need to start playing Spurs at their own game. ....But then we'll probably get outbid by Swansea or Bournemouth.

mikeyp102 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) If we signed him he would be an improvement on what we have. Edited June 20, 2015 by mikeyp102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 I would take him but not at what Spurs will no doubt want for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 He would be an improvement on what we have. Just because he is seen as not good enough for a top 6 team doesn't mean he's not good enough for us! He would improve us no doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 No thanks If we sign this guy were going to get shafted There is zero chance we will be able to get him on the cheap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 much better than what we have in Sinclair and Nzogbia and thats what squad building should be. signing improvements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnbull Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Townsend is a one trick wonder, pacey but can't cross we'd be better off using Sinclair in that role and bolstering the midfield with some one like Alexander Meier He's a head-down, charge and shoot winger, of which England tends to produce too many. The ability to cross the ball should be the prerequisite of a winger - bring back Ray Graydon! He's 67, not really an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 much better than what we have in Sinclair and Nzogbia and thats what squad building should be. signing improvements Agree with that. Talk of only bidding £5 mil for him is rediculous. Like Delph he's a current England international and if some team offered only 5 mil for him we would be insulted.

Talk of only bidding £5 mil for him is rediculous. Like Delph he's a current England international and if some team offered only 5 mil for him we would be insulted. Townsend is also unwanted by his club and started less than a dozen games last season, the situation isn't exactly the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichiBoi11 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 To be honest the talk of how much he'd cost etc doesn't really bother me, it's up to Sherwood to justify to the board that's he's worth the potential fee and wages. Irrespective of that the question becomes that if we signed him would he be better than what we already have in his position? In my mind he's a vast improvement. Sure he's not the perfect player but frankly if he were he wouldn't be linked with the worst placed team to stay up last season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 He started for England the other night. We finished 17th last season. I think he might improve us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 In fairness Delph played for England and we finished 17th with him in the team. Swansea won't bid around £15m for him I am almost sure of it so it's a case of Levy backing down which again I don't see either. He will be at Spurs next season. I can't see Levy letting him go for £5m or even £10m and i'm not convinced he is worth anymore than that certainly not £10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Can't believe some fans think we can get him for any where near £5m, he is a English international. Also, to fans who who don't rate him, when we have been used to players of Lowton, westwood, NZog, Sanchez, etc, sounds just ludicrous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 5-10 million is a fair price in todays market when you look at recent trasfer fees like Dele Alli and Ross McCormack going in that price range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Great, linked to another overpriced, massively over-hyped British player and he plays for Spurs no less so you know we'll get the better end of that deal Buying British, spending far too much money doing so and creating a team of one-dimensional players with no Plan B. Haven't seen this before. I hope Sherwood surprises us because I'm sick of this approach. It doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Levy will want at least £12 mill for Townsend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have that approach before. it got us to 6th in the league Townsend is no world beater but he is better than what we have presently and for a team that has scraped survival 4 years in a row, I think it would be a good signing if it happens. However, it may just be lazy journalism linking him with us and I'm sure if he was available he would have better options than us, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have struggled all season because we count on players like Nzogbia to create and we bemoan bringing in players of Townsend quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
