Andros Townsend

He's been a fantastic signing for Newcastle. He should go to the Euro's. He's always been effective at international level, but England fans have never really fully accepted him as he wasn't playing well for Spurs. But Newcastles style suits him, as Englands does. What is the point on taking bigger name players like Sterling, when Townsend has proven he's well suited to international football and is now showing that form at club level? But I bet Sterling and Lallana will be picked ahead of him. Technically they are both miles ahead of Townsend, but when it comes down to simply who is the most effective in an England shirt and who has the best chance of doing something that will win us games at the Euros, Townsend has demonstrated it's him. Since he's been at Newcastle and played with the freedom he gets for England he' scored 4 and made 2 assists in 909 mins.

Sorry but how has he been always been effective at international level? He's played about 7 games hasn't he?

Obviously I didn't mean from the initiation of International football back in the late 19th century until the present day. I meant during his international career, in which he's shown a lot more than the likes of Sterling or Lallana.

If Newcastle stay up then the signing of Andros will be one of the key reasons, will be the best £12m Newcastle have spent in a long time.
 
I think he's another Orc. Claims he's a United fan but only ever goes on a full on rant or has a hard-on for anything Spuds related.
Probably biding his time to see if Spurs will have another good season before making the big announcement.
 
I'd be a terrible scout. I thought Shelvey was going to be a fantastic signing for Newcastle and Townsend would be underwhelming. Seems like the complete opposite happened.

I mentioned plenty of times why I speak mainly about Spurs. I've recommended many times that people follow another Prem team other than Utd. I can be far more objective about Spurs than you can about Everton. Posting about Utd on 606 started to take over my life as it's easy to get very emotionally invested in what you are saying etc. Look yesterday, in the Lukaku thread, I could have taken the bait about arguing Greizmanns unsuitability for us, but I just left it. There is a reason for that.

Are you sure you aren't a spuds fan? ;)

to be fair I think that was close to most people's assessment. I don't know about "fantastic" though but I certainly thought he'd be the better signing of the two.
 
Martin Keown gathered all kinds of unwanted attention with his punditry on Sunday night's edition of Match of the Day 2, with three bold statements that were ridiculed on social media.

In light of Newcastle's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday and the recent form of Andros Townsend cutting in from the right wing, Keown said: "When he gets onto his left foot in these areas, there isn't a better player in Europe."

Shelvey is a bit of a fraud. Don't think he ever does much in a game.
 


Sorry for bumping an old thread but didn’t think this was worthy of its own thread.
 
Very sad about his brother and pretty brave of him to admit his (past) addiction. There has to be so much more young players on 10/20k a week that are throwing money away in betting games...

'I don't know who owns me' - Townsend in transfer limbo


Andros Townsend says "I don't know who owns me" after the Turkish club he joined from Luton earlier this month was banned from registering players.

The 33-year-old right winger signed a contract with Antalyaspor but only after the ban imposed by world governing body Fifa came into force, meaning he could not be registered.

Townsend is able to train with his new team-mates but cannot play or even be officially announced as an Antalyaspor player.

An Antalyaspor source has told BBC Sport the Super Lig club owes outstanding money to two former players and, when the debts are paid, hope to complete Townsend's transfer soon.

"I'm stuck in Antalyaspor just training, I don't know who owns me, I don't know where my contract is," the former England international told BBC 5 Live's Monday Night club.
 
It feels like Townsend has a been a player and a pundit at the same time for the last 10 years.
 
Said Seamus Coleman is the greatest human being on Earth.
 
He's hilarious.

"The last time England played in Dublin it finished 0-0, you played in that one"

Andros - "Probably why it finished 0-0"
