Andros Townsend worth £12 million?
|
|
Newcastle think so. He's not played a full match for Spurs for ages. It must be a seller's market.

Nope, but they've got Roy Hodgson to thank for that

Tottenham are BRILLIANT at getting top dollar for the players they sell. No idea how they do it - he really isn't all that.

Levy always manages to wring the last sheckle out of every deal. They make very good businessmen dontcha know.

He's worth what someone was prepared to pay, could turn out to be a decent signing if they can get him reproducing some of his England form. I was gobsmacked that Naismith went for 8.5 million but thats the market now.

Not worth more than £6m & Shelvey even less
They're wasting more money than Curbishley
It would be hilarious if they get relegated!

Not much more than we paid for a winger with 1/10th of Townsend's England caps, from a club in the Championship, not one aiming for the Champions League. He's also only 24, so younger than Jarvis was when we bought him.
Of course, neither of them are worth 7 figure fees but that is pretty much the going rate for some reason.

Really don't see how it's hard to understand. Fees for players will be increasing, not because teams have more to spend as such, but rather the selling teams are quite comfortable rejecting lower bids.
You can double what your expectations are and whack on 20% to that if they're British.
Townsend has always shown promise. 12m is not extortionate. I suggest you lot are letting hate cloud your judgement.

Anything is "worth" what someone is prepared to to pay. Simple as that. The buyer only finds out later if the purchase was good value.
Liverpool paid £35m for Andy Carroll! We paid a lot less, but I'm not sure he's been good value.

Not sure he's building fast enough though. His team have to overtake - and stay ahead of - Norwich & Bournemouth at least.
Next 3 games for all:
Everton v Newcastle United
Newcastle United v West Bromwich Albion
Chelsea v Newcastle United
Norwich City v Tottenham Hotspur
Aston Villa v Norwich City
Norwich City v West Ham United
AFC Bournemouth v Arsenal
AFC Bournemouth v Stoke City
Watford v AFC Bournemouth
I see a point each for Newcastle & Bournemouth, and 3 for Norwich in those games, which will leave them in 18th with 12 games to go.
And that assumes Fat Sam doesn't pull a poacher's haul of rabbits from his hat.

Didn't he break through at spurs in the same sort of furore that Deli Dli is now and get into the england team. got injured and then started coming back.
Had a row with a training coach at spurs over nothing and got dropped?
If he gets his form back to where he was then he is easily worth 12 mill.
payet may have been cheaper but we got a bargain there

I always thought Andros Townsend has something on Hodgson as he always picks him despite not playing for the yids.

>>> Tottenham are BRILLIANT at getting top dollar for the players they sell.
Agreed. I'm absolutely in awe of what they've done recently - I think they've not got enough credit for it. They have an outside chance of winning the league this season with a positive transfer balance over recent years. It's not an accident.
We should be looking at what they're doing and copying it, honestly.
