Andros Townsend
- Thread starter kupest
- Start date
I like what Eurosport had to say on it:
"No, check the diary again, we're nowhere near April 1. Pep Guardiola is genuinely being linked with one of the least tactically nuanced footballers on the planet. What Townsend does can be effective in his way (and it's something that would actually be pretty useful for England over in France right now), but the winger has a level. Upper mid-table in the Premier League is about as good as he's going to get, unless he somehow manages to develop a string of other skills to go alongside his cut-inside-and-shoot routine.
It's hard to think of a player less suited to Guardiola's style of play, and that's before we even get to the issue of who he'd have to oust to get into the starting XI. Kevin De Bruyne? No thanks, we've got Andros. The link to Jurgen Klopp's interesting Liverpool outfit is only marginally less ridiculous."
To summarise - anybody who thinks Pep Guardiola's Manchester City will acquire, let alone play, Andros Townsend is likely a few sandwiches short of the full picnic.

It's true then. Fcuk, yeah!

They aren't confirming it's true, only commenting on the link made by the Telegraph.
In fact, if anything, they are ridiculing it and suggesting it's not true.

I am not comfortable with having an Andros Townsend thread in our Transfer Forum.
If it is City's ambition to compete eye to eye with Real Madrid and Barcelona, I think we have to also compete with them about signing the best players. We need to be signing the players Real want to make their next Galacticos, and we need to be signing players directly off Real and Barca. Before we are doing that, we are not really in the same league.
Andros Townsend, a player Tottenham discarded, a player who just got relegated with Newcastle. Sorry but it doesn't compute.

So would I, to be honest, it's more people suggesting that Townsend could possiby be bought and foisted on Pep Guardiola that I find a bit outlandish.Then I'd suggest he get his bumps felt
