Obika did well in the Spurs XI against Charlton then went off to Barnsley. He's 23 too, so you'd assume he needs to start breaking through soon?

Does he have a clause so we can loan him back!? Does he!? DOES HE!?Lol you're right. I don't know why I put that.
I just don't think he's ever going to match the hype that's been created by his unexpected England performances.
Everyone else thinks he's a World beater when in reality (I think) he's only scored one and assisted none for us this season.
So The Goat recons we are after an u21 striker playing in Holland..any of you dutch guys on here seen any paper talk on this?
Narsingh? (I have no idea if he is in the U21 squad...)Depay/Castaignos/Locadia/ are the only players I could think off being worthy of signing. And I'm not even sure they are in the u21 squad. Would be delighted with any of them.
I told him Townsend was overrated.
He's with the full team now I think.. and more of a winger than a strikerNarsingh? (I have no idea if he is in the U21 squad...)

Who?My opinion is, just because he's overrated by the press right now, it doesn't make him any less great.
Oh, Townsend.Who?

I think Depay is too? Bakkali @ PSV is meant to be a real talent as well. Not seen any of him.He's with the full team now I think.. and more of a winger than a striker
Saw Townsend do it very well for England, hopefully TS makes sure that Townsend is well aware of his defensive responsibilities, he has less excuse than Eriksen for example as he is quicker and wing is his natural position. It does worry me that Rose often leaves players as well which is far worse as he is a left back, having two lazy trackers on the left could be very dangerous. Love Lennon for how serious he takes defending, if Lennon had a better shot/cross imagine how good he would be.It's not just his attacking play to me, Lennon, for example, is very good at tracking back and making a defensive contribution. I've never seen Townsend do the same and it's not something that he's incapable of as it's just a case of being determined - not any natural ability.
This is probably more for the summer thread, which I assume will be started on 1/2/14 but with AVB gone I wonder what our chances of approaching Lukaku are. If we can get top four, and if Chelsea are committed to not playing him, he would be an ideal signing.
