I'm feeling highly and unexpectedly emotional about Townsend leaving. He wasn't amazing but he was good and good enough for us - just a wide player stuck in a system which doesn't need wide players.
It was all worth it just for the moment against Italy when Townsend scored and the first there to congratulate him were his fellow spurs teammates including Kane and Mason, there alongside him in the youth teams for years. He was part of what will hopefully be remembered as a golden era of youth players coming through the Spurs ranks.
And there were moments like this.
Great Player. He was Spurs from the toes up. His Twitter picture of him leaving the ground said it all. I cried for him:dierpochhug:. He was totally gutted to leave us after spending 16yrs loyal yrs. Even Poch stepped in and helped him move on. Got Levy to drop the price. Not to get rid of him but purely not to hinder his career out of respect. Sent to train with the under 21's and got on with it. Hence Poch stepping in and helping him move on.
West Brom Directors and Pullis could take a leaf out of Poch's book and not screw up a players career just to make a point about who is most egotistical.
I'll miss his guts and hardness of tackling on the field. One of our best players to come out of the youth squad in decades. Don't bother arguing this point if you haven't been following them for decades! You're talking from the perspective of not witnessing for yourselves. So your opinionated view would be based on nothingness.

Just a casual observation....
You can stick Nick Barmby and Steven Carr on that list as well.
THINK for yourself!
Wish him all the best, he's a yid through and through!
Erm.... you couldn't tell which was which?THINK for yourself!
Only joking... I'm sad to see him go. But then again, people were sad to see Stefano Freud go (myself included) until we took a long hard think about the direction of the club, and what message getting rid of certain players said for our ambition.
Townsend was a loyal Spurs player... but not one of the best, and if we're all honest with ourselves, we all know he's going onto a different kind of club, with very different aspirations.
I actually think he'll thrive there, and may well help them get out of the hole they're in...
He's a very good player... But he's not a Top 4 Club player. He simply isn't.
Blatant...Its probably due to drinking beers withFurball man more than anything else but that picture Townsend posted made me a bit soppy
Shame he had to move on. Especially after that breakthrough spell with us and England during 2013. But hardly scored or assisted any goals, not good enough for an attacker.
Wish him good luck up North.

You missed the "l" out of "sloppy" I generally make people moist.
The lovely Tam says hello to you buddy .
I will miss him, will always be a Yid.
Wish him luck throughout his career.

Seriously though, gutted he didn't make it but it's worked out in everyones interest and I hope he kills it for them. Things are looking truly amazing with us though at the moment and our squad is carrying almost no dead weight anymore, really exciting times ahead!
Goodluck to him, I'm sure he'll always we welcome at The Lane.

The guy loved the club and gave 100%. I wish him well in Newcastle and hope he's still considered for England.
I would think he wouldn't be eligible to play against us, no?
That would only be the case if he were on loan, no?
