The Clubs a mess in all areasThis seems to happen to us way too often.
He's 20, should have been out on loan.
Welcome to this forum, Daniel!Been thinking for a while that we should look to diversify our portfolio & branch out into the lucrative horror market
Maybe convert the stadium into a London Dungeons type venue (When NFL & Pop concerts aren't happening ofcourse)
£300 Quid Levy masks on sale in the club shop , we'll be raking it in
I'm crap at maths mate, its 62, regardless of started or sub: 21 Sevilla, 12 Leganes, 29 Eibar, including cup games. Four international caps at the Olympics.125 la liga games? That didnt sound right. So I checked. He started 30 games in la liga overall in 3 years and has around 20 something sub appearances.
Maybe he realises he needs to play football in the real world rather than just spend time playing with kids. At least he didnt go in the newspapers and cry about the managers like a rat does.
I’m sure part of this is an assessment by Conte that he’s not ready for the first team, which informs Markanday’s willingness to accept the move.
Conte has had kids in his squads, it’s not like he’s opposed to all of them.
And a hefty sell-on clause can make these pretty shrewd deals.
The trouble is we need HGP bad.
Why is it only championship clubs in for him then if he's ready for the first team? And 500k?Embarrassing from the club. He should have 100% been given a chance in the first team. More shit management of our youth.
The outrage is because our fans think all our kids are going to blow up like Kane.I don't understand the outrage. Club want him to extend and go out on loan to develop, much like Kane and Skippy did. He doesn't want to do that and wants to be a first team player right now, but clearly Conte doesn't think he's ready yet. His contract's almost up, I don't see how else you proceed. We have add-ons and sell-ons included. Job done.
There's a lot to throw at Levy and ENIC right now, this isn't one of those things.
I would have preferred to have keep him because better to have someone under contract than not, but there is little to indicate that he will be someone that we regret and outside of maybe Madueke none of the other young guys we got rid of have come back to really be a regret when losing them like many fans were worried.
He 100% should not have been given first team minutes at all,
I think Townsend could still play a part and do a job for our team.Players who have made it to our first team via the academy have rarely ever gone on to do much.
Carrol, Tarrabt, Mason, Townsend, etc etc.
I can't figure out if the people who always want these kids in our first team actually watch the kids and can't understand that it doesn't translate to being ready for elite level mens football.
Or if they're even more idiotic and make these claims without even watching them.,
