Transfer Rumours Andros Townsend

Not according to this, which surprises me as I thought it was 2 clubs not 3 !

"Currently under the FIFA Transfer Regulations a football player is unable to play for more than three teams in one season. This applies whether the player has been transferred or simply is on loan with that club"

Sauce :- http://www.inbrief.co.uk/football-law/footballers-transfer-in-season/

Plus if he came back to us then technically there's still only 2 clubs involved....not sure if that counts tho .

Can't see it happening but I'd have him back like a shot!

 

Why would that be an issue? He was transferred in the summer - has only played for 1 club this season.

 

Facts, facts, facts. You're confusing everyone!!!

 

Good point fella.
Welcome.

 

Colin has tweeted it's a done deal.

Not gonna happen then...

 

Translation required!! Is he or isn't he??

 

Caulkin has said it's very unlikely he's going to make the move.

Which I welcome, he's a journalist and I don't feel he'd add anything to the squad.

 

Colin from Twitter is like Lawro and always gets it wrong. He has just 'announced' the deal is sealed.
He's a plumber is Colin and full of shiiite.

 

U-Bender

 

You lot are looking at buying James McCarthy apparently. That'd be a good signing for you for the PL.

 

Turned down Sunderland apparently. Pity they could have paid the train fare to the North East.

 

Depends how much the fare was.

 

I'd take James McCarthy but I'm not overly fussed, we have a lot of players who are okay, kinda like their good for the championship and maybe perhaps okay or not good enough for the PL, players like

Ayoze Perez - no better then when he first got here, really needs to up it
Gouf
Jack Colback
Dummett - Not good enough for the championship!
Hanley?
Lazaar?
Anita
Diame? is he consistent enough, 2 years outside the PL
Aarons?
Haidara
Tiote
Gamez
Atsu
Murphy
Sameobi
Selz
Saviet
Tim Krul
De Jong
Mbabu
Riviere
J Sterry

I would say there are question marks over a lot of these players heads, some of them are capable, and would be good enough squad players, but I think when we get up to the PL, we need a good clear out and re-evaluation of what we want to do as a club.

I even question whether Gayle will be good enough in the PL as a single striker, it's a much higher standard, will he still get double figures?

 

Saw somewhere that our hopes of signing Townsend depend on Van Aanholt moving to Palace which looks likely now...

£14m...fooking ell !!

 

Plus Palace apparently owe us £3m for Townsend at the end of Jan whatever happens. Newcastle are supposedly using the payment (or non payment) of this as a lever to sort out the loan deal until the end of the season

 

Yeah if i was a betting man all this financial leverage we have with fee's due to us still this deal looks the most likely to happen.

Townsend and McCarthy in will do me, now wheres that mythical line gone?

 

Starting to think this one might happen. I'd welcome him back for sure
