Confirmed Signing Andros Townsend

[windymiller]

40ka week or what ever is not big wages over 2 years compared to he replaced at £20 mill signing fee and 80k per week for 5 years, plus he already offers more than theo

He'll be on at least £60k a week, he hasn't taken a pay cut to join us.

He was out of contract, no one wanted him and is 31 and was told he was a bit part player. Not even Everton would have offered him MORE than he was on previously.

Bent did that all by himself, did he? Impressive.

Maybe we should just try and not sign flops of any price.

Find a team in the World who hasn’t signed a flop.....

 

[evertony]

You’d take Marcus Bent over Lukaku mate???

If I did I’d clearly state that.
And I didn’t.

 

[evertony]

4th place, all by himself, he was Messi before Messi was Messi.

Selective reading Windy....very smart.
No mention of Bent doing it all by himself, simply that he worked his ass off to get us there, which ironically is what Rafael would call a ‘facht’.

Hearsay, hogwash or facht?
Let me guess

 

[Zatara]

Theyre wheeling him out so much as if to make it look like a star signing...

Cant fault him personally of course and id like to see him on a 1 year deal for depth.

But this is silly.

Find a team in the World who hasn’t signed a flop.....

Find a team that has spent as much as us over the last 5 years without signing any one worth keeping

Nothing but good positive vibes about this signing. Just speaking on Sky Sports...very articulate, intelligent and sensible. However often he plays, he'll be an addition to Everton, pity we haven't had him for years.

Not really true this.

Palace went through a bit of a revolution this summer when Viera came in. The fact that Townsend's contract was allowed to run down was because Palace were looking to move the higher earners on to replace with players on lower wages. It wasn't simply just a case of them 'not wanting him anymore' and most Palace fans will tell you that.

Townsend said that Benitez was on the phone to him not too long after.

haha. we blow £45m on Siggurdsson and another £450m on god knows how many other blerts over the last few years and you're complaining about this free transfer.

 

[Blueclouds]

Thought he was a poor Walcott. Class goal

 

[deipnosophist]

he top spins a football like a tennis player does a tennis ball...it dips so sharply with pace on it...nice

 

[Number_25]

Can understand why Palace fans liked him so much, tidy little player.

 

[Furey1878]

Really like him, knew he had that in his locker, just assumed we'd never see it in an Everton shirt.
