Mate, what's his colour to do with anything?
Nothing at all, i realize mentioning that came out a little weird. Sorry to anyone who picked up on it as unsensitive.
Anyway, glad he is mentioning how hes been told honestly that he came in as a squad player, and clearly a Benitez transfer.
Have to say that i hope the low expectations here will help. Townsend seems like the kind of guy who grows well into ambition instead of buckling under them.
