2022/23 Andros Townsend

[Bluebonic]

What did he score 21-22 season, seven goals? That probably makes him our 3rd or 4th best goalscorer, so depressing as that might sound, he should be retained for another season until somebody else starts potting those numbers!

 

[Goodisongang]

He's out of contract in the summer.

Oh is he ye? Decent then get rid

 

[Goodisongang]

, he should be retained for another season until somebody else starts potting those numbers!

Should he? He's had about half a dozen decent games in 18 months, been awful or injured for the rest, he most definitely shouldn't be offered a new contact based on that

He's been consistently decent when fit. No idea where you're getting the awful from.

Mad how short some memories are.

Needs to concentrate on getting fit, m8! Not sat on the telly talking.

because doing punditry stops him getting fit?
I'm fairly sure the club are aware of the level of commitment required and how it plays in to his recovery.
Also, it's always good to have the club represented on these big stages.

Got nothing against the guy, think he's a good pro who proved useful last season, but the type of injury he's coming back from at his age makes me think we that we do not retain him and wish him well for the last phase of his playing career.

Will have to see what role, if any, the guy plays in the 2nd half of the season though I suppose.

 

[EGWToffee]

Hard to see him being anything other than a squad player. Right down the pecking order

He came here first as a squad player anyway.
A good professional who seems to be a positive influence at the club.

He will not be on big money and if he regains fitness and form I would have no problem with him as extra cover for wide positions.

I was being sarcastic, referring to when people moaned about DCL doing adverts whilst injured.

 

[Ron manager]

Think he's a good contributor meself and deffo worth a place the only issue is his long term fitness and only the club can gauge that

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Might be handy for rotation. Usual Christmas fixture issues etc. Get the impression he's a good influence behind the scenes.

no you weren't, I'm offended. My sarcasm font key is also broken arrrrgghhh.

He only played for about seven months when he got a serious injury so deserves a bit of leeway, it’s not like he gets little niggle injuries that keep him out for months at a time and he’s on buttons compared to real sick notes like Mina.

 

[banno]

I will always have a soft spot for him. When DCL scored the winner against Palace last season he actually hopped out of the dugout all the way down to join the celebrations. Must have hurt him

Not for me, started off well in the first half dozen games and then he was very very average. Then a massive Injury deffo doesn't deserve a new contact

Yer played 7 months out of 18 and people want to offer him a new contract.

Not for me
