Romey 1878 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Bit like Andros Townsend, and Sterling when he first broke through last season. Both disappeared for a long time and only the latter has made headlines in recent months. Andros Townsend just isn't that good. Even when people were creaming over him I couldn't understand the hype.

Newty82 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Surely its better to get him in now before his price does rocket beyond our reach? Hmmmm. Well, yeah. If it's a cheap £5-10 million I suppose. But it won't be, WBA will want more won't they? But then, he hasn't really done anything yet. He's had a good start to the season but who knows? So many 'flash in the pan' then....nothing again. He looks an interesting player. He certainly has high aims for himself. Very ambitious and naively honest with the press. Stop talking and keep playing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC11 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Andros Townsend just isn't that good. Even when people were creaming over him I couldn't understand the hype. When we played QPR at Goodison, every time he got the ball he looked dangerous, in fact very dangerous. When he runs at full pelt and comes inside from the right he's very good. There is definitely potential of a top player in there. The only thing for me though.... He a bit like forest gump.... He can run but I don't think he knows when to put the breaks on.

MC11 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) At that price, worth a go. Then again, I'd rather give Vellios a chance These posts are funny.

Guest blueboy122 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Andros Townsend just isn't that good. Even when people were creaming over him I couldn't understand the hype. Agreed I just couldn't get excited about him. He had a good run of form scored a screamer for England and that's about it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Because he's already too pricey for us, and I think he'd be setting his sights higher than us in all honesty. We have a great reputation for developing young players and giving them a chance and would he even get a game if he went to one of the top 4 sides? Chelsea and City have been a graveyard for promising young players so he might not fancy that Added to that he will know the likes Barkley, Galloway, Garbutt and Stones from the England setup so I don't think its beyond the realms of possibility that he might actually fancy playing for a club like ours EFC-Paul 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young ones especially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I think the problem tends to be young ones getting misguided by greedy agents. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 These posts are funny. The names on the fringes of first team football who you just know won't make it, but there's always someone who does. I stand by the statement. I had faith in the kid, I think he deserved a chance. Shame his attitude let him down. Mark, Townsend had a purple patch and scored some stunners, thats what I was getting at. The media blow any little success of an English player into the stratosphere and I'm concerned its the same with Berahino. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 The sad thing is that Townsend is still probably the best English 'winger' we have. He is limited but at least he does what you need him to do. I like Berahino. His movement is sharp, technically sound, works hard and can finish. His contribution in games needs to improve because he is one of those players that can struggle to get on the ball but he is young and that will improve.

Shukes Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Haha I know we need to retain a little realism but in my mind....we are the biggest team in the world and that will never change.

c1982 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I actually think he's a decent player. Can certainly score a few.

c1982 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 hes another Ravel Morrison for me; could be a big hit if he wasn't a bigger brat I don't think he's anywhere near the disruptive figure Morrison is. WBA fans I know rate Berahino very highly and understand he's a level way above them. He's a natural goal scorer - can't ever have too many of them in your squad.
