Apparently Andros Townsend's loan has been terminated, and i've also heard rumours that Adam Smith is returning to Spurs as well.
If this is true it's very disappointing, after he was doing so well for MK Dons. Seems like everyone has been messed around.
Was hoping Neil Warnock would do for Smith what he did for Kyle Walker. Hopefully now the two of them will go back on loan to better run Championship clubs. I'd like to see the two of them at Birmingham under Chris Hughton.
What's going on with our loanees?

Hopefully he'll get games against Stevenage and Bolton in the cup

He's cup-tied. He played wide-right for Leeds when they got beat by Arsenal.

Poor form by Townsend.
Walker, Cauker, Naughton, Livermore etc have been farmed out way outside of London often enough. Tis the way it's gonna be for the kids now.
If Townsend cannot take this "rite of passage" , perhaps he doesn't want to be a Spurs player badly enough.

Carroll = the new Bale !!!
Watch him go when the sequence is broken.

Yes, I am inclined to take the same view.

I personally would rather go and play regularly than sit and watch the first team week in week out.
Wonder if there wasa bit more to it with Warnock than is being reported? He can be a bit "abrasive" in his dealings with players.

There probably was more to it geniusgreaves.
I realise that if Warnock had the choice between a Shaun Derry midfielder who is a wise old pro and who gets stuck in, and a ball playing footballer like Andros Townsend, then Warnock would choose Derry every time.
But this seemed to be a good loan move for Andros and whilst these things don't always work out, I am still left with the feeling that Townsend needs to take a look at himself over this one.

"Yes, I am inclined to take the same view"
I am accepting of homesick etc, but he is not suffering solo. Other Spurs kids have gone thru it, and are yet to. This is how things are gonna be.
Tis not done for fun. There is real purpose behind it.
If a Spurs kid cannot see this, then perhaps their future lies elsewhere.

Guys.................................I agree that these youngsters need to understand that if the knuckle down and focus then they could be playing at the very top, either with us or another PL team.
You get nothing for nothing, the rewards are out of this world and can map the course of your life in terms of wealth and security.
Only wish I was in my teens again!!

More with Townsend at the thought that Caulker may not be recalled to the fold in the summer when he deserves to, while the likes of Townsend may be ing over a couple of Europa turnouts.
