Dubbed simply doesn't think any British player - past or present - could possess technical ability. Just days ago, he couldn't bring himself to believe Liverpool once dominated the continent with a fantastic passing, technical side and he thinks they've never had a player as good as Ozil. So you surely can't be surprised he doesn't rate Townsend. It's fairly typical.

If Townsend played for Arsenal you can bet your money the likes of Spurtle would be laughing their head off at him.

Not really. I'd be saying "Finally, they've found an upgrade on Walcott."
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Spurtle, that is simply laughable. We won't ever know, but player of Theo's end product would get in ahead of Townsends run past a player and pass it to the opposition, easily.

It's the reason why many England manager's have picked Theo ahead of any other winger, and they'll continue to do so when Theo is fit.

Walcott is the most inconsistent of players, but even now he's added an end product to his game. Townsend, has done nothing.

Nothing to explain. GT doesn't know what he's talking about. Simple. Happens to the best of us.

Yeah I am a fecking German who dont know anything about football.

Guys lets be reasonable, i doubt any Spurs fan would accept that an Arsenal player is better than their player even if its blindingly obvious.

Some of them still believe Lennon is better than Theo

Some even believe Eriksen is better than Ozil

And my favorite is they believe Soldodoo is better than Giroud

Impossible...

Do not wonder

Fack me Serial I was joking with the 'upgrade' comment. I already said before I accepted at a club level Walcott is ahead.

Walcott is a decent finisher and has lots of pace that's why he's a useful player, but as a winger he's far from the finished article.

"Walcott is the most inconsistent of players, but even now he's added an end product to his game. Townsend, has done nothing."

Townsend hasn't had much of a chance though has he? He's only been playing regular football since his loan spell at QPR last season.

The reply button is decent

Spurtle, Walcott is not a winger and has never been one. He's a wide forward and his role is different to that of a traditional winger.



"Townsend hasn't had much of a chance though has he? He's only been playing regular football since his loan spell at QPR last season."

Beg your pardon, but it was you that was calling for him to start for England ahead of a proven player. So now that you've stated yourself that Townsend hasn'[t shown anything, why would an International Coach, with WVC qualification on his mind, choose Townsend over Walcott??

As a nuetral both Townsend and Wilcott main weapon is pace.Take that pace away from them then they wouldn't be playing football in the lower leagues never mind in the Premiership.

Both of them have poor end product and both are far too inconsistant to be relied upon in tight games.

Only thing is that Walcott has had far more top flight games than Townsend but Walcott has made very little progression as a player despite this.Perhaps Townsend could progress with more games under his belt

Both of them have poor end product
-------------------------

Try looking up Walcott's club stats and come back to me on that one.

Was about to make the same comment. His stats look fine.

I've said repeatedly that I don't think Walcott is proven enough at England level so if it was up to me I'd give him more competition and Townsend is a good place to start. And I didn't say he hasn't shown anything, just that he hasn't reached Walcott's club level yet and understandably hasn't been able to through a lack of 1st team football.

Walcott is out injured anyway, as is Ox. So that's probably Hodgson's 1st and 2nd choice on the right gone. I don't see why Townsend can't therefore come in of all the other choices. Though he won't because Hodgson will go safe and choose Milner.

----------------------------------

I am surprised that you're surprised he'll pick Milner. Milner is not great (actually he's fúcking awful), but he is experienced and he has played in a Championship winning team. Milner can do a job and against "tough" teams like Poland and Montenegro, of course Hodgson will pick the experienced Milner over Townsend.

Townsend has to show form for Spurs, then if/when given the chance in International friendlies he has to perform.

But putting your biased aside, even for England Townsend isn't likely to displace Walcott barring a world class string of performances.
