    Townsend snr

    Will we keep him in January or will someone give him a better offer?

      I’d be very surprised if it’s not already sorted, to Andria himself knowing his character, I bet a starting position in the team would be important, with us barring injury , is virtually guaranteed. He has also publicly spoken out thanking Rob for saving his career. I personally would offer him a 2 year extension because his attitude is good to have around the place no matter what division we are in.

        Worth forking out to keep him, within reason

          Exactly.

          Sometimes I feel that we have fans who want us to fail and enjoy trolling and creating doubt.

          Why why why?!!??

          Enjoy these moments.

          Why couldn’t we give him a better offer? We are in the Premier League.

              Fed up with this negativity about money.

              We pay very decent money.

              If it’s good enough for most why suddenly wouldn’t it be enough for one?

              This negativity around what we pay is really a hard one to understand.

              Some are so negative.

                We pay the lowest in the Prem…and by some way compared to the top 10.

                    Why why why?

                    A year on from the Fulham factor and still you carry it on.

                        How would I know, how would anyone know.

                        But whatever we pay is decent enough for our squad and our management team.

                        Talking about money shows poor breeding.

                        I can’t believe anyone would imagine that Andros will even consider not staying.

                        But yet again a post on here trying to stir things up and create doubt.

                        Some people will never get over the job Gary and team have done.

                        The “M1 West” lot are still very bitter.

                          FFS, you literally cannot help yourself nor be helped.

                          All anyone has to do is offer about £20k a week and we can't/won't compete. And that's every other club in the league. And some would offer that just in case they had to consider covering a position.

                          What his threshold is for leaving, who knows. But, at his age if it started getting up towards £40k, which is still fuck all for most of our competition then he'd be off.

                          Stop being a div and take your Football Manager hat off. Someone once told me that to be good at FM you basically had to shelve everything about actual Football. It clearly works the other way.

                            So you think he would move for money and no guarantee of a Premier League game or earning the “legendary” status he will earn by helping us stay up?

                            What are you on?

                            Once you have a few million you really don’t need any more.

                            And this is a player who has really benefited personally from playing for us, regular media attention etc.

                            But will join someone like Sunderland or Coventry because they can pay him more?

                              Presumably you have more money than sense, which I could believe, if you can't conceive that a player of his age with an uncertain amount of time left in his career would move for more money.

                              Forget the guarantee of playing time, any player worth his salt backs themselves to get into any team.

                              I didn't mention Sunderland or Coventry. It's telling that you did because you believe that that's an argument that you could win. But, no, basically anyone in the lower half of the Prem table could take him, just in case, and blow us out of the water for wages.

                              Cheers, Jim

                                They could but why would he?

                                I would thought his experience with Burnley and in Greece/Turkey will have proved the point.

                                He is loving it with us.

                                I just can’t get why any Luton fan would waste time trolling that he might not.

                                Think it but post it?????? Why?

                                  Apart from 'because it's a realistic possibility'?

                                  I appreciate that you can't envisage it. Unfortunately, that's not quite the endorsement that I'd prefer. I imagine that some days you have difficulty envisaging that tomorrow will have a 'y' in it.

                                Why when we are having our best year for 32 years are we having to raise wages and salaries as a matter of discussion.

                                Why can’t you just enjoy what we have rather than look for the negatives?

                                Money is a private matter and it’s very TalkSport and Daily Express (shallow) to discuss it.

                                                        Of course Townsend is unlikely and a last resort.

                                                          It was unlikely because nobody thought we could or would afford him.

                                                          Secondly we would have tried for a lower wage option first but in the end its all worked well.

                                                              For the club to have to spend more than we wanted to to ensure we had a quality addition to the squad.

                                                              I am sure its costs more than we had budgeted for so it was a last resort.

                                                              But completely the correct decision.

                                                              Most fans has assumed the deadline had completely closed and we couldn’t even sign a player.

                                                          They're the same thread where a grand total of four people disagree with your three options.

                                                          That's nearly a draw. Spout enough names and the one we do sign and who doesn't shit the bed proves you right?

                                                          I've always liked AT as a player so I was happy to see him sign but, given the evidence in the interview quoted in that thread, he could easily be tempted by a more established club with a modest improvement in wages.

                                                          Cheers, Jim

                                                            That wasn’t the only thread I mentioned AT, I really can’t be bothered to go back over every post I made at that time.

                                                            We didn’t actually sign him for another six weeks, which I hope makes his decision now even easier.

                                                            We gave him an opportunity (when nobody else would), he has been brilliant for us and we for him.

                                                            It really shouldn’t be about the money.

                                                            That’s all I meant.

                                Offer him a fair deal. If he really buys I to who we are them he'll take it. If not then thanks but goodbye.

                              I feel that even if he was given a better offer he’d stay - he bought into the Luton way and comes across as a decent human. Recognised the opportunity we’ve given him, he’ll stay..

                                  I believe I read somewhere that his son is on the medical team, hence Snr. Perhaps he will stay because he enjoys it here and his family ties.

                                      yes I realised he wouldn't be old enough after I posted, I think I have him mixed up with someone else .

                                      Was just interviewed on 5Live and said it was 99% certain that he would be extending his contract. But no arrogance whatsoever. He said that he realised that if in any game his standards slipped, he would be hooked.

                                        i think i am incorrect about his son, he wouldn't be old enough.
