Newspapers seem to reckon Pochettino stepped in to get Townsend the move. If so, that's another plus for Pochettino for just doing the decent thing and letting the player and club move on without creating a massive drama.
duncs-
@cmburns, read the same reports, the Sheriff respecting Townsend's attitude after he was frozen out, training/playing with the U21's, so interceded to get him a chance at another club, for a reasonable price.
Also was thinking is £12m such a large fee for Townsend? England international, pacy, impactful (when he got his run with QPR), still young (so presumably has a bright future ahead of him, or a profit to be made if he succeeds).
More worried about the injury to verts and defensive options, and the lack of movement over a second striker, hoping Jan's injury means it puts the fear in them about Kane's wellbeing, and what life would be like without him, so they buy the striker we all think we need...

Daniel Levy is a fucking genius. £12m for fucking Townsend?
