I'd love to see a fit Yannick Bolasie instead of Townsend as RF with no extra cost and a fit and quick RWB behind him but it's highly unlikely. If this story did have legs I'd get ready to take Stoke up to the £25 mil they received for Arnautovich and hurriedly start looking for a left footed forward to the side of Benteke. Damari Gray to Bournemouth for £20 mil wasn't it? 3 quality players in the front 3 is imperative, 3-4-3, 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. It's our DNA and Frank's as well. Gray is right-footed.Has played down the left.Generally wants to get the ball on to his right foot but will cross with his left-foot if necessary.A winger more than a forward.

I can see Palace selling Townsend for the right price- £20 plus. He right footed but likes to play wide left, I can not see him as a wing back. too much like hard work. We already have three left sided players who could play as wing backs . Palace need the money to to fund the purchase of Sakho. It was only the tail end of last season he put started to put any effort in and play well.

A Spuds supporter I know claims he played RWB a fair few times while there. Perhaps he's just forgotten how to do it then, or your mate is just trying to make you feel better? Frankly I'm surprised any Spurs supporter can remember much about him as he started so few PL games and spent so long out on loan.

If we didn't replace Townsend after selling him we may as well start selling the squad ready for relegation. Would selling Townsend to buy Sakho mean that? This whole thing of us being suitable for 3-4-3 isn't true (and why would we sell Townsend if that were the case) so it's a case of removing pieces of the jigsaw and replacing them. If we move backwards from having the threat of Benteke, Zaha, Townsend and Cabaye we'll have big problems. We need a central defender and a RWB plus a back up striker, without too much disruption or sales elsewhere. Where I think they'll happen is a sale in defence and/or midfield. Start selling our goal threat will be bad. Rudi I don't think we should sell Townsend or Yohan. I would love us to get Sakho but only think it will happen if Liverpool lower the price.

A few starting to decide on hacking away at the front players to buy a defender for a team looking to take teams on. Odd really.

De Boer would be mad not to want Sakho. Why? There isn't exactly a queue of managers looking to sign him & his current boss has essentially ignored him for a year.

As a RWB he will be exposed as Ward was. If you have nobody filling the hole next to the CB's when RWB goes forward it's easy pickings for a wide player to run into the space. Liverpool did it down our left in Hong Kong and Metz had some joy last weekend. Not a fan of 3 at the back and I don't think Townsend is the right player for that system. He's worth what someone's willing to pay and if it's not enough, keep him. As with Cabaye, AT not very good at covering when players run past them. So for me if the offers good let them go. We don't know how Frank sees them in the style he wants to play nor can moaning on here about it can change anything. See what happens and support them as we always do......

Looked great in the second half of last season, and has impressed me in pre-season. Definitely not one to sell.

No it's foolish selling front players to buy a defender that will spell relegation. If Townsend wanted to go to Stoke we should do a swap for Bojan.
