Townsend reinstated to Tottenham squad

Spurs have not lost a league game since the opening day of the season and are in fifth place, level on 21 points with West Ham, who are sixth, and five behind leaders Manchester City.

According to London 24, Pochettino is happy to put the incident and the player’s squad exile behind him after Townsend was punished for a heated exchange with a staff member during a post-match warm-down.

We feel sorry for Nabil because he was very close to being able to compete in the week that we played Arsenal before the global break.

This helps build stability for new players whether they’re recent signings or youth academy graduates. You can see the difference – the mentality, the style of play. If at a few time you were a tourist in Paris, you translate your mind into the moment that happened with the people.

Pochettino has helped nurture 10 of the last 18 England debutants and as well as the players, he paid tribute to chairman Daniel Levy for the club’s shift in approach.

“He is not going to do stupid things, he is not going to take a lot of risks, he is like a businessman on the pitch”.

“I know if I go to press the ball, people are going to follow me and it is easy for a striker like Harry Kane as well”.

“Our support is very important, and after for the players and the teams”.

Therefore, although part of Tottenham’s success in 2015/16 has definitely been built upon the impressive strength in depth available at White Hart Lane this term, Andros Townsend should arguably move elsewhere this January to help re-establish himself back among the English top-flight, as well as with England on the global scene.

“Tottenham today is one of the most attractive clubs in the world for all players, not just young players”. He is a player who has certainly shown promise in the final third – but through a general lack of consistency on a week-to-week basis – equally hasn’t reached his full potential as of yet.
