He seems to be doing well on 'the circuit' earning money from video game promotions, punditry, red carpets and all of the vapid shit their handlers book for them.
I'm not going to hold my breath that the new contract is going to repay the team long term. I'd love to be proven wrong but every time I see that train wreck that is his contact with the ball/follow through/spinning out of control and shanked balance I just can't see it.
Only a slimy goon wank-stain of a mong would crow and take pleasure in Spurs players not doing well
Fat contract? £15,000 a week is nothing in modern day football. Reality TV Show bimbo? Well frankly I don't know anything about that and I couldn't care less, it's his life after all. As for doing this being a distraction?! Because he's a footballer is he not allowed to have his evenings free to do his own thing? Does he have to be on the training pitch 24/7?Not doing well? He looked pretty happy. I said he's doing well on the circuit. He signed a fat contract in a Oct, he's banging a reality tv show bimbo. He's doing very well.
If I say he's being distracted by the circuit, then weeks later he's jumping up and down on tv in a giant orange suit....
You can't write this shit.

I personally found it hilarious and I really cannot believe this can legitimately be used against him in any way...
Over in Brazil he was in the gym for hours every day to try to keep up his fitness and like you said he was injured anyway so it wasn't like he'd be able to train with the team.As soon as the England goal happened, he was doing press junkets, video game bullshit, red carpet crap etc. His game went down the toilet.
The same thing happened to so many English Spurs players. Take O Hara. He showed promise then before you know it he's a lame celebrity couple picking glass out of his dj slapper in the headlines.
Bentley also cared more about his press junket redbull wankery. Both O Hara and Bentley are not even pros anymore.
He needs to ignore the fame and trappings of it and become a real athlete and not some joke. Last year I heard he was working like a demon. He got his contract and since then all of his news has been on page 5 and not on the back pages.
Defoe, Lennon, Crouch, JJ, Hudd all wasted their talent and didn't take it serious enough.
I want to see him knuckling down again. I don't want him flying to Brazil to cover the World Cup for some dumb media bullshit when he's injured.
As for all the other things you mentioned Townsend has done none of them, so what if he does the very occasional interview or odd evening sports panel show? There's nothing to suggest he's slacking at all.
I'd rather have lads like Kane and Townsend in the team all day.I don't think he's amazing but he's a fantastic squad option. We have just two legitimate, actual academy players in the entire squad and it feels like half our fans can't wait to get rid of Andros and Harry Kane fast enough.
Then they'll all complain that none of the players show any loyalty.
