“I think I either give it a go at Tottenham, get more game time, or look to move on a more permanent basis,” Townsend said.
"I’ve had nine loans now. I enjoy going out on loan because it means I’m playing games. I’m not young anymore – I’m 22. In football terms, I’m getting on a bit and I want to play sustained football on a permanent basis.
I think Gareth Bale is playing more down the middle anyway. It gives me hope that I can try and break through this season if he continues to play down the middle.
Harry Redknapp, you know what he’s about. He’s a man motivator. He likes to play free-flowing attacking football. As you saw from the years at Spurs, it was attack, attack attack.
With Andre, his attention to detail is unbelievable. I was in his office [towards the end of last season] and he had every single session that he’d done this season in a massive, massive book. His attention to detail is amazing.”

“Andros did extremely well in QPR for a team during a difficult time. So we have allowed him to come back, he’s enjoying pre-season, he’s showing great motivation to stay in the team. This is what you want from young players coming through. For young players, if they are talented enough, if the talent is high, the best thing they can do is beat that competition.
He’s competing against Gareth, he’ll be involved in the nomination for the Fifa Ballon d’Or, so Townsend has a difficult task ahead of him but he is the player he must beat alongside Lennon.”
