    He can definitely tear down the line and beat fullbacks, puts a shift in defensively too. He just lacked end product for most of today and many of his crosses didn't beat the first man. Probably better off heading straight to the byline and then dragging it back rather than trying to whip one in and watch it get headed away. Definitely got a footballing brain in his head and doesn't panic, and that composure's something we've definitely lacked since Gradel left.

    Very promising and I think he'll be an asset.

    An asset at the moment would be nice - hopefully bring a bit of positivity to the camp - Hoping for him on left and Snoddy on the right then we may not be so easy to work out.

    He's very good. Strong and fast, can beat a man easily but like people have said, he lacks a final ball. I doubt he can fill the void that Gradel's goals have left, but he will chip in with a few goals with that powerful shot of his. Linked up well with Aidy White and will provide a big threat down the left wing, especially when Snodgrass is back on the right, we'll be a much better team.

    He was a breath of fresh air today, got the crowd buzzing. His deliveries wernt the best today but I dont think he benefitted too much from lack of bodies in the box. He was that quick that the rest of the attack wernt with him. Only criticism today was that I would have given becchio a run with either forsell or Ross Mc before bringing him off and taken Nunez of instead, not that i think ramon didnt have a good game but because he was often too far away from Becchio or hanging outside the box when he should have been making a run in. Back to Townsend i would also like to see him run towards goal rather that to the corner but we may see that over the rest of the season.

    Hear he had a pretty good game for you.A lot of us Spurs fans were surprised he when out on loan,as he does have speed and an eye for goal.A good loan deal.

    He was class at taking on a man,

    he got Burnley 4 yellow cards cos they couldn't handle him so they had to cheat n foul him!

    He only has a left foot his right foot shots where awful and he only uses his left to dribble but i can live with that cos he is Rapid!!!

    Final ball was a bit poor and corners where **** but they always are when Snoddy isnt taking them!

    Cant wait to see him play more for us and glad to have him for the season hope Becchio n Ross get up n support him more

    yea i agree, i've seen a lot of videos to suggest he has a good right foot


    But then again, i have seen videos to suggest nunez is both footed and we all know that ain't true
