The best Andros Townsend jokes as Newcastle agree £12m fee

Spurs had initially demanded £14m for the occasional England winger.

As Newcastle United agreed a £12m fee with Tottenham Hotspur for their out-of-favour England winger, here are the best Andros Townsend jokes.

Spurs had previously rejected the Magpies’ bid of £10.5m, slapping a £14m price tag on the player – but it now looks like the two clubs have reached a compromise.

Fresh from spending £12m on Jonjo Shelvey, Newcastle are now set to lavish a similar sum on a man who’s failed to convince many fans, at least if all these Andros Townsend jokes are anything to go by…

I do not want to live in a world where Andros Townsend costs twelve million pounds

I live in a world where Andros Townsend is worth more than Nani and Robin van Persie combined.

I'd rather spend 12mil on 240'000'000 plastic bags than Andros Townsend.

Andros Townsend’s quotes about being very keen to join #NUFC are only going to get a man ‘randomly’ drug tested.

Remember when Andros Townsend cut in from the right + fired wide? It was almost as good as the time he cut in from the right + fired over.

Andros Townsend meant to sign for Sunderland but missed the target by 20 miles and signed for Newcastle

MI5 need to be monitoring the money-trail if Newcastle have genuinely agreed to pay £12 million for Andros Townsend.

Are we signing Andros Townsend, or are we signing the Sports Direct bag he's carrying? #nufc

Daniel Levy could probably convince me to buy a PS2 for 350 quid… Getting 12 million for Andros Townsend is unreal

— Andy (@AJ3) January 26, 2016

Spurs could win the double this season and getting £14m for Andros Townsend would be their biggest achievement.

If Andros Townsend is £12 million, I'm dreading the next time I have to buy a pint of milk. I'll need to take the cash in a wheelbarrow.

Paying £12 million for Andros Townsend should result in a points reduction tbqh

Any football club that meets Tottenham's demand of £14 million for Andros Townsend should be liquidated with immediate effect. Incredible.
