Andros Townsend returned to White Hart Lane for the first time on Saturday since leaving the club where he spent 16 years. The winger, now of Crystal Palace, was greeted warmly but few Tottenham hotspur supporters regret his exit last January.
Townsend is one of a long list of senior players sold by Mauricio Pochettino during his two years at Tottenham and fans have, by and large, backed the manager -- particularly when it became clear he was building the most exciting Spurs squad for two decades. Emmanuel Adebayor, Younes Kaboul, Etienne Capoue, Aaron Lennon, Paulinho and Co.
