i think city fans will disagree, especially last season, which pretty much puts your 'good game for years' comment to bed.
routledge did ok against chelsea by all accounts (didnt see the game as i was away), but has produced absoloutely fuck all prior to that.
i'll agree to disagree though, as i do take the point of massive wages and i can see the point that it may well smell of a duff type signing (i.e someone on the decline who does nowt for us).
