I can see him running out his contract with the rare loan here and there before going back to France and slowly disappearing into mediocrity like David Bellion did.
Routledge had at least done well with Crystal Palace in the PL to get noticed before the pressure overtook him. He also did well in the Championship for QPR and us before moving on to a promoted side that suits his playing style.
Obertan didn't even prove himself at Bordeaux. Their manager and fans were surprised Man Utd came in for him.
2 goals and 4 assists in 53 PL appearances for us, the number of good decent games for not even touching 10%.
