Wayne Routledge signs 3 year deal with Swansea

[Guest]

It's exciting having two players who can carry the ball 50-60 yards on each wing. Even if the end product isn't great when we go up, that attribute could be massive in keeping us up just those two relieving the pressure, winning free-kicks and corners etc.

I was happy as soon as I heard we'd signed him. Might have been blind optimism as I haven't seen him play for a while, but I'd heard he was doing well this season and he pretty much ran things against us earlier in the year. It's just good to have a bit of pace, and balance in the team. I love watching this type of player, like a poor mans Lennon, with hints of Dyer in there. Hopefully he doesn't fade away. His end product has surprised me a bit, its actually been pretty decent.

 

I might be getting carried away but if we go up, first team wingers would now probably be at the bottom of my priority list (along with Left Back of course).

Been a brilliant signing so far.

How many assists in how many games now? Plus a great, and important, goal too.

[Pilko]

He's a bit good.

[Guest LeeDavidMatthews]

good signing, just hope he keeps the consistency going

4 assists and a goal in 6 games. Pretty superb, been our most dangerous player since hes arrived i reckon.

[Ronaldo]

Glad I bumped this, very positive repsonse.

 

He's looking exactly the player we expected and perhaps a bit more.

Superb in this league so far, and will be good backup/pushing for a first team place if we go up.

You know fine well that won't be the case.

Why not? At the start of January people were doubting we'd sign anyone, look how that turned out.

[Village Idiot]

Even if you sign a bunch of players, you won't be signing nobody to replace what's perceived as one of your best performers, 6 months after signing him. Routledge will be starting the first game next season (bar injury).

[LiquidAK]

I think we'll need cover there as atm Routledge is the only real right winger we have, and if we're back in the Premier League we might be in a position to get someone better.

So shall we forget all of the other transfer windows before that?

Ah right so because we had a canny decent January window (for once) I should be positive and think that when we get promoted everything he has done in the past he will have learned from?

Fucking hell, man.

[Colocho]

He seems very arrogant in his play and reactions to things - like he wants all the glory. It's just a little thing I picked up watching him a couple of weeks back. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it.

 

After he set up Ranger, I saw him lash out at Simpson for congratulating him.

[Ronaldo]

Lash out?

[Colocho]

Yeah, Simpson went to hug him so he got a whack.

But seriously, you make it sound like every window we've had's been wank imo, only January last year was truly dog shit bad. If I cared more I'd go back and read your comments from the opening day at Old Trafford, because I imagine they will have been positive. Xisco is the only dodgy signing of the first window, and he wasn't even given a chance to show himself.

No, but you shouldn't dismiss the latest one. It suggests that something has changed. I'm not saying we WILL sign someone better, I'm saying it's possible.

Hahaha, well played son.

[Shak]

I love how signing one decent/good player, one serviceable Championship player, and one complete waste of space, as well as getting a couple of loans in is considered some sort of glorious transfer window these days.

Who's the "waste of space"?

A successful transfer window should be judged on how well we addressed the squad's obvious deficiencies - we got relegated, so not that well.

 

It's not a case of "how many 'dodgy' players did we sign?" ffs.
