Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 They asked for £10M for an unproven youngster. Routledge has a couple of seasons of PL and Championship level football - £20M Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Routledge could easily reasonably command double that. It's obviously because we have an enormous squad and we'll hardly miss... oh, wait... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i think we are quite good at getting decent money for our players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Why would a player who has proven time-after-time that a) he's not good enough for the Premier League, and b) he isn't going to get any better... command a higher fee? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We made Andy Carroll the 8th most expensive player ever tbf, and most other outgoing deals have been good or very good deals for us. Pardew has basically said he wont be playing Routledge so that has knocked down the price somewhat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Would much rather keep him. What will we spend 1.5 million on? Cleaning the Barrack Road windows? Wages for staff at the club shop? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrettNUFC Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Not sure why Newcastle are so eager to get rid of Routledge to be honest, he will be on next to nothing and he's a decent squad player for his pace. 1.5 million sounds roughly his price and a swap for Taylor maybe about right but i've never really seen Taylor play, obviously watched Swansea a fair few times last season but Taylor has never stood out but not many left backs do.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm confused about our haste to get rid of him as well, he's not a regular starter for a top club but he's a decent option every so often for a midtable one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing a distinct lack of ambition there Ian. Well actually I did think that as I posted it, I guess if the club really do think we will finish roundabout a Europa league spot then he is someone we should be upgrading. It just doesn't seem like we have that many options for the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baggio Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Good deal if we swap him for Taylor, we gain left back cover as well as replacing Routledge with Marveaux. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just doesn't seem like we have that many options for the right. Options? Barton, Gosling, Jonas, Kazenga Lua Lua, Sammy Ameobi, Marvaux, Ben Arfa, some of the other youngsters, and if we can't get shot, Raylor can all do a job there surely? Seems completely pointless to me keeping Routledge as well if we feel he's had his chance and will never amount to much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 £3m to them, £2m to everyone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well I could go through all of those and discuss them, but I'd say apart from Barton (if he even is) Routledge is our only dedicated right-sided player. I see what you're saying though, we probably won't miss him that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toptoon Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Good deal if we swap him for Taylor, we gain left back cover as well as replacing Routledge with Marveaux. My thoughts exactly. Routledge simply put is a very poor Premiership player. Swap for Neil Taylor sounds good to me. As we are a little light at the back and need back up for Enrique/Enrique's replacement. As bottled dog rightly points out i would probably try all of those players he mentions and maybe the youngsters before Routledge. He's not going to even make our bench. Unfortunately although the clubs may agree a deal Routledge he will also have a big say in where he goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
