Wayne Routledge signs 3 year deal with Swansea


Recommended Posts

That's really unnecessary tbh.  If you wanted him shot of the number ten, there's gotta be free numbers between 10 and 53 :lol:

 

He's a useful player, that's what pisses me off.  Fair enough if we want rid, but if he has to stay or we chose to keep him he could have a good role off the bench running at tired legs.  Instead, we play these juvenile games of freezing people out, loaning them out and kicking them in the teeth like Xisco just because we've decided something about them that hasn't really been proven on the pitch.

Still think it makes sense to keep Routledge. If anything, he's a bit of cover on the wings. I dont think he's got enough about him to be starting every game, but he could still do a job when drafted in to cover for injuries and suspensions.

 

He'll not be on a particularly high wage, we wont get a massive fee for him and if anything, he'll add a bit of depth to the squad. Unless Pardew's been told he must get rid of a player before bringing a new one in (which may well be the case) I Cant see why we're so eager to get rid tbh.

Agree with you, he offers another dimension if Barton is going to play RM. I wouldn't be desperate to move him on at all.

That's just his number for now - it hasn't been submitted to the F.A or anything. I imagine he'll get something a little more respectable.

If they somehow manage to merge Routledge and Andy Reid into one player they'll be doing well. Either way I reckon Forest will push hard for promotion next season and I'm sure Routledge would have a good season there. Maybe QPR wised up to the fact he's just not cut out for the Prem.

The NF move just underlines the view that the Championship is his level.

 

I'd say an important first team member of 2 Championship winning teams was quite a decent squad player for a lower table Premiership club to have tbh.

 

He's probably at the height of his marketability now though, so selling him off to free up some window space for new product would be a good business move from the club.
