David Icke - Son of God Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The lad is 25 and had 8 clubs doesnt that strike anyone as a bit worrying That's typical of any young player who doesn't live up to his initial hype really. They're always shunted out on loan quite a bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The lad is 25 and had 8 clubs doesnt that strike anyone as a bit worrying Very. Never got off the bench for Portsmouth either, which nobody has given us an adequate reason for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're always shunted out on loan quite a bit. He has only been shunted out on loan a few times he has played for 4 different prem teams now 4 different championship teams and 25 is not young....i hope im wrong but this lad doesnt strike me as anything special Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 He'll do for a pormotion push, i wasn't expecting us to go Ronaldo from Madrid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Apparently Cardiff attempted to sign him after his loan spell there, so it seems he's always been fairly successful in the Championship. That will do for now, I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiedean Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The thing is if we mean business we should be looking at teams with financial difficulties and snaring their players Victor Moses Peter Whittingham Ross Mcormack Michael Chopra Tom Cleverly these guys would guarantee that promotion push and would make excellent squad members for prem teams Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Cardiff arent going to sell players to rivals when theyre pushing very close for promotion themselves Moses will likely have prem interest & Cleverleys obviously enjoying his loan experience at watford. Routledge is a solid signing for a weak position, absolutely pointless getting down on it before hes played. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The lad is 25 and had 8 clubs doesnt that strike anyone as a bit worrying What are you expecting to get for £1m? Arjen Robben? Inconsistent, injury-prone, cant seem to settle at his clubs, and looks 40 years old. We'd have trouble selling shirts with his name on looking like a granddad and that really isn't good enough for Newcastle Utd in the glorious position were in.

gray Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The lad is 25 and had 8 clubs doesnt that strike anyone as a bit worrying Has no one heard of him before or something? He's quick, gets down the line and runs at defenders. Its an awesome signing in our situation if you ask me, if only because now defenders can't double up on Jonas as easily. He's not going to tear the PL apart, but will contribute to us going up. Poor mans Keith Gillespie - but we are poor men Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just under a million for Routledge? Wow ... The Times is going with £900K , elsewhere it is reported: "But flush with the £2million they made on the Routledge deal" if it is anything near that amount, why would they sell him for such a cheap price considering he's done extremely well for them? Is he out of contract in the summer? Not as if QPR are short of cash Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

huss9 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Surprised everyone is so happy. Not that I'm unhappy or have really seen him. But the fact he's been about so much doesn't encourage me. Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. I mean, just look at that Anelka, eh? Craig bellamy also, sometimes these players just need to find the right club the right "club" - never more apt than for bellamy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 We were the right club for Bellamy, we just had the wrong manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Routledge is Hughton's first big test as a manager. Having worked with him at Spurs there's no real excuse if this move fails. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teasy Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The lad is 25 and had 8 clubs doesnt that strike anyone as a bit worrying He's been at 7 clubs before Newcastle and 3 of those were loans. Out of the 4 permanent deals he's failed at 2 (which is where the 3 loans came in) and been a big success at the other two which lead to moves to bigger clubs. Its really not as bad as you make it sound. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 The lad is 25 and had 8 clubs doesnt that strike anyone as a bit worrying Very.

Never got off the bench for Portsmouth either, which nobody has given us an adequate reason for. Not sure but I went to OT with a few mates (they're united fans) when they were playing pompey so I agreed to tag along, Routledge was on the bench that night and pompey were s***, however he came on 2nd half as a sub quite early on and he was easily their best player by quite some distance..
