Wayne Routledge signs 3 year deal with Swansea

Good to hear he had a promising game.

 

A lot of wide players have a good impact in the early stages of their careers, but then defenders suss them out a bit, and they have to face the challenge of improving, when they'd thought they'd already made the grade. Some players find that difficult, and I wonder whether that happened with Routledge. Hopefully, he'll start to come good again with us.

 

Lennon is the prime current example of a player who started well, then lost his way, but finally got his act together.

 

It's also true of Bentley and Beckham for what it's worth. Let's not forget David Beckham was retired and playing in Disneyland not so long ago.

Exciting debut. He moves for the ball, gives and goes, happy to go on the outside or the inside and creates space for others with his running ala Jonas, if we just got someone with the preverable 'Engine' in the middle we'd cruise this league.

Read on the match reports he gave the assist for Ranger's goal.

 

Good pass n'all. The run was timed well and the pass was perfectly weighted.

 

Nothing revolutionary but those minor bits of quality win you games in this league; and we've shown on numerous occassions that we only need to do it once.

 

Promising signs. :)

He's very good in his own right but the balance he gives us is fantastic. We can now stretch teams across the pitch and come at them from both flanks.

 

Looking like a superb signing and he'll get even better imo. :)

Yep, teams can no longer afford to put 3 or 4 men on Jonas which helps massively.

Really impressed with the lads first touch, a few times his first touch was what set him on his way. Fantastic goal, and generally very very impressed with him last night. Hope he can keep it up!
