Guest andrew Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 At times I do like Routledge, but recently it does just seem he won't cut it. If we get a replacement in, I'm fine with it. Gosling can play RM can't he also? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 must be someone lined up if we're letting him go does explain the search for a wide player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Hope the deal involves Taarabt coming the other way That's what I'm clinging onto atm. Rough diamond, him and Ben Arfa in the same team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 02JIW22 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 yeah we wud get some magic moments but might struggle away from home with two flying wingers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skirge Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 SWP maybe ..... seems strange though a loan not a sale. Or does he see Joey as our first choice RW.. with Jonas also as HBA comes back for LW. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 i'd play him tomorrow, nowhere near bad enough to be mentioned in the same breath as smith or guthrie, hasn't played as bad as some on here make out, doesn't lose the ball much, has had a couple of decent performances .

TRon Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 We wouldn't be releasing Routledge unless someone's coming in. We obviously have to get someone off the wage bill to make the books balance if he's going on loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We obviously have to get someone off the wage bill to make the books balance if he's going on loan. it's not that obvious financially as much as makes sense to let someone go if they are going to be 3rd choice.

ponsaelius Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Not that I rate him particularly highly but letting him go particularly on loan just seems like shooting ourselves squarely in the toes. We already have enough squad weaknesses in terms of wide areas ffs. If he goes and somebody like Taarabt or Hammill comes in I'd be pleased. Maybe Gradel aswell, but I don't truly thing he's any better than Routledge. Routledge is a better player than Jason Puncheon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 i'd play him tomorrow, nowhere near bad enough to be mentioned in the same breath as smith or guthrie, hasn't played as bad as some on here make out, doesn't lose the ball much, has had a couple of decent performances . Gets some very unfair slating given what he did for us last year. Alright, he seems to have a mental block on stepping up to the Premier League (I'm convinced the ability is there cos I've seen him give Jose Enrique the runaround) but the vitriol is unnecessary.

A mental block is a pretty big problem at a club like Newcastle. For a lad with his ability it's a crime he's not making more of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I would play him tmrw as I feel Barton has to move into the middle with Mr T out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Npt a massive fan of SWP but a technical 6 month loan swap would be fair enough. I would play him of Carroll though and keep Barton on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I really don't think Routledge is a bad player. He's a good player who's had a fair few good games this season, especially with Simpson behind him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 I really don't think Routledge is a bad player. He's a good player who's had a fair few good games this season, especially with Simpson behind him. often gets past his man, causes problems for the defence, poor final ball. he should be in tomorrow, not sure he will be though.

ponsaelius Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 He really should be starting tomorrow. Offers a billion times more than Smith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Routledge is quick so he's always going to produce those occasional moments when he gets past his man. Unfortunately he is technically very limited and wastes possession most of the time. Wide men who rely too much on pace are found wanting at this level.
