Wayne Routledge signs 3 year deal with Swansea


Recommended Posts

That race suggestion is offensive bullshit tbh. Fucking bollocks.

 

Who is it offensive to?

 

Considering the context, it originally read to me as a very clear implication that some in this thread might not want SWP because he's been unfairly labelled based on his race. Personally I think that's utter tosh, even if you didn't actually mean people on here. Players get labelled by fans, the media and managers based on their ability and what they show on the pitch. Sure there are some bigots and racists kicking about but that's unfortunately just the way things are.

SWP's career took a wrong turning when he chose to join Chelsea rather than Arsenal. Wenger would have brought him on as a player in the same way as he's doing with Walcott. (Not sure how far he'll get with Theo but that's another story)

 

SWP marked time at Chelsea and then ended up in a similar position back at Man City. He does have talent, and it could flourish with the right club at the right time.

 

I'd agree with T Ron, that he's difficult to define either as a striker or a winger. He could do well in a 4-3-3 though.

He reminds me too much of Guthrie.

 

They're both products of Liverpool's academy and look a bit similar. Football wise they're completely different players. Put my neck on the line that he will be a success at whichever Prem club he signs for.

Sewelly must have a thing for shite players.

 

Hammill is another winger who can't see a pass and tries to do it all himself. Most time failing miserably. If he had any sense, he'd stay at Barnsley and learn how to pass.

This is coming from the guy who thinks Routledge is very similar to Karim Ziani, Danny Graham is more than good enough for the Premier League and that Coloccini is more suited to holding midfield than CB.

 

Yet I'm the one who's a poor judge of player? Whatever mate.

Both pacey wingers who can beat a defender but lack final delivery.

 

Danny Graham is a local lad who can finish. (something our other strikers struggle with) I'd love to see him get a chance in the prem. Not like he'll cost the earth.

 

Colo played excellent in the DM role for Depo. With Smith and Tiote both out, I don't see any better options.

Our other strikers didn't struggle to finish in the same division Graham is playing in.

I dunno how much you've watch of Ziani (FIFA? FM?) but he's barely comparable to Routledge. He's spent the majority of his career playing from the centre (rather than out wide), is a good dribbler of the ball, has good technique can pick a pass and has reasonable delivery from a set piece. Routledge is a kick and rush wide merchant with one trick in his arsenal and poor delivery.

 

Danny Graham is a decent Championship player who's having a purple spell. Who gives a fuck if he's a local lad, he's barely got the attributes to improve our strike force.

 

Coloccini has played about 5% of his career in central midfield in a very different league to this one. He's not got the legs to solve our midfield dilemma without Tioté but more crucially than that he's by far and away our best centre back. Moving him out of defence when him being there has been key to any success we've had is nonsensical. It's his best position.

 

Also, Smith is not a holding midfielder.

Where have you been? Smith's been a holding midfielder for 2 seasons.
