Wayne Routledge signs 3 year deal with Swansea

Not surprised at all if he has finally gone. Not to sound like a typical ITK bullshitter but I do know some one who spoke to him not that long ago and he said he didn't think he would stay in Newcastle that long as he was missing London.

 

Bit of a shit reason to go back, considering how short a footballers career is.

 

Sums him up as a footballer really. No desire or ambition, just a waste of ability.

I'm not a big fan of Routledge and i wouldn't mind loaning him out, but when our midfield has so many injuries this isn't a good decision.

Surprised about the animosity. We knew what we were getting when we got him and he did what we expected from him. Maybe not quite good enough at this level, but that's hardly his fault and I think we may regret it greatly if Barton is out for any amount of time. Also, he gave us pace, something few of our other players do which can be very useful from the bench in certain situation. Surprised and not happy with this development. We'd better replace him.

I think he's shit, his level is championship, he was a fine signing to get us over the line, but his shitness in this division was somewhat written on the wall. I still think getting rid of him now is idiotic mind you. Our strength in depth is abysmal all over the shop.

Was a good player for us last season, has had his good games (And his bad) this year. Replace him and I'm happy.

I don't think people are slagging him off as such, but I'm seeing people say he's not Premier League class but would keep him...why?

Because at this current time, we have nobody else who can play there other than Barton.

During tomorrow's game if we lose a midfielder to injury, we have literally nobody to turn to. Reason enough to not let him go on loan and without a replacement in place.

Can hardly rely on Gosling at this moment, and if Jonas covers right who will play left.

It's a no brainer really, even though this seems to have somehow escaped the no brainers in charge of the club..

Besides, isn't Gosling a central midfielder by trade? Barton has worked out fine there, but I do remember the likes of Bowyer in that position looking half the player they looked in the middle. It's a specialist position, in which we have absolutely no cover now..

We have Gosling & Ferguson. Plus Tiote will only have one more game to go. We can also play Ranger on the right like we did at Chelsea.

Gosling's out tomorrow isn't he?

 

Obviously after the Spurs game, he and/or Guthrie will be an option
