Mick Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Routledge hasn't looked anything like a top flight winger all season. He's looked OK at times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He was pretty dire at Spurs & Stevenage in two of his last games for us so I won't shed many tears over him not being available tbh. A training cone could contribute the same amount he did those two games. If we sold every player who had been poor in those games we wouldn't be able to fulfil our remaining fixtures. If had just been those two games fair enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If had just been those two games fair enough. I think he could become a decent winger with the right coaching and he's proven while here that he can do a job, for some reason he hasn't made the step up this season and a lack of games can't have helped him.

Optimistic Nut Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He had probably the best coach of wingers and crossers of a ball there is at Villa. Milner & Young improved under Robertson & O'Neill, Routledge has stood still for years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiemonster Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm a bit concerned about this to be honest. Radio tonight said Nolan had been sent home with illness, so I'm not really sure who we have in midfield for tomorrow, other than Barton, Guthrie and Jonas.

TRon Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 No but I don't think it's the end of the world getting him off the payroll and not replacing him. It is when Gosling has suffered an injury setback, R.Taylor, HBA and Smith are all out long term, Guthrie has lost all form and Tiote keeps getting suspended. Bar Nolan, Jonas and Barton we have nobody else. Let's see what happens the next 10 days eh? I think that's the key. Routledge is a waste of space for me but I can only assume he was allowed to leave to accommodate the wages of an incoming player. If not then it's obvious Ashley is back in Russian roulette mode.

Routledge was only at Villa for less than a year and only played twice, that's hardly giving him a chance to prove anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 He was at Spurs for a couple of years too and did nowt though as well? He played 5 games at Spurs and that was spread over a 3 or 4 year period in which he was loaned out twice. His assists record for us last season, which is more relevant than when he was 19 or 20 years old is one in almost every two games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordiemonster Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Inman was born in Australia to an English father, Dave,[1] and a Scottish mother, Lorraine,[1] as the youngest of four children. He began playing soccer at six years old. Inman played for the youth team of the Modbury Jets where he captained the side for two years. His coach said Inman was "an attacking architect, a workaholic in the midfield and [that he] has excellent vision."[2] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Displayed phenomenal form last season, but no-one in the squad has tailed off and failed to make the step-up as clearly as this guy. Really big shame cos the ability is proven to be there. Not bothered about the fact we're losing him but i see a loan as a little pointless. Hopefully there'll be a sell-on clause.

So, if Nolan is out of the running for tomorrow, how would you line up in midfield, and who would you have on the bench to come on in midfield and make an impact?

Only option I can think is to put Shane Ferguson in there somewhere and hope for the best. Just shows how weak our squad is really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you could put Ranger on the right, or Ferguson left and Jonas right, and it wouldn't have any different outcome to the way the game goes than if Routledge played.

geordiemonster Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 When you look at the midfielders Spurs have it just shows the gap between us and them. Gareth Baile Tom Huddlestone Aaron Lennon Jermaine Jenas Rafael Van Der Vart Wilson Palacios Luka Modric Niko Krankjar Jamie O'Hara Stephen Pienar All but two would walk into our squad I reckon.

Willow Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hmm don't really agree with this loan right now unless we have other players coming in, he's an excellent squad member - at least it's just a loan though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
