Kaizero Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I would imagine the Riise talk is just the press putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with the wrong answer again. Risse doesnt fit the club age or salary structure requirements. I personally would like us to sign Van Aanholt from Chelsea. That is, if Ashley Cole doesnt shoot another trainee in the stomach How can the press put two and two together from Riise saying to the press "I want to go play in the MLS and after that end my career in Norway"? Strangest transfer rumour in a while based on, well, everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Never got why you're such a big fan of Becchio. I think he's as bog-standard as they come. Token target man. All my in-laws are Leeds fans and insist he's found his level in the Championship. And how do they know that? He's never played higher Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm sure Routledge's problems in the Premier League are more mental than anything else, he's just not confident in this division. Aye, the talent is definitely there. Just look at the Chelsea game. If someone could convince him the Premier League is actually the Championship, we'd be laughing. I still think he has some sort of squad future here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on tbh, so frustrating aswell. Showed numerous times he can take the piss out a wingback if he's up for it (he certainly got the better of Cole at SJP). He just hardly ever seemed up for it though, for whatever reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would certainly like him to have a future as a squad player, but loaning him out when he was our best cover for RM points to a deal been agreed and him been off to QPR again at the end of the season imo.

ponsaelius Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Routledge is a better player than Gradel. This Disagree. Have seen Leeds a couple of times. And I think Gradel is a better player. First of all, Gradel works like an idiot, second he's a decent finisher, with 12 goals as a winger/attacker. Routledge on the other hand shoots like a newborn. Third, Gradel is able to cross, which Routledge is totally incapable of. He's similar in Rouledge in that he tends to make football more difficult than it is sometimes. But overall, Gradel is a better player. You obviously didn't watch Routledge last season. He takes the absolute piss out of the Championship, but it's probably his level - just like it's Gradel's.

Punk77 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'm sure Routledge's problems in the Premier League are more mental than anything else, he's just not confident in this division. Routledge main problem is that he's doing things waay to difficult. He tends to wait until the opponent is close to him before dribbling. But then he's easy to take out due to his tiny body. Secondly, I doubt that his crossing is caused by a mental block. It's his technique which is causing him problems. He tends to hit them too high and too weak. When he's in a good crossing position, he often stops up and waits. That of course makes it harder for him to cross, and makes it easier to close him down. In such situations, generally it's much better that he uses his speed to advance on goal or tries to deliver the ball at first or second posts. His job is to deliver the ball into dangerous areas, if our players are not there, that is not his fault. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Routledge is a better player all round imo That Routledge is ruling the Wankership, doesn't mean that he will master PL better than Gradel. Routledge has again and again showed that he doesn't have the technique, brain, physique or working capability to master PL. Gradel on the other hand works much harder, is tougher in the duels (despite his limited body) and shoots/crosses 10 times better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Two years ago Gradel couldn't get in a very poor leicester side and was sent on loan to Leeds in league 1 where he didn't feature in every game but only made ocasional sub appearances. Granted he is now a regular in the Championship but I seriously doubt whether he will ever make an EPL player! He is CCC level at best. Lua Lua is better than Gradel!
