Guest Roger Kint Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 They will need to replace him. Well obviously however that wasnt even close to the point they were making. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Venkman Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Pretty sure he was in the training photos, could have gone later I suppose. Edit: is that the lad?: Defo Routledge there. Who's no. 15? He's fooking massive. Is it the Goslingator? With new shorter hair maybe. Aye, looks like Dan Gosling. has he got massiver? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Linked with Leicester a few weeks ago and Sunderland as recently as last night, albeit on a crappy Skirgetastic rumours website. Don't see why the Mackems would fancy another keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toon25 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 How much did we pay for Routledge? Am sure it was about 1 or 1.5 mil. Might be wrong. I remember thinking at the time that it was a great deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colocho Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 How much did we pay for Routledge? Pretty sure it was undisclosed. Probably between £1m-1.5m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 What's the point? Of swapping them? To get a young player that may be capable of making the step up for a player that has proven he cannot perform consistently at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If those deals actually existed in modern football, i'd be happy to take a punt on a straight swap - based purely on the reports for McGugan. I already know that Routledge isn't up to much in this league. No risk situation seeing if this other chap is any good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Big Al Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 What's the point? To save money of course and in the same time to imitate some transfer action... How would it save money? In the form of not paying any money [if a straight swap as suggested], attracting a player and releasing one. Thus, no transfer fee, offsetting wages and showing the fans that they are working on new recruits. Outcome: Same numbers, no outlay. So they can say that they've attracted a new body, but in fact it's a freebie [sort of]. Most probably, Rout's wages are higher than these of McWhatever guy.

What a s*** question, honestly. Seen it many times - and it's obviously not about that. We have every opportunity to spend big and get our self some proper quality players now. It's not about spending money. It's about us needing to spend to get the really quality ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Flash Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 If we spent some serious money (on transfer fees) I think we'd get some fantastic players in. We're (now) not ones to waste a penny with transfers and can clearly negotiate very well so It'd be interesting to see who we could attract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 Some quotes from that Marco Pappa. http://www.goal.com/es/news/21/fichajes/2011/07/08/2566510/exclusiva-mercado-me-gustar%C3%ADa-más-jugar-en-españa-confiesa-marco- Villarreal and Newcastle are two of the clubs to have made firm offers to take the talented midfielder, and Guatemala's number 16 has stated that La Liga would be his preference meaning the Yellow Submarine would be in pole position. "For the quality of La Liga, I would prefer Spain, but I think any league in the world would be good for me. I hope it's not all rumours, but I will continue to work and take things step-by-step".
