Cronky Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 A lot of managers have wanted to harness SWP's talent, including a string of England managers and Mourinho, was was prepared to pay £20 million for him. He's got something. I gather that he started off as a striker, and I've often wanted to see how he'd manage in that Beardsley-type free role, linking midfield and attack. He's been operating out wide, where I think his defensive limitations get exposed and he ends up a bit marginalised. He's also got a terrific long-range shot, so why not stick him in the centre. It feels like, throughout his career, he's ended up being given less responsibility, rather than more. I'm not saying it would definitely work, but it's worth a go.

JH Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 f*** off to SWP, Keane and Woodgate. SWP - not the qualities we need, costly (salary) Keane - costly, been s*** for a good while Woodgate - Are people seriously interested in this player?? He is a walking injury ffs. What a load of utter rubbish. Fair enough, say you don't want him for money/age reasons, but the suggestion that he's 's***' is ludicrous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Split on SWP really. I personally think he is better than Routledge but then we have Barton playing his best football on the right and Routledge is adequate back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberto2005 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Surely folk would take Keane. He's several leagues above the other options to partner Carroll. Only on loan which I'm pretty sure won't be an option. Keane is as you said clearly miles ahead our other options to partner Carroll, however he's only going to get worse and for the amount he'd cost (5m-6m) I think it would be a waste of money considering we aren't in the shit in terms of needing a big boost to improve our survival chances. I don't think it would be a gamble not signing another striker because I think we'll stay up pretty comfortably and then can look at improving our squad short and long term in the summer.

Beren Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If we're low on funds I'd rather look for a longer-term option than Keane with available funds, personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Monkey Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Wright-Phillips?? That shows how much Pardew is living in the past - it's been many years since SWP was deemed an adequate footballer. He's no better than what we have now, and what we have isn't great.

merlin Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Wright-Philips is a better winger than Routledge by some distance - would be a good loan signing but his wages(and also ,now, his age) rule him out as a permanent signing...the same facts also apply to Keane but he too would be a plus for the squad as a loan signing. Both would give far more attacking options than the side currently possesses. Barton is a good passer of the ball but lacks the pace to play permanently on the wing. As for Woodgate, his time has long gone - great defender when fit but too many issues. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, SWP is capable of playing football at a completely different level from Routledge. As for Keane, there seems to be no end of clubs where he's joined with high expectations, and ended up on the bench. I think we'd just be another.

Dokko Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 If Adam johnson is available for loan then we've got to do everything we can to bring him here. Reckon there's a big chance he'd seek a permanent move once playing fr us as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
