Guest bimpy474 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Watching Swansea/Arsenal. Still can't believe we binned Routeledge. Granted we needed a little better but twice the player Obertan is. I was wondering with this one, i can kind of see what Pardew was thinking with Routledge (he's a much better player now imo than he was when at us). But the Obertan signing is baffling as his replacement. I can only think he thought Obertan would be better because Ferguson bought him, and he was at Man Utd learning for a couple of years. I dunno really because Obertan is total shite like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Another one we were right to try and replace, but who we replaced awfully. I guess Pards thought Obertan would be better at protecting his full back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Obertan is more skilled than Routledge but has zero confidence or brain to use his skills. Routledge actually uses his brain for picking out passes and when in possession. He is also much more direct than Ober too, reminds of a more direct but less skilled version of Marveaux. Ironically if the latter was as direct he could easily be staking a claim for a starting position. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was full of tricks and scored a few goals. I actually thought his finishing was good as he scored a couple goals for them in pre season and for the Junior French team. He needs to be sold now. Two very poor seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Obertan scoring a very good hat trick in a reserve game against us for Man Utd. Dunno if that was when Pardew was manager and he maybe saw it. Whether he did or not, if he watched Obertan for just a couple of games he would have seen how crap he actually is. Then again he refused to drop Jonas despite how bad he was playing. Part of life i guess, some people see things differently to others, and plenty of other football managers see players in a strange way. Jose with Mata, Moyes with Kagawa as examples.

Although at least he didn't give the ball away in the build-up to the goal, unlike every other time he touched it... His counter attack just summed him up. Got the pace to keep running at goal. Some how allows the ball behind him and slows the counter attack to a halt and loses the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
