Speculation Wayne Routledge

[SJN-Fox]

The Mockery are saying that we are interested ...

Meanwhile, Routledge is highly sought after, with Queens Park Rangers, West Ham United and Birmingham City all said to be interested in the 26-year-old winger.

Routledge has experienced promotion from the Championship three times, with Crystal Palace, Newcastle and with QPR last season.

Blues' new boss Chris Hughton is said to be waiting to swoop after Routledge's proposed permanent switch to Loftus Road stalled, but City are also poised and it is understood the player would welcome a move to the Walkers Stadium.

With his boss currently in court in Hong Kong on money laundering charges, I reckon Chris Hughton is going to have a long wait......

Out on bail!

Out on bail!

Money laundering, surely he'd have his assets frozen for a while with something like that!

£600k spent on it though. Doubt he's going to be forking out much cash for Brum at the moment

that too

'.....shares of the club's parent company, suspended on Thursday, may start again now he has been bailed.'

Even so, as a player, it would put me off joining Birmingham at this moment.

No fun - having yer assets frozen!

 

[dpjfox]

this potential deal fizzled out quick!

From what I'm making up I hear this could be done tomorrow.

Did it? Who did he sign for?

 

[Graz]

Routledge would be a very good signing. I would love us to get some decent wingers in.

Obviously not all these rumours/deals will come off, but I'm liking the thought of what our team could be this year...

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere but (according to the Daily Mail):

Routledge to snub Swansea and QPR and join Sven at Leicester in £1.5m move

Now this I would probably like

Same. Routledge + a good striker and suddenly our squad is starting to look really strong. Especially, if the Vitor and Mee deals go through as well.

 

[drummindefender]

My only concerns would be (though arguably unjustified) is why has he had so many clubs? Is he a bad egg?

Agreed, I think a player like Routledge is just what we need and Ben Mee would sort out the left back problem or at least act as cover for center back or left back. Vitor again would be at the very least cover for center back if not playing alongside Mills.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

A lot of them are loan clubs to lesser teams so I would suggest it is just because he wasn't considered good enough for those Prem teams. Is certainly more than good enough for this level though.

I think in our current position we are a more promising prospect compared to QPR/Norwich/Swansea.I think players will have Blackpool in mind; Promoted using shrewd signings and a good team spirit only to come straight back down (despite some fantastic displays).

Whereas with us even before we have been promoted we are attracting players of Mills and The Yak's caliber and have owners that are improving every area of the team. Maybe this will work in our favor?

Just look at players like Marlon Harewood. Joined Blackpool and never really took his chance on a regular basis. Now he has ended up in China!

I get the sense with Routledge he's stuck in the middle of the Championship and the Premiership in terms of ability. He's definitely good enough to tear apart most Championship sides and not good enough to produce at Premiership level.
