Speculation Wayne Routledge

[Miles Away]

Just how much money does Sven have?

I know we havent' actually signed Maynard or Routledge (yet), but the fact that we are putting bids in for these players after already coughing up 5M for Mills is pretty remarkable.

Tell you what though, the pressure on Sven will be immense if he does get the players he wants and we aren't pissing it by Xmas.

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

This would be a good buy at that price, a player proven at this level. I read of Swansea's interest today so if we get him ahead of them I'd be surprised, Swansea play some good football and I'd have expected them to do well, but haven't they lost some good players? The keeper and Pratley both went.

Please, would be a great player and I could see him fitting in really nicely with what has been built so far.

Swansea in the box seat, according to the article, the deal could see Neil Taylor going to St James' Park.

I think the daily mail is amore credible source. We can't really complain if he chooses the premier league over the championship, would rather he joined them than one of our rivals atleast! But if we get him he would be a good buy, another one at a good age, reasonable price bla bla etc

....would welcome a move to the Walkers Stadium.

Where's that then?

 

[ch4mbo]

The Swansea article says they've approached newcastle, the mail says we've had a bid accepted and we're in talks with him. Big difference if true. Would be a great signing, especially if Sven decides to revert back to a 4-4-2

Anything is more credible than the Chronicle. Any newspaper that regularly uses the word 'pals' has no credibility.

How dare he contradict Mother Shipton.

 

[Swissfox]

Routledge it is then.

Now one more striker (and a third-choice goalkeeper?).

 

[Graz]

Routledge would be a brilliant signing. Would love it if this comes off.

 

[RHYDAL]

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

No, he's just a mercenary fecker. I'll guarantee if he's considering signing for you then you're offering the most in wages.
Is there no-one of you concerned at the amount of cash being splashed about this season?

 

[drummindefender]

I am, mainly worried about what happens if we don't go up this season

Agreed.. This spending spree could leave us up the creek!!

 

[Profondo Rosso]

This is much more exciting than sitting in mid-table signing sensibly priced players. If it all goes tits up so be it. they'll still be a football club here.

Yes, I understand that's reckless and naive of me, but at this point in time I'm just excited about the direction we seem to be going in and don't care. :icon_wink

 

[escos66]

I'm not too worried as the players we are signing have mostly been wanted by other clubs and are young enough to be sold on. However if we were signing big name has beens, I would be a tad nervous.
