The Fish 10978 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Wanting 20k a week when Alan Smith is on 60k is having an ego? Having an ego isn't dependant on other peoples having big egos, shirley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having an ego isn't dependant on other peoples having big egos, shirley. Came across wrong. I don't think it's unfair for a player like Larsson to want 20k when there's wasters in the side on much more. Asking for 20k as a fairly decent Premier League footballer is basically the average as well so there's no ego involved at all. Like someone said, how many bullets will we dodge until we realise there's no fucker coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22200 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Disappointing as he'd of provided quality service for the big man. Let's be honest though...he was on 10k and wanted to at least double his wages coming here. We don't want that kinda ego in the dressing room. Clearly didn't want to be part of what we are doin here. Let's just see if they can find someone better. Another unknown African with tilted commitment but with a bit of guile would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 22200 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Bentley to Birmingham confirmed. Say what you want about him and Larsson but either would have definitely improved our squad. Can only hope we've got other options on the go because we're really short on depth. bentley would have been a quality signing, even on a loan deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7581 Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Would have improved our squad that's for sure. Not being held to ransom on wages is one thing, but if they keep scrimping we'll end up with noone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14094 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 20k for a player who would improve the squad for a bit is hardly breaking the bank, man. I'd agree it was a foolish deal if he wanted 40-50k a week but we desperately need options off the bench and Larsson would provide it. He'd do a job for us tbh and you're not going to get any better for less than 20k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6802 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Yeah, he wanted parity with Jerome on £25k per week. Cameron Jeromes agent must be the best in the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Routledge isn't the right man for a derby match, without a new player down the right our options are extremely limited. I don't like the idea of anyone but Tiote playing alongside Nolan in the middle, so perhaps play Nolan in behind Carroll with Barton and Guthrie in the middle and Routledge on the right and Jonas on the left.

Barney 0 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think Routledge has proven himself to be utter shite. Even against Wigan, who were pressing, he'd beat his man with ease and seemed incapable of putting the ball into the box. He was terrible on the weekend and he should only be used as an impact sub if ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7581 Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 ... or he should beat his man, and get his head up so that he can make a pass instead of putting in a blind cross. There's plenty of value in being able to beat a man even if you can't cross. Mentally it will make their players back off and will give us more time on the ball. Beat your man and make a short pass. It's defensively that I worry about Routledge, he seems to do quite a bit of running in defense but has no patience, diving in too often and is poor positionally. Larsson from the half that I watched reads the game a hell of a lot better and is good positionally in defense, not overcommitting himself in attack and picking up off the ball runs.

Dyer was fucking superb at that. Link up with Nobby, hi the by-line and cut it back for Shearer. Routlegde seems thick as mince out there at times though.

Guest alex Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Routledge has shown some of last season's form of late. He hasn't exactly won me over but he doesn't look completely out of his depth like he did earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smith is garbage and would most likely get sent off and Gutherie is a pathetic excuse for a premiership footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
