OK, here goes; Watching the play-off game last night, it seemed obvious to me that the guy Routledge had pace, power, control, crossing ability, dribbling and could hold the ball when there were no passes on. Not only that, but he did''nt resort to diving over weak tackles to con fouls and his attitude seemed fantastic, no mouthing off at decisions, just hard work. Bearing in mind our midfield requirements, he looked comfortable all across, particularly wings. Several questions occurred to me 1. How old is he/ where did palace get him from? 2. Is he really as good as I thought/ i.e. i he already rated at £5m? 3. Ideally we might stand a chance of getting him if Palace lose promotion, well we don''t want Ipswich or W.Ham getting promoted do we? 4. Anyone got the general lowdown on him, opinions etc. Cheers all
