smithy01 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Sheffield Wednesday are being linked with a move for Swansea City winger Wayne Routledge. The 27-year-old moved to the Liberty Stadium last August from Queens Park Rangers for an undisclosed fee and made 17 starts in the Premier League for the Swans as well as 11 appearances off the subs’ bench. Routledge worked with Wednesday boss Dave Jones during a brief loan spell at Cardiff City in 2008-09 when Jones was boss of the Bluebirds and according to The People he could be on his way to Hillsborough in a £2million deal. However, Jones may instead turn to Michail Antonio, who had a successful loan spell at the Owls from Reading towards the end of the season. Discussions between the two clubs are said by the Sheffield Star to be on-going over a deal worth around £400,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wilyfox Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 this rumour surfaced the other day; would be quality, but i doubt there's any truth in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 As nice as it is to have strength in the transfer market I don't anticipate us spending £2m on anybody. Not really all that clued up on Routledge. Isn't he one of those players that was highly rated for a while years back and has since done nothing but bobbing along at various clubs?

smithy01 Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 been away for a week so not heard about it but I doubt milan is gunna splash the cash like that... unless we are looking for 1 marquee signing already having signed a couple of quality players free gratis.. could definatley do the job in championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does really well in the Championship - certainly did at Newcastle - but isn't up to the top flight. I'd be flabbergasted if we signed him. In fact we won't.

Guest foreverSWFC Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Would be a fantastic signing, but can't see it to be honest, Leicester probs sign him up. Regards Sky rockets in flight, afternoon delight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 If we were to push the boat out to suchan extent I would n't be wasting such a sum on Routledge or Chris McGuire for that matter. However, McGuires baby strike partner, 15 year old Mason Bennett that is another matter, What a capture he would be ....Never seen such power and ability in a 15 year old (Maybe 16 now). Fingers crossed we put a shot across the bows with an enquiry regarding McGuire in order to snuggle up close to Bennett. Mason Bennett the name to watch !

Sorry absolutely no chance, Mason Bennett is a real talent, does not look 15, he look bout 20! Anyway apparently Chelsea and Tottenham are looking at him. It is a name to watch, but not in a million years will Mason join Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiegod Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 dont think well be dishing out 2 million on any1 but hope we do...... i think we need to spend 4-5 million at least if milan wants us to challenge for play offs or better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sniper1 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wayne Routledge gets teams promoted to the Premiership. Never really delivered in the premiership, not sure why. If we are going for that one big signing then this wouldnt be a bad one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Wouldn't want us to spend 2m on him. I guess that we could bring in both Henri Lansbury and Michail Antonio for that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plonk Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Can't see it happening tbh. But aint it nice to be linked with this sort of quality while our neighbour are looking in the dustbins for a freebie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cabangaowl Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Played against Bennett a few times but played centre back and he still ran the game.. scored from his own half as well :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zico sterland Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Doubt Swansea want to sell and doubt even more we would pay anywhere near 2 million for him ,id want Sinclair of them for that type of fee !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moralturpitude Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Season long loan might suit Swansea if he's not seen as a regular & they were trying to free up some wage budget - as others have said, his track record in the 2nd tier would make it a top deal.
