To be honest, I don't think he was good enough for Palace, let along Spurs, Villa or Portsmouth. Simon Jordan got it right when he said that Routledge should have stayed at Palace for longer, as he'd probably have ended up a decent (although probably no more than that) player.
To be honest, I think Villa only bought him because we didn't do a lot transfer-wise in January. The fact that he's only made 2 first-team appearances since then pretty much tells you all you need to know, particularly when you take into account the fact that we had a tiny squad last season.
