Crystal Palace chairman Simon Jordan has sent out a warning to former starlet John Bostock that he could end up like Wayne Routledge.Jordan had wanted £5million for the promising youngster, who made his debut aged just 15 for Palace last October, but the tribunal settled on a fee of £700,000 rising to a possible £1.25million.
Jordan claimed the outcome was 'scandalous' and warned Bostock that he could end up like another former Palace youngster, Wayne Routledge, who left to join Spurs in 2005.
He said: "While I wouldn't want to waste my breath giving advice to John, look at Wayne Routledge. He took the chance to join Spurs, but where is he now? When Spurs came knocking I told Wayne to stay and learn his trade at Palace.
"But he went, he grabbed the money, and now he's at Villa not getting in the first team, just like he didn't get in the Spurs team, just like he didn't get in the Portsmouth team and just like he didn't get in the Fulham team."
Routledge made just five appearances for Spurs in his two and a half years with the north London side.
