Orlandi Has Signed

[Yorkshire-Gull]

I think people are overhyping him a bit. In his 5 years at Swansea, he made less than 15 appearances a year and only scored 4 goals in that time! Isn't e meant to be injury-prone aswell? Slightly underwhelmed to say the least

 

[PriapismBoy]

He only has a rating of 64 on FIFA

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Very happy now he is here. Just seriously hope this isn't the only one.

Another fantastic signing to what is becomimg a really competitive championship side. Its amazing how far we have come in three seasons under Gus especially when you considor he has a tight wage cap at this level.

Anyone who is underwhelmed by the Albion at the moment must have lost their way to Stamford Bridge or the City of Manchester Stadium

I just can't get excited by us signing an injury-prone Swansea reserve, not that great a deal

Honest opinion, gladly proven wrong

He's probably not going to be brilliant, but he doesn't have to be. How many wingers do we need on the field at one time? We have:
Vicente, Buckley, LuaLau and now Orlandi. He's just a part of the squad, and I expect a very useful addition.
So as well as our wingers we have Bridcutt, Crofts and Dicker, with others as backup.

Not every signing we make has to be the gem. Noone out and Orlandi in, with cash our way to put towards a striker seems pretty good.

This.

Will reserve judgement until I see him but these stats hardly make great reading particularly when he is supposed to have been playing for a team that plays a similar style of football - why so few appearances?

4 goals in 15 is good from midfield.

Comes across as a good lad, very professional. Looking forward to seeing him play.

 

[Yorkshire-Gull]

Eh? He made 30 appearances in 09/10 and 20 in 10/11 (according to Wikipedia). Hardly less than 15 a year.

Its the average over his 5 years at Swansea. He played in a mid-table Swansea side, and was then left on the bench/ in the reserves for the last 2 years, when they've got better, from what the appearances suggest. . I stand to be mistaken, just prepared to be underwhelmed

He posted yesterday on the speculation about Orlandi thread. Seemed very positive.
