The 'Andrea Orlandi from Swansea' thread (merged)

[Turkey]

Can someone remind of the last attacking central midfield player who we signed from Swansea after him not playing much? Just saying.

He hasn't played much in the Prem but he played regularly in the Championship. I remember watching him play for them on TV. He's a good player.

Same here.

He did mean Harley.

Did Harley ever play a game for Swansea after the first couple of pre-season friendlies? I remember seeing him quoted as saying he was the best footballer at the club when he signed, then seeing a couple of reports frfom their fans about how dire he was, then he signed for us

I actually think he is a very good player if his head is right - a bit of a Murray type. He loved it at Exeter where he was head and shoulders their best player but struggles to make an impact in a squad where he is not the focus of adoration from his peers.

Nope!

Orlandi is a class player at Championship level although his career has been beset with injuries. He hasn't really had a chance in the Premier League, although he did have a great game at Villa last January and again a superb 1st half against Wolves late last season - scored an early goal and had an assist - before again leaving the field injured.

From what I saw last Saturday, he's do a great job for The Albion (if this report is true)

Sounds good but we have to many injury prone players as it is

I'd love this to be true, very good replacement for Sparrow. And would challenge Dicker.

 

[kevtherev]

Do we really need a fifth wide man when we only ever play one?

 

[Biscuit]

Would be a very good addition.

 

[empire]

was told early thismorning that he was signing today or tom,and a new striker by weekend

 

[Jack Daniels]

It's on football rumours if the helps.

It needs to be by Friday if the striker is to be a permanent move?

Ah well, that's that one done.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Has Gus finally realised Dickers shortcomings and looking for someone to play that role ?

this

 

[empire]

this

maybe?also another titbit,we are NOT letting any of the keepers go,all staying put,so im told

 

[Bladders]

Ah well, that's that one done.

Its been on there for hours, I'm surprised no one noticed.

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Would definitely give Dicker and Harley competition, but this is only a Rumour. A Striker is the top priority.

Read that in the Argus in fairness.

Putting you "in the frame" for Orlandi and a striker though
