The 'Andrea Orlandi from Swansea' thread (merged)

[Postman Pat]

What would an eponymous company be called if he went into business with our chairman?

Anthony & Andrea's? Sounds like an Ice-Cream parlour to me.....

Oh.... Andrea's blooms.... a florist.

Orlandi, Ob bla da, he scored one, Orlandi yes he scored one

 

[garethjamesuk]

Going by the vid, he looks like a MASTER of the slide-rule pass.

My FAVOURITE kind of pass.

Yeah his vision is exceptional and also he seems to not mind working for them and chasing back tackling, i think this is the type of player that Poyet loves, someone good on the ball, can beat a man and seems to have the end product, also played at a higher level than Nooney so very happy with this bit of business when it goes through.

 

[Rugrat]

Genuine question. Can someone educate me about this fella?

Seems to have spent a large chunk of his career playing for Spanish B teams and apart from a season and a half under Martinez never really established himself at Swansea, and only scored a couple of goals in 50+ games. The fans seem delighted he might leave. Couple of failed trials with 2nd rate European teams.

Am I looking at the right bloke?

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Possible song?

To the tune of Zamora, Zamora etc...

Orlandi, Orlandi.

SIMPLES

Its a good team isnt it, with Barnes, Lua Lua, Dicker, Harley, Agdestein on the bench.

 

[MattBackHome]

Can he stay fit?

There's a serious BINFESTATION (thanks whoever that was earlier on) on the Swans board regarding whether or not they would drive him down here themselves.

 

[Weststander]

Orlandi poised to join us, according to Argus @ 12.15 today

Hopefully it's based on facts, and they are not scouring nsc for leads.

 

[public school boy]

Very happy with this If true. Looks exactly the type of player Gus would go for. Hopefully our medical team can work magic on him like they did with Vicente and Bridge.

we don't need another injury prone player.

 

[Camicus]

Naylors a **** carry on

 

[TSB]

12.15?

Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole, Orlandi, Orlandi....

Orlandi, You came and you left without taking
And you leave me today! Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrlandi.
You kissed me and stopped me from shakin
And i need you today, Orlandi

[Half Man Half Biscuit]

Just dialed up a Swansea season ticket holder for the Bobby on Orlandi: "He's good. Classy but not brilliant. Like a slightly less good Jordi Gomez. Good Championship squad player, willing and eager to get the ball. You wouldn't want to rely on him solely to create chances and he's lightweight defensively."

 

[Pavilionaire]

In amongst all this transfer speculation furore I'm feeling quite sad for Barnes, who is almost always excluded from our 'Dream XI'.

I think I'd feel worse about Barnes leaving than I do about Noone leaving.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

So we're selling one Welsh club a good player and getting an average one back from another Welsh club?

We're getting dudded by the Welsh!

 

[MattBackHome]

The next couple of days is going to be mental isn't it.

 

[finlaych]

He's played for Barcelona and his joint best attributes on football manager are flair, technique, dribbling, crossing, first touch, longs shots and passing

 

[Gwylan]

In amongst all this transfer speculation furore I'm feeling quite sad for Barnes, who is almost always excluded from our 'Dream XI'.

I think I'd feel worse about Barnes leaving than I do about Noone leaving.

So would I but the fact is that Barnes is certainly in Poyet's Dream XI - he must be one of the first names on the teamsheet - think CMS would be dropped before Barnes
