Another one going

Good timing for both, get them integrated into the staff asap

 

[Nice to Michu]

Strange it says he’s leaving the Swans and nothing retirement wise? He’s continuing playing ?

End up being bigger than the playing squad, understand the sentiment but in football there really isn’t room for sentiment.

Does that suggest that the offers we made to him (and presumably Allen) were a large reduction on their current wages? Sad as it will be to see them go, that would indicate sensible decisions are being made around finances now.

Experience can't be overlooked. I am sure we will see one, if not both, as part of the setup next year

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

Ruthless from the new decision-makers (at least on Naughts, we imagine), but both correct decisions. Kyle and Joe will both go down as two of the great modern Swans players, but their time has come, and we can't afford to keep spending on aging players. Best of luck to him!

In his interview he says he's 90+% sure he's retiring.

 

[WentToSchoolWith]

Nice to see that he'll end on a satisfyingly round 300 league appearances assuming he plays tomorrow

 

[Nice to Michu]

I can see them both starting on weekend and coming off after 60

 

[AusinIsOurHero]

Deserves a good send off

 

[Skippyjack]

Not surprising, the quality of pass is still there with the both of them, but they just can't run anymore, Joe especially was blowing out of his a*se at HT most weeks

Wasn't always the most popular of players was KN. Endured more than his fair share of scapegoating during our last few seasons in the Prem, but always someone I rated. Glad to see the appreciation for him now.

Rarely less than a 7/10 performance whenever he pulled on the shirt. Nothing flashy, rarely big heroics, just a dependable presence game after game.

Not going to be easy to replace.

He’s come so far since the PL days where he often looked lost on the pitch.

I think his level was always upper Championship football, and what a job he has done for us since we entered this league.
