Which Player Goes For Biggest Fee?

[Smurph]

Ten players on that list, could possibly add Tymon and Key as well.

When was the last time we had a squad with so much potential?

Cabango or Galbraith

Cabango looking very, very good under Sheehan.

If that's your opinion of the current team, I'm amazed you managed to endure the last 4 seasons and still follow the team!

I would say your analysis of Franco is flawed. I'm not saying he's anywhere near Leon's level, but Britton scored just 17 goals in 520 games for us (can't find his assist numbers as they weren't tracked, but can't imagine he'd have that many) and no-one is saying he was overrated.

Franco brought far more to the team last season than goals and assists, while I remember multiple posts saying that if he was a better finisher he never would have ended up here. He's yet to catch fire this season, but if you think our player of last season is that bad, I'd say you're maybe not the best judge of players.

The last 4 seasons have been hard to endure and It's been so bad that I have lost the love of the sport. I basically only watch Swans games now and maybe the Sunday 4:30 game. Darts has taken over football in my household now, my kids have completely lost interest with the Swans that's how much damage Russell Martin and Luke Williams have done and unfortunately for me I can't help but find Sheehan's football boring too. Large majority of our games still looks like walking football.

Leon Britton was the defensive holding midfielder, I can excuse him for lack of goals. Franco is playing further ahead and 2 goals and 2 assists is a poor return after 45 games. I am not saying he is a bad player, I just think he's overrated, he won't be threatening the premier league scouts. He is a defensive midfielder playing in a more advanced role and he just doesn't have the skills.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. We may disagree about Franco, but I do see your point.

I haven't been a season ticket holder since the takeover and it's only been the last couple of seasons that my boy has wanted to go to games, so I haven't had to sit through a lot of the sludge of the last few seasons. I do wonder if I'd have stopped going if I had remained a season ticket holder during those years.
