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?

 

[Gors Buster]

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.

Potentially have to change this to VP
if he keeps this up

It's Galbraith without question at present, he is class.

I will say this because I want to get it off my chest, we are going to lose a lot of money on Idah though.

Daps, I agree he hasn't had the best start, but he's had 1 substitute appearance and 1 start against a PL team in a much-changed side. Maybe we should learn a lesson from Vipotnik and not write another striker off far too early?

Idah had precious little service, I think we put in only one cross for him to attack all game and almost never played the ball into his feet or gave him a chance to isolate a defender one v one

Like with Vipotnik he either needs time to adapt to how we play or we need to play to his strengths

Agree with what you are saying and you are spot on in the bigger picture.
I'm hoping I am wrong. Its just based on my gut feeling with him and there was a moment 2nd half where there was a straight forward around the back door pass for him into Benson yesterday, not only did he fail to play the pass but he was totally unaware it was on and his touch or should I say touches after receiving the ball were very worrying.

I must also add, I was one of a few who have said that there is a player in Vipotnik. My concern regards Vipotnik is if he goes a game or 2 without a goal then he will quickly be replaced by Idah.

Off topic a bit from me, apologies

Galbraith though.....what a gem of a player we have.

We haven't paid such a large fee (for us) on a player to get splinters in his arse. We're in a lucky position to have a bit of depth in that area.

The jersey should belong to whoever is doing what they are in the side to do. In this case it's scoring goals.

You have hit my concern right on the head, it might come down to the fee we paid.

Obviously for such a large outlay that player is going to be favourite. If someone else is banging them in on a regular basis it's unfair to drop them because of a fee.

I think sheehan should be in the mix here
