I remember him saying to not just play in the Premier League, but "stay in it" as a parting shot.
As that man said, F*ck him. | |

I was quite pissed off the way he went, but reading that made me smile..:) | |

I'm sure the likes of Leon Britton told Dorus and Pratley not to leave. No one does well after leaving the Swans in the circumstances that they did. They did anyway. They thought they new better.
Thanks for your efforts while at the Swans.
You can both regret at your leisure. Languishing in the lower leagues. | |

Excellent player when he was with us. Disappointing how he left but he was thinking of his career and made a mistake. | | | |

He had the chance to be part of the success but instead chose the glamour (😂😂😂) of Wolves.
There you go!!!! | | | |

He'd have been on the bench soon enough here.
Never a PL standard keeper. | |

Worse than that, we probably would not have signed Vorm if we already had an established #1. He was fantastic first season and it could have turned out very differently had we started with Dorus's. | | | |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 07:07 - Jul 28 with 3867 views | AngelRangelQS |
Same with Pratley.
You may as well sit on the bench for 40k a week than 20k | | | |

Impossible to say....when he was here i remember us bresking clean sheet records and him being hailed by the fans. Whi would have thought Leon Britton would have had so much in the PL years ago? | | | |

The grass isn't always greener on the other pitch and rarely is for ex Swansea players. As a club we seem to get the best out of players. | |
| |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 08:06 - Jul 28 with 3706 views | Whiterockin |
Exactly. Players leaving us for "better clubs" has enabled us to grow and become a better club than the ones players left us for. | | | |

Serve him right. No loyalty whatsoever. | | | |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 09:25 - Jul 28 with 3526 views | perchrockjack |
Indeed.
This was ,in fairness, a time when we had some spectacularly overated players who got very lucky with us.
Pratley the biggest loss and without doubt the one who made the biggest mistake in moving when and where he did, but as is said, fookem | |
| |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 09:55 - Jul 28 with 3437 views | lifelong |
These spectacularly overrated players were the one's responsible for gaining us promotion to the Premier League, we didn't say fook em at the time.
Yes, they may have made a mistake, who hasn't?.
Good luck for the future Dorus and thanks for the memories. | | | |

Pratley was the easiest one to understand as he wasn't getting in our starting 11. I think it was a tactic to let him go box to box against tiring legs rather than a reflection on his ability, but if I was playing 20-30 minutes a game and a bigger (at the time) club came in and promised me more money and game time, I'd have gone too. | | | |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 10:32 - Jul 28 with 3345 views | raynor94 |
Great post, I'm with you Dorus was a good servant whilst here, made a mistake in leaving, but we got better in, so no hard feelings from me | |
| |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 10:44 - Jul 28 with 3310 views | perchrockjack |
Forgive me friends for that little piece of nostalgia.
I can face the rest of the day now | |
| |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 10:46 - Jul 28 with 3308 views | jack247 |
Spectacularly overrated is harsh. Many of that team were on the cusp of being very, very good championship players but below average Premier league players. I'd put Dorus, Monk, Tate, Gower, Pratley, Dobbie, perhaps even Sinclair and Borini into that category. | | | |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 10:48 - Jul 28 with 3300 views | irememberivor |
We should all be happy that he went. I never rated him highly, and there is no doubt that Vorm was a great keeper for us in our first Premier League season. I have a strong feeling that De Vries could even have taken us down - or at least been replaced in the January window. | | | |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 10:52 - Jul 28 with 3293 views | Whiterockin |
6 of that 8 won us the play off final the other 2 came off the bench. The rest of the starting 11 are still with us apart from Allen. | | | |
| Dorus De Vries lol on 11:12 - Jul 28 with 3250 views | perchrockjack |
Gower most certain WAS-IMO. He was once refered to as "great".
De VRIES and crosses- have a think
Pratley was a very good player for us.
ALL ABOUT OPINIONS CHIEF and IM OUT | |

| Dorus De Vries lol on 12:12 - Jul 28 with 3146 views | Devz00 |
Great to see him admit that it was the wrong move. I was gutted when he went but it was the best thing for us. Never a Prem keeper. Vorm was a huge upgrade. | |
