POTY 2015
Poll: Biggest signing so far in January? (just curious what Planet Swans thinks)

Siggy, Carroll, Mesa, Ki


I don't think Britton and Mesa would be on the pitch at the same time. And PC rated Ki higher than Fer at the end of last season using Ki, Caroll and Britton as first choice cm's with Fer coming on as a sub. So I think it would be like that

I thought about including Ki in the mix, but didn't think anyone would pick him.

Tummer, you may well be correct (I suspect not) but what is telling for me is that you left out a midfielder who has previously played in the diamond, based upon your "belief"... proof that you really are from Texas

My belief was based on seeing Ki consistently get ripped apart on this board the last two seasons anytime his name is brought up, not my own feelings. I still believe there is at least a chance 2014/2015 Ki can resurrect himself, and I've stated that openly.

But we don't even know when he'll be fit again, which was another reason for leaving him out. Perhaps think of this as a start of the season poll.

Firstly...sense of humour?

Secondly, your belief was based upon internet comments and NOT WHAT YOU'VE OBSERVED this season...WOW!

Still weeks to go and his fitness is an issue...really?

Well he actually played well under PC end of last season.. still got hate. Just like Naughton.. there is always a player to blame. I agree both have not been consistent but under PC both have shown to be good players who work well in his system. I think its because they moved Gylfi higher up the pitch and he had a mix of central/wide player.. giving Ki more room to make some runs and passes... leaving britton and caroll be a little more defensive.


-----------------Fabianski------------------
Naughton-----AM------Fede-------Ollson
---------Mesa------Ki-------Carrol
Ayew-----------Llorente-----------Gylfi

Subs: New Keeper, VDH/Bartley, Kingsley, Britton, Fer, Narsingh, Abraham

with Ayew and gylfi cutting in/moving wide, I think this is how the whole set up would look (unless we sign more players).

Okay then, I made a joke about your pot ...Texan belief over fact etc. You come back with a "straight" reply justifying your stance.

I thought Ki improved under clement. I was surprised that you let the internet "view" leave him out of your poll...the same poll which potentially may have surprised/pleased you.

You mad, bro!


*post, not pot






p.s. You lost me.

Further to this discussion my view is that Siggy and mesa are always there and depending on the opposition and whether home or away then you pick from Carroll/Fer, Leon/Ki .

Take Siggy out of the mix (impending sale) and then it gets complicated.

Ki is currently out injured, so I don't mind him being off of the list.

Last two games he played well but we can't rely on that.

I think it'll be Fer early in the season, considering he started last year so well. He'll fall off, we'll switch to Cork/Britton at CDM and Mesa out on the right.

Where's the Amat, Ki, Cork and Routledge option?

Leon shouldn't be a regular starter, so delete options 1, 5 and 6.

We need 2 players who can tackle who I suppose are Cork and Fer, so I'd select Syggi, Cork, Fer and Mesa.

Top 3 vote getters so far are the 3 options with Carroll. I certainly agree with that.

So it's overwhelmingly Syggi, Carroll, Mesa and one other.
