hopefully its not too serious, i thought he was an under rated player for us at the time.

Wasn’t he a skilful player but a bit injury prone?

Frustrating player was Andrea. Seemed to have it all, but would only produce it in spasms.

Offered very little, plenty of sideways and backward 5 yard passes. How often can you remember him having a real influence on a game.

Leon britton made a career of doing just that and is rightly a swans legend. From what i remember as has been mentioned when he wasnt injured he was a neat skillful midfielder.

That crazy Wolves match ner the end of the season, when Brendan decided to try 3 at the back for once, was pretty much his highlight.

Sounds as though he's been lucky to get away with playing.

That was a mad game fair play. Orlandi was an ok squad player but like Monk,Tate,Gower and Butler should never have been near the Swans premier league team really, Brendan was sweet on sentimentality and some will probably say righty so in this case, those boys made the journey together after all.

He used to leave every summer, only to return when no one else was silly enough to sign him.

saw him playing somewhere like TNS or Newtown for a Greek team in a Champion's League qualifier when he actually left us.

Good luck Andrea.

Bollox

You weren’t at Villa on New Year’s Day when we won our first ever Away Premier League game then when Orlandi was excellent

He lacked pace but was always decent cover throughout his swans career

Agree And 👍

The ‘Spanish influence’ within our squad was a most enjoyable period in our rise to the PL I believe, they all contributed at some stage and in some shape or form and aside from the obvious ones like Angel, Michu, Chico and Pablo, the likes of Pozuelo, Orlandi and Canas also contributed and were good to watch at times but that spiky ‘Mediterranean character’ was always there and so frustrating and unpredictable !

Sorry, how could I forget ........’Oh Guillem Bauza, you are the love of my life ....’ 👍😉🤣

Odd how Orlandi, Pintado and Serran played in Cyprus and two of them ended up in India for a spell. Did they all share the same agent?

Serran in particular had quite a career. It must be pretty grim turning up in Albania and not playing a game, packing your bags for Morocco and the same again in India.

Another who played his part in our rise & towards establishing the Swansea way.
A little light weight and inconsistent but still a dream to watch when on form.

Forgot about those two (were they actually Spanish or perhaps South American or something else ???).

Pintado has to be a hero just for his tackle on ‘Lilly Savage’ if ever a red was genuinely worth it, it was certainly that one !! And Roberto said he was a £7M player (very big money back then) but he simply drifted off into the sunset don’t know where he went after leaving us ?

Serrano was CB if I remember did he go to Leeds and improved (a bit) after he left us ?

Bollox - Gorka got the ball and the ref bottled it.
(Love watching that back.)
At least 4 Derby players should have been red carded especially as they'd done the same v Forest.

If you are comparing leon britton with orlandi you are having a huge laugh. One was influential in hundreds of swans matches and the other one well.

He was talented, just shied away from the physical side a little too much. McKay is similar in that regard.

Anyway hope he has a good retirement.
