Good luck Siggy! Without a doubt one of the best and one of my favourite players to pull on the Swans shirt in a long, long while. Been a great servant to our club. |  | | |  |

Well hopefully Leon Britton will slot a 30 yarder Saturday against United. |
Consistency doesn't mean scoring goals. Consistency means fulfilling your brief in your position or role. Scoring goals has never been the brief of a defensive midfielder, let alone Leon Britton. The playground football mentality some of our fans have is amazing at times, everything is based on goals. Freestone scored 3 for us too, doesn't mean he is a better keeper than Fabianski. |  |

But I don't think anyone (or very few at least) is saying that.
There's a pretty big chasm between an absolute gem for us and our best ever player. |
Very difficult to compare swans footballers of the past with present day swans footballers.
Just as it is with any past and present sporting greats.
But the pretty big chasm between Gylfi and our best, isn't quite as great as you're suggesting IMO. |  |

The people on here who think that siggy is the best ever swans player have been looking for a few fish to bite and obviously have caught a few
What p|sses me off is that the people these tvvats have been winding me up are really good posters ie Lisa
Fwiw i have mixed feelings re siggy as he was a fantastic player for us and will be tough to replace but he was a hard fit for the way that PC wants to play
He goes with my blessing and I hope he does well but not against us
Ps I will never boo him and people who do are complete tâ—‹ssers
Pps he doesn't get in my best ever swans 11 and shouldn't get in anyone else's either but that's just my opinion  |  | | |

What Swans player has been more consistent than Siggy in top flight football, ( I'd except Williams)
No lower division performances, please. |
Curtis. Robbie. Leighton. Jimmy. Ante. Michu. Leon. Williams.
And you've moved from 'best' to 'consistent'. Plus, you did say you were fishing - make your mind up, |  | | |

Has Britton really been more consistent than Siggy, in th PL ?
Yes consistency is the hall mark of greatness, Lisa.
Apart from williams, none of those players have been consistent in top flight football for the Swans. | | | |

And whilst siggy is a great player if itvwasnt for Leon we would have been relegated last season

Britton has been a great servant for the swans, a legend.
But , has he even been a starter for any Swans manager since we have been a PL team ?.
And when the transfer window closes and players are up to speed, expect Britton to be relegated to the bench, my friend. | | | |

Ridiculous, old chap. Yes Leon had a good end to the season, but let's not try and change history, without Siggys & Llorente goals , we'd have finished bottom. | | | |

He's the best free kick taker I've seen in a Swans kit but there's 8, 9 even 10 better footballers I've seen wear the kit.What he is, is he's the most valuable player we've ever had and that's confusing some people it seems. |  | | |

Without Fabiankis hands we would not have picked up a point. | |

Like many he is one of my fave swans of all time...throughout this season you could see on his face that he new how poor the squad was and he often bust a gut and take on the pressure to try get results!!
The fact is when he signed a new deal last summer as he was sold AMBITION by the board we then sold Ash and Ayew!....he was not going to make the same mistake this summer and tBH I really cant balme him.
Excellent player and true team player! | | | |

When you're a really good player at Swansea then you become the main focal point of the team and the club superstar.But when you ultimately move onto a bigger club you're no longer that important talisman and you become just another player on the bench if you're lucky. | | | |

Makes no difference. You keep changing your view, you said consistency yes? You have been told by a few now that Leon Britton has been more consistent than Siggy, so why on earth is it relevant where he played when he was 27?
Yes Leon has started 131 Premier League games according to the website I have looked at, a handful less than Gylfi. This is also relevant how? Or did you not realise he had started 131 games? [Post edited 16 Aug 2017 21:33]
