Yep on his day he is as good as they come. I for one thought he would have been great playing a part in the Academy set up.

As crazy as it sounds, I think he might be!

I'm going to refuse to update my squads on Fifa 14 now. If I don't update, he'll stay at the club. It's so simple!

+1 for being gutted.
It's easy to be cynical, players get labelled sick note, lazy, mercenary etc. I think it's easy to forget that they are normal people with families and they too find it frustrating when they are injured. IMO that leaving message is dignified and shows a genuine fondness for the club and the city.
He's clearly an incredibly talented footballer, the 2012/13 season showed what he can do. His goals and assists were invaluable.
Considering that and also that he's back playing, I'm really surprised that the club haven't offered him something.

Club needs to get him of the injury prone players.
Can't afford a player on like £12k a week who barely plays.
Wow, feel even more gutted that we couldn't keep another flair player fit.

The one player, out of all those whose contracts were up, I was desperate to see get another year. Fav player of the Amex era and properly gutted to see him go. Fingers crossed for a second coming (him not me).

A genuine talent. Gutted to see him go. Maybe the next manager may have a change of heart. A fully fit Orlandi could be an asset to the club.
Who is supposed to be Calde's assistant local legend now?

I just posted this in another thread.
1st season
38 appearances, 7 goals, 11 assists.
2nd season
20 appearances
As a comparison, Calde over the last two seasons made 66 appearances... Not many more than Orlandi.
How many more times was Calde available but not needed, or there as an unused sub? What are their respective wages? Like we keep saying, it's all about value.
Great bloke. Great player, but increasingly, an expensive luxury.
74 games in 5 seasons for Swansea, like Hoskins, he had previous.

Hopefully we can find some cash in the budget and resign him, a wonderfully gifted player with a great attitude on and off the pitch. Such a sad day
