Does anyone else think that Orlandi runs and plays like a left footed David Beckham?

You're not alone, I said this the other week to mates. His movement, poise etc, is very similar.

Nope. He has more than one trick.

Yes. Thought exactly this yesterday.

he is proving to be an excellent acquisition. Already has scored more goals than he did in his entire swansea career, must be loving his time here!

Yes, he has that sort of bandy-legged posture. Similar crossing style as well.
Still find it staggering that they managed to sign a player of his quality whilst in League One, though.
Indeed, we're reaping the reward where Swansea never quite managed to over a long period - mostly down to niggly injuries, being in and out of the side etc.. *touch wood on that front*

And it's all gone quiet..
Imagine what kind of dirty, gruesome things he would do in matches in League One today?

He is also a very sly player and leaves his foot in many times but unlike some he gets away with it as he does it without the refs seeing.
I wish I could have your certainly.
Orlandi, more favoured than Tommy K, who's preferred to Spanish Dave, surely not over Calde though, in a team built around Bridcutt, but wait there's AEA with his Brighton heart on his sleeve all in the same Brighton team with Vicente on the bench.

Orlandi is our highest with 8. I could have sworn Spanish Dave had more than 3

Spanish Dave got 1 assist yesterday, 2 against Cardiff and 1 against Derby? Can't think of any more (league ones) to be honest.

He needs some shooting practice, his conversion rate in front of open goals is pretty poor!

His strike of the ball is amazing, yet, give him an open goal with only the keeper to beat, comes down with snow on!
On another note:
Zaha- 33 appearances, 6 assists and 5 goals this season.
Orlandi- 24 appearances, 8 assists and 4 goals this season.
I know Orlandi is obviously a lot older, but how the hell can a player with a return like that be worth £15 million?! It can't just be me that doesn't get it?!
