*Past transfer talk*

It's probably going to be pretty easy to guess but take a look at these stats and see for yourself. Guess the player and guess at my thought process/disappointment for bonus internet points.

1. Llorente.
2. A couple of months ago he was a free agent and we didn't sign him. Actually, I think he is still a free agent.

1. Llorente. CORRECT
2. A couple of months ago he was a free agent and we didn't sign him. Actually, I think he is still a free agent.
2. His stats are ~0.455 goals a game for us. Higher than any other team he played for. A world and euro cup winner. BUT, his stats show that Swans squad of 16-17 was his most productive and as a player, he was on form. In a team that allowed a world cup winner to score more goals than he ever has before. So we sold him ASAP.

I'm sure we spent 3 or 4 times as much for Baston that year and barely played him (the Clement era). He (Llorente when leaving) spent 2-3 seasons as a chair warming vegetable with the odd cup appearance.

In contrast to the likes of Routledge who found his home with us as a previous journeyman. What other players did we squander at their statistical best? Chico?

Selling Gylfi and not replacing him was the start of our trip to the Championship. That season with Llorente and Sigurdson was a great one.
