We once wanted him gone and now he has gone do we miss him?
I miss his forward runs from defence in an attempt to get a goal. |  |

One of the best centre backs we have ever had, occasional rash decision and crazy antics to boot. A seriously great player and as committed as i've seen. |  |

He was very exciting and he instantly fell in love with the everything about Swansea, the city the fans everything and he clearly still does it is a shame and I am always keeping hope that he will one day return. | |

I was gutted that he left, the funny thing was that when he went on tour to the USA pre-season I assumed he would be staying. Never really read that much into whether he wanted to leave or if he was nudged.
Certainly a character, probably end up as one of our cult heroes one day! |  | | |

Liked him when he wasn't rolling around like a minge embarrassing everyone. | |

Walters speaks less and learn to play football, you're very wrong.
Even though it is like getting a reference from Herrod for that nursery job
Got up his Stoke goal on twitter and Monk's interview where he said:
Chico was an absolute warrior, man of the match by a million miles, just shows what a good player he is. Just before he went Monk said he had been magnificent for him.
Although it was intimated by a poster here he was only liked because he was flashy, when I said I would have liked to have seen him at Stoke, I bet Garry agreed with me and probably not because of his fake fur coat. 
Love Chico - genuine Swansea through and through |  | | |

The real deal Chico was a great player, and his performances under Monk were the best he gave us (who'd have thought it give how crap Monk is eh?  ). But we didn't see the good version of Chico often enough. People have short memories, but you could look through this forum's archives and 6-7 months ago and the feelings were very different.
Everyone seems to have forgotten about him exposing us because he was charging up the pitch like a headless chicken, being caught square too often and wiping out opponents, etc... |  | | |

Didn't he leave us for some Middle-Eastern cash? If he wanted to stay here, he was more than welcome to.
Scott Sinclair left for money, did far more for us than Chico, and is generally disliked. I don't get it. |  |

That's just utter rubbish. No offence but you can't just throw lines like that out. | |

Great player when he was on his A game. His reading of the game and ability to pull off a little trick and flummox attackers was brilliant.
He was a big liability as well though. Not just disciplinary wise, he would often make rash tackles or get caught out of position.
He wasn't Swansea through and through either, he was just a passionate player much like Savage and Bellamy were. He committed career suicide by moving to Qatar, anyone who does that at his stage of his career is putting money before his current club or furthering himself. Nothing wrong with that, but strange people see him as some kind of Swansea antihero. | | | |

Liked Chico a lot, but hated the uncertainty all game as to whether he would get his tackles right or not.
Prior to the start of a game there was always the doubt if he was going to have a good game or be a liability.
It appears he could have stayed from what GM said, but chose to run after the cash, rather than stay and fight for his place.
SS did the same and got crucified by some. Some are the same ones that seem to be defending Chico for doing the same 
Or did he know that he had little chance and would be behind Jordi and FF? |  |

Sinclair was 22 wasn't he? A lot more understandable at Chico's age, likely trebled his take home pay. |  |

Yet we would all more than understand if Bony moved on.
I don't dislike Scotty, I am sorry he seems to have made a poor decision but he was vital to our progression and I know many feel the same.
Chico acted totally professionally as an employee of our club (as Monk said he was magnificent for him) but for his own reasons decided he wanted to go and play for Laudrup. Could be totally or partially money related and who could blame him. But remember all that went on before. Like Pablo (who Monk wanted to put at the centre of his team), Michu (who Monk wanted to stay), JDG (who Monk stated he wanted).
Why did they all decide to go to other clubs - their decision and Monk chose to let them go as he did not want players who preferred to move on. Seems fair enough to me. Does not mean we do not miss their talents - nor that in a different scenario they could still be here. | | | |

Chico Flores was quality, especially for the price we paid for him. Should never have been let go, am I right in saying we didn't even make a profit?! Ridiculous.
I still think Fernandez looks decent though, think some of the stick he's been having seems harsh on here, played well against Stoke, just needs a bit more time to fit in with our system, short and sharp passing etc |  | | |

Absolutely nothing wrong with him going to a weaker league for more money. It's a job at the end of the day.
Don't get why people see him as a 'Mr. Swansea' though. | | | |

a. Make up a fact
b. Use it to prove your case
I think most agree Monk was very good at bringing players on on the pitch as witnessed by Ash. I certainly have always believed that.
I am sure we remember that all our players make mistakes. I recall Chico involved in our failure to defend that last minute goal that lost us our point at OT at Alex's farewell game. Think Ash may have been involved too.
I also remember Ash's repeated passbacks that cost us goal after goal hardly see that mentioned though. | | | |

That I understand, but with an ageing Spanish squad, there was the chance of a call up.
Thought that was an ambition of Chicos.
No chance of a cap plying his trade in the Middle East.
Could have given it another go here for a year IMHO. Then moved out there.
I wish the lad every success with his career (except for if he ever plays against us)and thanks for what he's helped us with. Another player who has helped us on our journey and given us more entertainment than most. | |

They aren't facts, they're views. Which one is made up:
- that Chico was a good player?
- that we saw his better side under Monk?
- that he could be a liability? [Post edited 22 Oct 2014 16:41]

Maybe soon Federico will be able to follow the Swansea mantra "Stay calm and pass to Leon". Once he's doing that and understands how we do things, he'll be fine. |  | | |

Coupla questions, not really off topic.
Did the club get any money for Chico? Did we make a profit?
Think we signed him for around the £2 million. Think he was worth a bit more when he left. | |

Think he was worth a bit more when he arrived - but hope so given I imagine that club is fairly cash rich. But I suppose if we thought it best to let players go then we probably were not getting top dollar for them. | | | |
