Who surprised you in a bad or good way? and why?
I have followed Swansea only a year before Laudrup stepped in, so not much history here. I have to say that Michu comes first, I never ever expected him to just start banging them in when he was signed. |  |

Matthew Rush. I know he was only a loan signing but I honestly thought he'd go on to be a top international. |  |

We have had countless players who have been worse than Schecter - well, unless somebody has only been following us since the PL. |
Stewart Phillips wins. |  |

Alvaro Vasquez. On his own and would have been shot at dawn if in army.
David Ngog. Just why, why?
Value for money. Hard to seperate Britton, Williams and Rangel but Ash shades it for me simply for fitness and attitude levels.
Ive still not got over him being accused of being a "Bottler". |  |

Walter Boyd and Brad Maylett are far from the most disappointing players we have had, but based on Boyds sensational debut and Mayletts hattrick in either his debut or one of his first games as a permanent signing, they both looked world beaters.
Boyd had the talent, but not sure he was up for the physical challenge of scrapping it out with lower league defenders on cabbage patches in winter. Maylett was ok, but never got near his initial promise. | | | |

Ante Rajković, one of the best if not the best defender we have had. We signed him in our promtion season but he only played two games so was a bit of an unknown but showed true class in the old first division. The pundits at the time were lamenting England's lack of a sweeper and if only they had one like Ante Rajkovic. | |

Linton Brown, anybody? |
Went to a reserve game and saw Linton Brown score a spectacular long range volley.
The look of disbelief on our coaches in the dugout was a picture. Haha. | |

For disappointment after a great start, both Goodfellow and Duffy stand out for me in recent times.
Most surprising in a good way, I'd second Rangel. A player who we picked up after going to scout someone else, cost peanuts and went on to be a mainstay in the team, including at Prem level.
I'd also put Bodde forward. He was hyped up on arrival, but his performance in his debut against Oldham was genuinely staggering to me. |  |

3. Made such a minimal impact you forgot his name was Josh 😉. I don't disagree though. | | | |

Fabianski. He's done a hell of a lot better than I thought he would. With the way he's been playing this season, its hard to grasp that he used to have the name "Flappyhandski."
Jack Cork is another one who's exceeded my expectations a lot.

Fabianski must be wondering to himself if he would now be the regular Arsenal keeper if he had stayed there for one more season. Thank God he didn't, but he's miles better than David Ospina who's currently their number one. |  |

Disagree about Vazquez. Really think we should have tried taking him on permanently, as I think he has great potential, as he's showing in La Liga this season |  | | |

There is absolutely no way we should have signed Vazquez permanently as he was absolutely abysmal here. It's all well and good that he's showing some potential in La Liga but it only angers me further when looking back at his complete and utter ineptitude. |  |

Premier League era would be Routs for me. Fantastic for us since he's been here. |
Rangel is definitely up there considering the level he was playing at and what he cost but yes, Routs for me has been fantastic against all expectations. Journeyed around loads of teams without ever seeming to catch fire but found his home with us and I'll always be glad he did. May only occasionally have been our best player but always the one I've enjoyed watching the most since he's been with us and given me good value for the cost of my ST. Just a shame Brendan would never use him as long as Scotty was able to walk. |  | | |

Agreed (I think, I always get confused between him and Habzeabdij). I don't like to say the best, but imo, there was no-one better in the division in that position. I was absolutely gobsmacked when he didn't make it into the Yugo World Cup squad. Unbelieveable. |  | | |

what about michel vorm?
i don't think the team would have stayed up that first year without him, tbh. was world class for a season. made it to first choice for holland. i think he was 1 million and relatively unknown at the time. despite how he's viewed now, he was massively important that first year. |  | | |

True enough, he was amazing the first season. | |
