Every Swansea City #9 this century ranked - a thread
11th: Alberto Paloschi

He tried his best. Got plenty of chances after signing in January 2016, got homesick and we sold him for half of what he cost. Nice hair though
10th: John Williams

I was 4 when he left us for the last time so I'm basing it on his goal record which is not good
9th: Giovanni Savarese

Never knew he played for us tbh. Decent goal record, but we got relegated that season so,
8th: Craig Beattie

Was mostly shit while he was here, but remember that ping against Middlesbrough? Phwoar
7th: Borja Baston

What could have been? 1 goal in the Premier League and after a good start this season, benched for Sam Surridge and binned for Liam Cullen
6th: Adebayo Akinfenwa

Cult hero. Part of the Jackett team that came so close in 2006, but always played in Trundle's shadow
5th: James Thomas

One hat trick puts him all the way up here lmao. Non-Swans fans: look up Swansea 4-2 Hull and you'll understand. Fairy tail shit
4th: Oli McBurnie

Second Swans player to hit 20+ league goals in a season last decade, but ultimately won no senior trophies at the club
3rd: Fernando Llorente

Handsome man. Brought in on a free as a backup to Borja, ended up being half of the Premier League's best strike partnership in 16/17, scored so many important goals and kept us in the Premier League
2nd: Jason Scotland

Record goalscorer at the Liberty Stadium. *That* goal vs Fulham. The perfect player for the Martínez era. First footballer to make me cry when he left for Wigan
1st: Michu

*Ahem*

Came from Spain. Conquered Swansea. Took the Premier League by storm. Magic left-foot. Black Gloves. Ice in his veins. Elite finisher. Hand to his ear. Certified Bagsman. Fired The Swans to their first Major Trophy. The Streets Will Never Forget.
