Thanks mate, you've been a joy to watch, especially the last few games, what's the bidding lads.. 10 mil?
 
He’s class when he’s on this sort of form isn’t he? If we had a half decent defence we’d be comfortably in the play offs by now.
 
Hes been magnificent fair play. But we are here to be constructive, there was a big run of games where he looked off the pace ( like the rest of em). If he,Russ and the rest had just picked up few more goals/wins in that barren run....wed be comfy top 6.
 
Can see him going somewhere like Brentford/Brighton, been a joy to watch at times, and considering the shaky start him and Martin had, no one can question the commitment and relationship they have formed since.
 
Tonight I think was his best game of the season, the ball stuck to him well when we played it up and his decision making was good. He often managed to turn and glide past his man and barring a couple of good Woodman saves could have had a hat trick.

Quite how the Preston player didn't get a yellow card for trying to rip the shirt off his back less than 5 minutes in I will never know.

Didn't the ref go back and book that bloke? Absolutely crazy, he was abysmal all night.
 
I'd just like to reiterate, hopefully the owners don't sell him for cheap lowball offers
 
When we signed him John van Swedehead said he was worse than Aiden Newhouse 😂😂😂😂
 
Too slow for the Premier League, went missing for half a season but has been excellent for us.

Manager got to take blame too for the suicidal fannying about at the back

They said that about Teddy Sheringham, absolute class player is Piroe. Twenty goals in successive seasons, he's going to be a huge miss for the Swans. Good luck finding a replacement to match his goal tally.
 
Was his goal his final touch of the ball yesterday? Assuming that he goes elsewhere in the summer then I wonder how many other players score with their last touch in club colours. Heck of a way to sign off, but let’s hope this is not the case.

Are you seriously comparing him to Sheringham?

Or you could argue if Piroe had put away half the chances he had earlier in the season then we would have comfortably made the playoffs.

No, but it's not his pace that has got him over 40 goals in 2 seasons. Glenn Murray of Brighton didn't have an abundance of pace ,but he certainly knew where the goals were.
