Is Leon Britton that good? They go on about him likes he's Xavi. I always thought he was decent but..
Britton had a huge amount to do with the success of Swansea's possession tactic working as they got promoted and then stayed in the premiership. His injury last season had a lot to do with their relative struggles. He's not as good as Xavi obviously but he's the same type of player and very good at recycling the ball and intercepting it. He was easily their most important player under Rodgers and to a certain extent Laudrup, although now he's a bit older and they are starting to replace him. I think Carroll is more likely to go to Swansea permanently as Britton's replacement than stay with us, tbh, it's a role tailor made for him and Bentaleb and Mason are much more suited to our style.
