    Ki was a player I like but never loved, if you know what I mean. I'd have loved to have seen a midfield of

    Wanyama

    Ki Bitton​


    Bitton I feel could offer alot outwith the sitting role. Very skilful and can pick a pass.

    I am surprised how well he has done. Maybe it is partly because he has improved as he has aged along with the fact teams don't put 10 men behind the ball as much down there.

    I really miss Ki. Great player.

    I didn't understand the "lightweight" abuse he got as a player. Maybe in his first few months this was correct.

    But it shouldn't have continued. I thought he adapted well to Scottish play.

    Ki was never a "great" player for us. Didn't rate him at all during his time at us, actually thought he was borderline *. He seems to have stepped up his game big time since he left so us fair do's to him, wish him the best.

    Best passing accuracy in the EPL this season, last season he had the 5th best, 4th the season before and also the best in his first season.

    So another year passes since I made that post, is Bitton still better than Ki?

    Well, for one, I never said he was better.

    Biton had a good season last year and I said if he could continue that sort of form he'd be getting linked with bigger sides as well. In fairness, he was linked with Arsenal around October time.

    With both motivated and playing at their best there is not much in it.

    Celtic Bible saying on Twitter that Ki is pushing for a move back to Celtic.

    Apparently he's holding off on renewing his Swansea contract in case they get relegated.
