He could of been a really good player for us, it's just a shame he's made out of glass

A bad impact injury for him, bad luck. Shame.

He wasn't made of glass, he was fine until the Sheffield Wednesday plays kicked the shit out of him all game and the ref did nothing to stop it.

Shame. Hope he gets his form back and avoids injury

Gutted, had very high hopes for him here.

I have to say I was very surprised to see this site's tweet about Ginnelly going and how critical it was of him.

I thought he looked promising before his injury and he's had a decent track record at this level in the past.

What tweet was that? Bizarre.

Its all about opinions but when did he have a decent track record at this level in the past? From what I can see he played 60 minutes for Preston across 6 substitute appearances ?

It is my view that the guy was a poor signing and one we should not have made. I wish him no harm by it but he is not good enough to play for Swansea City at this level and never was IMO.
He wasn't unique in that period with that statement either, we had a whole squad of players of which many could have that finger pointed at them

It seems its OK to say that about certain players (based on the Twitter reaction) but not others. That's the bizarre part - I genuinely think we have rose tinted spectacles on here because of one decent goal against Northampton

Andrew Mumford scored a good goal once too but I thought he was rubbish for us too

Let’s be honest we had nothing to really judge him on bar that goal against Northampton.

His career thus far would suggest he wasn’t really championship quality - I guess we’ll never know.

Ginnelly stated that he’s been fit the last 9 months - so Sheehan can’t think that much of him seeing as we haven’t really been blessed with depth on the wings

He was a very poor signing for us, another Liam Walsh really.

Sorry but I am going to call BS on this. A player who made six championship appearances for Preston back when he was only 22 at a time when they were flying high and a very strong side and he was brought in on loan as a squad cover player.



His career post Preston was one of a Championship standard side in Hearts where he picked up 22 goals and 11 assists in 84 appearances.

He can only be looked at as a poor signing in hindsight after suffering a very serious injury. Sheehan has shown preference to his favourites in the past (as does every manager), I do not believe for a minute that Ollie Cooper was a more effective option to bring in from the bench for Eom over Ginnelly

Difference is Liam Walsh had a history of injury problems, Ginnelly did not.
One was a calculated gamble and the other was signing a player who smashed in goals in the SPL the previous season

As said its a matter of opinions. I don't believe he was good enough but by saying that doesnt mean I think Ollie Cooper was as well. Ginnelly was a bang average player in a bang average squad and therefore his release is of no real impact to us at all nor would I remember anything he did other than score a goal.

As I also said though he was not alone in having that finger pointed at him (in many cases without even the goal) but those players seem to be OK to say they weren't very good when they leave. I don't get it
