• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Let's be honest, firmly one of the worst signings in the club's history. Right down there with Aidan Newhouse, Pawel Abbott and Renato Sanches. And one or two others who don't immediately spring to mind, but you get the picture.

A poor signing indeed but well away from one of the worst in our history

It's all contextual, and many will not agree of course, but I firmly believe he's right down there. Mainly because as he came at a time where as a club we didn't have a lot of cash sloshing around, but we hung our hat on him (and £2m) as a replacement for Piroe. There couldn't have been a worse fit for us if we'd actively tried. For me, he is our Championship-era equivalent signing of when we signed Clucas to replace Gylfi.

For what he produced on the pitch, I can see the argument, even if I think there's been worse.

Looking at the bigger picture though, didn't we sign him for around £2m? We got one year of (poor) play out of him, then got his wages off the books for a season and then got £1m back for him (apparently). When you compare his financial cost to the club as opposed to say Bony the second time, he's small potatoes.

He's not even in the top 10. I don't think he's any good but he did score some for us and apparently we've had over a million back for him coupled with loan fees and wages covered. Not even in the same stratosphere as Sanches, Clucas, Baston, Bony (2nd spell), Paloschi, Eder, Mesa, Ayew (2nd spell), Tabanou, Beattie.

Pound for pound the likes of Duffy, Abbott, Amankwah, Crainey were also far worse.
