• 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

The retained list out .
No major surprises .
Ward & Kit Margeston in talks .
Josh Thomas releasd .
 
Interesting to hear they are in talks with Ward.

I'm up for keeping him around for his experience, not as a blocker for our younger players like Parker and Lissah, though.

Agreed. He's played at centre-back in his time right? Perhaps he's seen the same way Santos was last summer, cheap cover on the bench.

He seems to have a decent character as well and having someone like in and around the changing room can only be a positive
 
Brogan Popham is a bit of a suprise to me. He and Harlan Perry were the two that Man City and Man Utd were allegedly fighting to sign a year or so ago. I know there's no doubt a ton of salt to be taken with reporting like that, but I assumed he was seen as one we'd be looking to keep and develop. I note Perry signed a pro contract recently.
 
Bizarre that Govea and Walta have no mention at all on any of the lists? Admin error?
 
The club tweet / article includes lists of players under contract, released, loans returning to their clubs, players in negotiations etc.

But as I say, Govea and Walta are missing entirely

Walta is on loan, Govea contract to December.
 
Hopefully it sinks in this time.
It literally says “The club has extended Aimar Govea's contract until December 2026”. In the club article.

The Walta thing is more complicated than the other loanees, as there was an agreement of sort to buy him. Can’t remember the exact wording.

You're taking for granted his ability to read.

I'm guessing Walta can't be retained because we haven't actually signed him until the window opens again.

We can't retain a player who isn't out of contract with his current club at the moment, the deal was a loan, with a commitment to buy, when his current contract expires. So, as always, your spot on Smurph.

Cheers, Jaxs 🙏🏼
 
Right so cutting through the nonsense comments this was an admin error by the club not to include these players on any of the lists (as I suspected).
