• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

    Doesn't mean they dont know. Players talk, managers talk, agents talk. Depends on the circumstances, there is sometimes benefits to clubs leaking this stuff. Maybe an owner wants to show ambition, maybe they want to demonstrate their shrewdness. Could be any number of reasons.

    How do you know all news we hear about transfer fees are guesses then? Are you saying that agents, players themselves, managers, staff, clubs, governing bodies, other players, players families etc etc etc never knowingly or unknowingly leak this sort of information? Or is this another of your...

    We do have clues though, plenty, for pretty much every transfer. You just pretend we don't. And if those clues turn to out to be completely false, well you couldn't disprove it anyway by your own logic.

    How good is he? Anyone seen much of him?

    That's just your comfort blanket blindspot. Fair play if this blissful ignorance works for you.

    Of course it can, based on what we know, what other players of similar stature go for, what the state of the selling club is etc. Ultimately it will be a guess, but an informed one. From that and their performances I can form an opinion on the quality of the signing. This isnt rocket science...

    I form an opinion based on common sense, logic and the tidbits of information we hear. As we've been over previously, by your logic you wouldn't ever class a signing as bad because you use your comfort blanket blind spot. Like you wont admit Bony 2nd time was a huge mistake because the club...

    No doubt he did have a signing on fee. But using judgement I wouldnt say we paid him anything like some of the transfer fees we've paid this summer.

    No, I can only comment on what I see on the pitch.

    And he was a free transfer too

    Melker Widell

    Yes it was, but he didn't have much of a pre-season and he did score some crackers (not enough, but he showed something).

    There's never a conclusion until a player leaves or retires. So far some don't look up to it. They have time to turn it round but so far there aren't many signs they will (blind faith - new league, new language etc etc). Maybe they'll never get used to the speed or start liking Rossi's...

    Oh yea its blindingly obvious Innoussa and Idah are going to propel us up the league next season.

    If you're just a mere fan, you wouldn't either. By this logic, some of these players could have hit their ceiling already? Unless you're working for the club and then you'd have more insight into their 'arcs'. It would explain the seemingly blind faith being put in some of these players.....

    Who else but fans would come on a swans forum and praise aspects of the club and recruitment when deserved as well as criticise when deserved?

    For what we've paid for some of these signings we are entitled to have expected more by now though. These aren't 750k punts but some have played as such since joining.
  18. Cinio Dydd Sul

    Melker Widell

    Someone working for the club would have more of a vested in portraying everything the club/ recruitment team does as a positive than fans talking on a forum (for whom there wouldn't actually be any vested interest). Just saying.....

    Thomas Woodward

    Young striker whos scored a lot of goals at youth levels has signed a senior professional contract. Hopefully he gets minutes before the end of the season.

    Oooooh

    His permanent appointment was a disaster and the club were absolutely correct to act when they did to stem the flow. I understand why it happened but we fell into the inevitable trap of appointing a successful caretaker.
