• 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

    But am capable of forming an opinion.

    Not necessarily. If we'd paid a much bigger fee than we did for Galbraith for example it would still have been a great signing because he has performed.

    No, which is why I don't. That's too intricate. Ultimately we have to pay whether its up front or spread.

    Theres plenty of ways to form an opinion. Ive explained it at great length.

    I have, above. There is a lot of information out there to form an opinion of what we may think a transfer fee maybe. What do you do when we sign for undisclosed then? Give it no thought and ignore all rumours and reports?

    So you pay zero attention to any transfer fee ever reported or suggested? This descending into silliness now, you may not like that say some signings haven't played well but are you really going to be this partisan and untrue to yourself to claim that you dont have an incling or care about any...

    Again, I think I do have an idea generally what the deal was.

    Not of them, of the transfer.

    Not without no inside information, but its only natural for most to form an opinion on what the club has paid for players. As I said, this information isnt always knowingly released by clubs.

    Well i dont actually blame the player unless they're blatantly not trying.

    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.

    Kit Margetson

    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.
  16. Cinio Dydd Sul

    Melker Widell

    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...

    Melker Widell

    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.
  19. Cinio Dydd Sul

    Melker Widell

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

    And he was a free transfer too
