• 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

Hopefully it'll translate to the championship, 11 goals in 71 championship games for Norwich is nowhere near good enough
He was also very young when he was playing for Norwich in the Championship. Was 22 when he left there. I’m sure he only started 12 of the 28 games he played in his last season there and he scored 6, so not bad really for a player in and out of the side. He’ll have gained valuable experience in Scotland too so I think there’s scope for him to do very well if we can get the most out of him.

As said above the profile of player that we are looking at (correctly) makes previous track record a very dubious measure.

When you sign players aged 23 or 24, and then look back a couple of seasons, you are comparing boys to men.

Idah is just about to come into his prime, and sign in players with this age profile gives us a huge opportunity to cash in. Should they achieve their potential.

Just like Vipotnik.
 
I sincerely hope we have done our homework on this signing. Number 9's are a premium in this league and £6M is a big outlay for mixed reviews on him.

Saying that, I've been impressed with all our summer signings so hopefully the trend continues..

Our Assistant manager worked closely with him last season. He will know the lad and what he can do. Him being at Celtic was too much for him to cope with and handle with the pressures he felt to be a success at his boyhood team. He’s still young. There was a viscous circle and it started to build. You can look to the Celtic match today to see that service is an issue. Something we need to work on too. He will be a success, I put a JH guarantee on it.
 
Watching the highlights of the Villa Celtic Champions League game from last season where Idah bagged a brace. He will definitely get on the end of some of those early Tymon crosses.
 
There’s a thread about Idah signing on the Anis board - they’re laughing at us because they think we spent 7 million on him lol 😂.
And they’ve signed a goalkeeper on a permanent and two loans 🤣
