• 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

Reports last weekend were very much suggesting that Joel Piroe was on the verge of signing a new contract at Swansea but it now seems that this is not so much the case with a sale very much still on the cards and could even see Russell Martin make a second move on SA1 to […]

Just sell as quickly as possible now… from the first few league games I struggle to see Piroe adapting to this new system unless the system changes…

If we can get £10 million for him now, take it, and reinvest - I actually have some faith in Paul Watson already having decent replacements lined up.

9 days until the window shuts… we can’t leave it until the last minute.

I agree that Piroe is looking more than a little lost at the moment, but I think that is more down to us not having an attacking midfielder who can get the ball and then play it to feet for Piroe rather than him trying to take down balls in the air which we all know is not his strength. Right now the front four and the back six are isolated from each other and that usually means long balls in the channels for Yates and Piroe to contest.

I wouldn't be devastated to see Piroe leave as it stands with Ginnelly and Kuharevych both looking like there is plenty about them for the more high intensity pressing game that Duff wants and Cullen also having good performances so far this season. Thats to say nothing about Yates with 2 goals in 3 games so far.
 
If we get the supposed £15m.
There's no need to renew his contract.
His buyout clause on any renewed contract is unlikely to be any higher than that.
 
Rather keep, but he’s not working well alongside Yates and we’ve signed wingers we’re not using. So maybe we have already recruited for his departure. I’m almost beyond caring tbh.
