• 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

Can’t wait until we ‘miss out’ on an exciting replacement and Jay Fulton takes over his role for rest of the season.
Slightly controversial view, but Fulton can probably do more or less the same job Grimes has always done, just without the social media fuss.

Let's get it right. They're both extremely ordinary and moderately competent championship players. It's not as if we're selling Steven Gerrard and replacing him with Steven Bunting here.

Don't you dare do Stephen 'Younger than CR7' Bunting like that

I I'll put my neck out. He won't be putting up trees and Fulton loves a pass back. But he scores and can be aggressive at times. We need someone else of course. But anything other than Grimes. What's gonna happen? We lose 10-1 next weekend.

No offense to the visually impaired, but a blind man could stay in position more effectively than Fulton.
 
Rumours of Leyton Orient midfielder Ethan Galbraith. So this would make sense. I personally think they will have to bring someone in.

They seem like they're going to be cut from the same cloth going off what little I have read about him and their respective stats.
 
I do think there are better out there. Stats will tell you he is at the top in the championship. But I'll keep saying it. Where has that got us.

Definitely think there is better out there. But there's no evidence to suggest we'll find it. Which is my point of listing the players I did, I guess.

We knew Downes and Piroe would be a massive loss and hard to replace but I expect most of us hoped we'd improve on the likes of Manning, Latibeaudiere, Ntcham, etc... but we haven't got close to doing so.

There was a time, long ago, lost to all but the farthest reaches of my memory, that I rated Fulton and thought he was better than Statty; offered more going forward and had more bite in midfield (often a bit too much bite....). If Grimes does go, I think it's nailed on that Fulton would replace him. Hopefully Jay remembers when we was decent as well...

We'll look to bring in a replacement to the squad for sure, but I doubt it will be to replace Grimes directly in the team; that'll be Jay and Joe, at least till the summer.
 
So, now we are about to see more of Jay Fulton, a lot more. Let that sink in for a minute before everyone gets the party started 🥳
I think we need to get the party started asap.
And we need a lot more booze.
