• 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

No one good I hope 😂

Maybe Fulton? Not that I don’t rate him but he seems the most likely. Otherwise I reckon this fisher deal would have been done

He's talking about you mentioning Birch I imagine.

He’s the EFL Chairman and he’s the one who quoted the figure in his plea to Drakeford.

Some positive news at least

Happy days
 
Not 100% sure what to make of this signing, and think I would have preferred to have seen resources used elsewhere but Russ was obviously desperate to get him here.

Ian Mitchelmore reporting Benda now eager to get away which is to be expected, wonder if there is a deal in place for him to go which has freed up the cash for us to complete this.

Yeah I’m hoping this hasn’t been prioritised over positions we actually needed to fill, I feel we could have persevered with Hamer & Benda till the end of the season, but as long as we have the positions we need lined up I’m happy we’ve made a signing at least, although got to say the comments from the MK Dons fans about him are worrying :lol:

Yeah noticed a few saying he's good with his feet but actually keeping ability questionable.

Not ideal. But we shall see how he goes, still young, decent enough price and plenty of sell on value if things go well.
 
Football insider reporting a seven figure fee for him, surely not?

Not sure that we’ve got this level of budget to work with.
I can only assume that it’s seven figures including substantial clauses.

That sum is surely b*llocks, the reported figure was £400k and I reckon it would be close to that, maybe with a sizeable add on if we were to get promoted.

Makes sense, that's why I thought it made sense about the Cabango story. We will cash in on someone to get this deal done if we can.
 
do we really need him though? Smith, grimes, ntcham, downes all in that role. If we signed him what's our midfield 2 and two attacking mid??

We need an upgrade on Smith imo. Nothing against the guy, I think he's a decent player but attacking midfielder he's not, and we already have good defensive midfielders. He's also out of contract in the summer and one of our higher earners.
