• 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

Wycombe just re signed that centre back Taylor on loan for the rest of the season, they signed a Danish centre back to replace but now he is back!

Joe Low on the move?
 
Are we spending funds in this window to secure a player we can't play this season?

Do we have the luxury and funds for this?
 
As average as I thought he was I'd take that in the short term.

Seems fairly apparent that the club are just trying to get through this season and do a hard reset in the Summer. New manager, new players, the lot.
Yeah agree with that, it does seem like every summer is a new reset.

Yes they are just trying to scrape through this season but I don't see any sort of reset on the summer, all I see is another season of struggle.
 
If you look at Ipswich as a comparison, they’ve gone almost the completely opposite way. Their promotion team from League 1 and the Championships was almost exclusively UK and Ireland players. I think their manager is even on record saying he prefers to work with British/Irish players as they’re all familiar with the FA coaching framework and it help communication.

But then Brentford and Brighton have been successful with majority overseas players.

Maybe there’s no one best approach to recruitment other than don’t be shit at it!
We are more Brighton than Ipswich.

We can draw upon real success with our overseas (esp Espana) signings, cheap as chips with quality galore. It is the Swansea way we all romanticise about and I welcome it back.
