Josh Ginnelly

[bakajack]

As said its a matter of opinions. I don't believe he was good enough but by saying that doesnt mean I think Ollie Cooper was as well. Ginnelly was a bang average player in a bang average squad and therefore his release is of no real impact to us at all nor would I remember anything he did other than score a goal.

As I also said though he was not alone in having that finger pointed at him (in many cases without even the goal) but those players seem to be OK to say they weren't very good when they leave. I don't get it

In fairness Phil it wasn't only the goal, I remember the Wednesday game where he was tearing them a new arsehole and their only answer to him was to kick lumps out of him. I remember thinking that we have a real player here but the ref needs to protect him or something is gonna happen.

Sadly my intuition was correct

More than happy to accept there is an opposing opinion to me - I don't think he was of the standard we wanted and it seems the club agreed

Just another signing we made that for me never fitted in. But he's gone now, as I said I wish him no harm

It’s fair to say he didn’t have an impact, circumstances dictated that. We’ll never know if he was good enough, impossible to make that assessment imo.

I agree with all this

I genuinely think we have rose tinted spectacles on here because of one decent goal against Northampton

That and the incredibly unfortunate injury that derailed his career here?

I don’t think it’s fair to say he was not good enough to play at this level. He never had a chance to prove it.

Have to admit that’s a pretty harsh tweet, he came to us a good age with a couple of good seasons in the SPL with Hearts, played very well and looked promising. Then before he could really do much taken out with an injury which can be career ending and certainly detrimental to a player. Obviously the player that came back was not the same player, so the further post about the club agreeing is disgusting really.

Its all about opinions but when did he have a decent track record at this level in the past? From what I can see he played 60 minutes for Preston across 6 substitute appearances ?

It is my view that the guy was a poor signing and one we should not have made. I wish him no harm by it but he is not good enough to play for Swansea City at this level and never was IMO.
He wasn't unique in that period with that statement either, we had a whole squad of players of which many could have that finger pointed at them

It seems its OK to say that about certain players (based on the Twitter reaction) but not others. That's the bizarre part - I genuinely think we have rose tinted spectacles on here because of one decent goal against Northampton

Andrew Mumford scored a good goal once too but I thought he was rubbish for us too

He did well at Hearts which is what I must have remembered. Accept he didn't do much at Preston.

Nevertheless, given all the crap players we've had over the last few years who have contributed very little, I thought it was very strange to focus on a player who suffered a really nasty injury within his first couple of months here. Unless of course I've missed the similar tweets for people like Pederson, Christie, Tjoe a on, Biancini, the big Ukranian and so on.
