• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

I watched Yates' highlights reel when he signed and was totally underwhelmed. His goals for Blackpool were a mixture of penalties and scruffy tap-ins. I don't rate Cullen or Vip highly, but they're better than Yates, IMHO.
I think we agree they're probably all not good enough. Funny enough I seem to remember seeing that Yates vid too now you've reminded me, but at least he was actually putting it in the net, but Piroe he wasn't.

It's seriously unrealistic to think every transfer will work out though, isn't it?

Plus, they are all judged retrospectively. I don't remember many complaints when Yates was brought in. Successful at Blackpool, goal poacher, seemed right up our street. Personally I don't believe Vip or Cullen are much, if any, better than him at finishing chances.
Yes, I agree not everyone will work out. I don’t pay much attention to what fans think when someone is signed. The only judgement that matters is those in the club, and I think they’ve been getting more wrong than they should have lately.

It’s not all bad though. Franco’s been a revelation. He’s their one success to strengthen us in the last couple of years. Vigeroux is ok as well. Not brilliant but the least of our problems. Eom slowly growing into it, so may end up being a find. The rest over the last couple of years have been underwhelming.
