• 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

A few ex Swans on show here...

When at their best, which of the following players did you prefer and why?

Fredrico Fernandez
John Jo Shelvey
Guilfi Siguardson
Ki sun young
 
Sigurdsson, quite simply a huge reason why we were good at times in the Premier League.

Fernandez was a good defender but Gylfi will always be one of my favourite ever Swans players
 
Yet on his day, I always like Shelvey as he offered something a bit off the cuff/unauthodox, I know his ending here left a sour taste in the mouth, but on his day he could be outrageous with talent and skill... 👍
 
Gylfi for me, when he left i sort of knew that our time in the PL was coming to an end.
 
Gylfi for me too, the most consistent and important of those players.

Impressive that all four of them would have to be considered successful signings, with Shelvey being sold for a healthy profit and Gylfi for a massive profit. We'd have made money on selling Fernandez had we not been in a firesale after relegation. Even the least successful of these players, Ki played over 150 games for us and won the Player of the Season award in our most successful season in terms of league finish.

The amount of stick that’s JJS had when he was here was ridiculous. An incredible striker of the ball.

See also: Jonathan de Guzman.

Shelvey had a lot of potential but a very bad attitude

JDG was a class individual on the pitch and we should have tried far harder to keep him here - another one of those players that we baulked at the demands and then spunked millions on the likes of Bony (2nd time), Clucas and Sanchez

Not that anyone's eye was off the ball or anything you understand!

Especially when replaced with Clucas.
 
Shelvey was what Ferrie Bodde would have been in the Premier League. Outrageous talent but thick as mud with a tendency for the red mist to descend. Probably more naturally gifted than Siggy, but overall Siggy contributed far more.

I thought we elbowed him out to make room for Ki. To make sure that nobody else could do what Laudrup did and send Huw's record signing off on loan.
