• 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

I’ve seen a couple of posts tonight blaming our manager and coaching staff for his poor performances at Swansea.
It!s always someone else’s fault,try blaming the player himself for being very unprofessional.
He should have been giving his all for the cause and he wasn’t.

He didn’t want to come to us. It was sort of doomed even before it began and then failed to improve once he got injured.

Has been very good tonight, justifying the reputation that he gained at the last Euro’s.

Indeed but blaming Clement and our coaching staff is just wrong.

Think he got a challenger for that title, in the player we signed last January's window, Shocking player with bags of experience and knowledge of the game, compared to young up and coming player, no contest for me, despite his early goals and promise.

That’s quite an overreaction.

No it isn't. He was awful. I remember him having a shocking performance against league 2 Notts County. He famously passed to an advertisement board against Chelsea. Countless times he wss terrible.
 
Ha ha, bit of overreacting maybe. In my opinion, his head was gone when he arrived here, as a result his attitude was appalling and he had no chance of success. I seriously believe that it was dereliction of duty by Bayern to allow the transfer to go ahead. Paul Clement, as an ex employee of their business being the ‘beard’ for the deal. Bayern, imo, offed him as soon as they could. Also, in the Portugal match prior to this evening, following an event involving a ‘throw in’, the young man again lost his cool and produced a tantrum.

Christ, you can't have seen many then.

Been supporting the Swans for 30 years. I stand by comment that he is the worst player to put on a Swans shirt.

Maybe the worst considering the potential he had, like ordering a fine steak and getting an uncooked rustlers and food poisoning
but worst ever?

He wasn't great and didn't want to be here and was failing badly in Germany but
Carroll, Messa and ki gave him no support. I remember Carroll calling for a pass that Sanches made but instead of standing his ground or moving towards the ball Carroll ran backwards and let a Chelsea player in,
His misplaced pass to the hoarding was by no means the only time that happened to a Swansea player. It looked like he was expecting a Swansea player to actually make an effort to run into space.
On match if the day the following week Eden Hazard did exactly the same thing but from further out and with no Chelsea player in sight and it was laughed off as something 'we've all done'.
Was he good for us? No.
Would he have been good anywhere else? Maybe back home in Portugal.
Was he helped by an otherwise gutless, disinterested (Carroll, Ki) reportedly boozed up Mesa and a dire manager? No.
I am really pleased for the bloke that he's come back stronger.

I’d be hard pressed to think of a swans player with a worse attitude. Fans tried to make him welcome from the first minute he played for us but it was plain as day he had no interest in wearing a Swans shirt. Awful player.
