• 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

Bar the two names mentioned in the media yesterday the aim is to have a goalkeeper and striker on board before going to Austria
Like Langstaff or the new Piroe contract? I’m only joking before Neath Jack says I’m having a go
It's an interesting ones with the Koreans.

Mykolo could likely leave but after being here 12 months then doesn't fall into the category of needing a work permit.
The group of 4
1.Ronald-After Jan he then falls out of it meaning another space opens up.
2.Eom
3.
4.

2 spaces left although we could still sign from countries with a freedom to work here or pass the points system.
Would Eom pass the points system?
Would the new Portuguese fella need one?
 
Not heard definite names , expect them to be outside of UK though. British market is so inflated doesn’t suit what we need right now
 
This must be the longest Welcome to Swansea video ever for Eom!

The media team must have spent days on it.
 
Regarding this transfer window, I'm mildly optimistic. I have a strong impression that Williams knows how he wants the team to be as a footballing entity and when asked "How about this guy" will give a useful opinion. Contrast that with,
1. Russell Martin. His first 'must have' import was Fisher, who he had to have so he could build a strong defence around him. The club played over the odds to get him. Who would trust his input on transfers after that?
2. Michael Duff. I was optimistic about Duff (I am usually optimistic, it's more fun) but it became clear he had no vision for his Swansea team and I suspect that for every player discussed he just said yes OK.

Successful transfer business is built around good footballing input and good business management of the transaction. We've been missing the first bit for three seasons.
 
Franco and Eom in the building.

Not sure if officially signed but had a taste of the training facilities.

I believe it's more of a case that the men in charge have earned they can't carry on making the same mistakes they have over the last 3/4 seasons.

Pulling away from loans and realising they need value for money so looking further afield.
