• 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

Gonçalo Franco joining us apparently

Midfielder

Moreirense have already agreed the transfer of Gonçalo Franco. The midfielder will commit to Swansea, from Wales, and will therefore make his debut in the Championship.

The deal is agreed and the young player left Ofir this Tuesday, where Moreirense is completing their pre-season training camp.

Franco had just one year left on his contract with the club from Moreira de Cónegos, where he arrived from Leixões. The midfielder was one of Moreirense's main assets.
 
Obligatory youtube highlights video that makes him look like the greatest midfielder in the world etc etc.

Only watched the first minute - until I see something from the club or local journos, I'm not thinking too much of it. Looks like he gets around the pitch a lot putting in challenges in (borderline red card magnet).

 
For a player with 1 year left on his contract? Can't see that happening
Agree but he does seem to be very highly rated with a number of clubs chasing his signature, clubs like Galatasary, Fenerbache and Benfica.

Promising one this looks.

Then why on earth is he coming here? How have we pulled this one off.... if we have pulled it off.....

Probably explains why we never went for Leonard.
 
If this one comes off it looks like we've found a much needed "dog" in midfield. Grimes, despite his obvious skill set, couldn't tackle a stick of candy floss!

2 possible new boys look full of energy and movement which is what we were sorely lacking.
*again I’m basing that off YouTube videos.
 
Hopefully addressing the weak spine we have. GK, CB , CM and central striker.

We have talent in the squad for this level just not enough depth and in the right areas.

Hopefully we can turn the poor recruitment corner.
 
This Korean boy that’s meant to be signing. Who the fuck is over there scouting? Or has his agent been offering him around clubs (like what happened with Michu) or maybe Ki put a word in?

The Portuguese boy, made a bit of a name for himself as having top stats for a DM, so can understand him being on clubs radars.

And, if both these players turn out to be a bit rubbish, they’re obviously going to be Watson signings, and if they’re a bit good they’ll have been Lukey boy signings, yes?
