• 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

At the risk of offending the forum police, it is common knowledge (and was widely reported) that Michu was being shopped around by his agent that summer. He'd just had a breakthrough season with Rayo Vallecano and his agent obviously wanted to get the two of them a big payday, with the PL being the league that paid the most.
Your spot on about the forum police on here mind, anyway, enough about Michu, let's talk about pubs down the Mumbles... 😎👌

My memory is pretty good on that summer.
This was all from word of mouth but a pretty good, it was only us and Wigan who were really interested in him and a lot of concern about him being able to adapt in the Premier league but then he went from a valuation of around 8M to hush hush release clause of just over 2M and we got the deal done very quick for him to join Chico and Guzman who had already signed up.

A very little known fact, a fact that came from Michu's mouth himself was that he nearly joined Spurs whilst he was at Celta.

Some things just get made up and then become fact or people read something in the press and again it's set as fact.

Don't believe everything in the press, stories sell even if they are not in line with the truth.

Onto the present summer and the title heading.....there are players missed out on that we don't have the faintest on, some have heard on and others not.
The stories might come out in time and I bet some will read it and say "that's not true" and then the process repeats itself all over again.....be it around a table in the pub or on a forum online, someone will be holding it as fact or gospel.

You’re an absolute whopper dapsy boy 🤣🤣

Most of what you have typed have come from the press! You’ve googled Michu and read them to try and prove me wrong. Here’s another example of where you got that from. Incredible scenes 🤣🤣

Just say you got it wrong ffs 🤣

As I said, my memory was very good from that summer but I will tell you that I haven't done what you are claiming.

It's not about being right or wrong on a bloody football forum 🤦

If there is a report about it then maybe it might just have happened....just a thought.

Person makes claim, finds a link and they are right.
Person makes claim, someone finds link and decides they made it all up from that report.

I know what happened that summer, if you want to go down your path then do so.
To put an end to this sillyness then I will just say........Everyone, Neath is right and I Magic Daps is wrong.

There you go champ, you win 👍😁
 
Back on track.

McBurnie not going to Hull.

Hull moving for Kieffer Moore.

McBurnie an option for us?
🤔

Aye aye 🤣🤣
 
I know he played for the scum but Moore is a better option if we play with Ronald and Ginnely out wide and get the crosses in.
Interesting. I personally would prefer McBurnie who is more than decent in the air and better on the floor than Moore.....given the choice of 2.

I just wanted to keep the pub and mumbles topic going 😁

If you are talking the best person to go pub with, then Ollie hands down!
 
Bar the two names mentioned in the media yesterday the aim is to have a goalkeeper and striker on board before going to Austria
 
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?
