• 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

I do think we need a back up striker to cover for Idah but if the only signing we made was Rak Sakyi on loan and we didn’t lose anyone, I’d be happy with that.

Swap a perfectly decent squad player for a 36 year old who has played 2 games in over twelve months.

No thanks, these type of signings are hopefully a thing of the past.

I would agree. I wouldn't rule it out though given the Santos signing in the summer.

Santos was captain of Bolton and made over 200 hundred appearances in approximately 5 years at the club. If it hadn't been for the injury right at the start of the season, I have no doubt we would have seen a lot more of the lad.

No idea why you're comparing Santos with Ward as a signings.

Joel Ward who played over 100 games in the premier league in the last 5 years.
I would assume that if Ward was with a L1 club last season as Santos was then he would have played more than 2 games.

Samuels Smith played 0 senior games last season and Casey played 1 premier league game last season but we signed both as cover.

I am not disagreeing with you that we shouldn't be looking at this type of signings but it appears that we are. I am trying to look at why they might be thinking on a player like Ward rather than be dismissive of it.

Both Samuels Smith and Casey are 15 years younger than Ward, there is no comparison between them.

You never know, this might be one transfer rumour you actually get right. Lets hope now though.

It's not about me being right, I just pass it on and it clearly doesn't do me any favours on times but I am always fine with that.
Its not a signing that I think we should be looking into.
 
The same people thinking ward is a good idea, probably thought Bolasie was a good idea too. We dont want a cover option for RB, we want a starter. Joel ward is not going to be a week in, week out starter at 36 years old. If hes not played in the last year, he'll need weeks just to get match fit, What good is that to us?

Being fair, I haven't read anywhere on here that suggests posters think it would be a good idea.
I think the suggestion is that Matos might be the one behind this interest.
