• 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 do think we will get the three bodies that Duff mentioned, heavy noise on Bidwell and Pederson but I think he will only end up with either an attacking midfielder or a striker and not both.
 
Bidwell would be a disgrace he is dogshite

He was good for us under Cooper and got 10 assists from LB, plus he’d add experience, he should never have been given away by Russ.

Pederson
Tymon
Devante Cole
Vyner (If Wood leaves)

He was an ever-present in a team which finished 6th and 4th. He wouldn't be an exciting signing and I wouldn't want us to pay much in the way of a transfer fee as he is 30, but he would probably be a decent signing.

Bidwell was gotten rid of (and incidentally never replaced) because we thought we were too good for him. This is despite the fact that for long periods of time, he was keeping Manning out of the team.

It turns out that actually we aren't too good for him and he is better than Ashby, twice as good as Sorinola and god knows how many times better than Ogbeta.

Bidwell is a decent player for a midtable championship team which is exactly what we are.

Hard working, strong, experienced. Like you say, the kids aren't gonna be rushing out to get his name on the back of their shirt or 'flex' on Twitter about what a wonderful signing he is, however we could do a lot worse and have done a lot worse since he left.
 
The way our defence is at the moment I’d welcome him with open arms.
 
People forget how dodgy Bidwell was defensively and how often he coughed up the ball. He was a Latibeaudiere who could cross. Manning was a night and day upgrade once allowed to play that position.

We all dream of a team of Jakey Bids?

I know football is about opinions but are you sure that you’re not confusing Bidwell with someone else?

He was very decent for us, got up and down the flank and assisted a fair number of goals as well as scoring against the scum.

The only thing I'll say about Ashby is that I thought he was one of our better players on the pitch in the second half against Bournemouth, although I appreciate that's not saying a lot. There's probably a good player there, but if it takes the whole season to improve him only to send him back to Newcastle, I don't really see the point.
