• 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

Hear me out. I'm not saying I want players to go, but reality is it will happen to every club. So who do we think will be the next player that we sell who goes for a big fee?

My vote goes to Galbriath. He has Premier league all over him and could easily see him going for over 10 million if he improves. Stamenic also.

A decent Championship standard player goes for around 10 million, 25 million or they can get tae fuck 👍
 
Cabango or Galbraith
Alot are saying Galbriath. Alot of talk or hype has dropped for Franko. Galbraith looks like he can step up to Premier league. Sadly I see us selling him next summer if he keeps performing the way he is. No less than 10 Million for me at moment. 🤣

I can these owners holding their nerve and not selling our Crown Jewels to the lowest bidder, hoping they've got something about them with a positive vision to where they can take the club.

Franco looked like our best player last season (and indeed won player of the year). This year he is playing with better players around him and isn't as influential.

Not to say he only looked good because he was playing next to Matt "the opposite of dynamic" Grimes, but it probably helped.

I think our midfield in general (as a whole) has looked a little off this season. Galbraith has excelled individually, but I don't think we have a good balance in there yet, and I think that's affecting Franco a bit. I don't think there's a clear definition of roles out there and lots of stepping on each other's toes.

Only seen a little of him so far, but I really like the look of Stamenic out there, so if he continues to impress, that adds more of a headache to selection/set-up. I can see Stamenic at the base of a 3, and then more of a box-to-box player behind a No.10. To me, Franco and Galbraith fit that box-to-box duracell bunny types, and I'm not sure if we can easily accommodate them both in the same 11 (again, assuming Stamenic turns out to be good). And who's the No. 10 in all this? I thought it would be Widdel, and it might still be, but I'm not sure if he have that real 10 type player here at the moment.

All this to say I think at this point Galbraith has risen to be the most valuable player, but a lot can change based on how our team develops over the season - as we settle into our promotion juggernaut groove...
 
Inoussa for me at the moment, the only game changer in the team that can beat a man one on one then closely followed by Galbraith. Idah, Widell, Wales and Stamenic need to see more of. With Vipotnik , Ronald and Franco I would start the car if we got £3/4 million for these and EOM I would happily mutually consent to give up a contract, worst player in match day squad.

The most overrated is Franco, 45 games 2 goals and 2 assists and he is idolised, I just see a couple of good tackles per game and not much else, I think we would get more goals and assist from Ollie Cooper and he's league one standard. Galbraith makes him look like he's carrying too much body fat the way he covers the ground. I personally think Franco is the reason we are not clicking in midfield and the cause of our creativity problems.

If that's your opinion of the current team, I'm amazed you managed to endure the last 4 seasons and still follow the team!

I would say your analysis of Franco is flawed. I'm not saying he's anywhere near Leon's level, but Britton scored just 17 goals in 520 games for us (can't find his assist numbers as they weren't tracked, but can't imagine he'd have that many) and no-one is saying he was overrated.

Franco brought far more to the team last season than goals and assists, while I remember multiple posts saying that if he was a better finisher he never would have ended up here. He's yet to catch fire this season, but if you think our player of last season is that bad, I'd say you're maybe not the best judge of players.
