• 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

Yea I take that on board although Piroe had been in the PSV system and his youth scoring record was very good. Having said that I thought he was a gamble too.

Troyes signed M K for around 300k after he scored 4 in Ukraine. He played a total of 13 minutes for Troyes (zero goals). Then a loan at Leuven with around 12 games (zero goals) followed by the Hibs injury plagued loan where he got 5 goals (decent under the circumstances).

But does this sound like a million + player?

Should Troyes be quadrupling their outlay!?

Fair points, it is a gamble. Hopefully the same people/person who saw the potential in Piroe are still around and had their say here!

Wow this is a massive gamble then surely? I was thinking it might be worth a punt on a few hundred k at most. Considering his record in modest leagues and Troyes evidently being particularly eager to keep him I'm astonished if this is true. And he's not even going to be an automatic starter for us. And I'd be concerned if he was signed as a replacement for Piroe.

All signings are risks. He’s 22 years old and can be argued that last season was his coming of age year. 5 goals in 15 in a good league and looking an absolute handful.

These types of strikers (big and technical) don’t come around that often. If you wait for them to bang in 20 goals then you are adding a zero.

But some signings are riskier than others.....

Excited to see what he do however.
 
Guessing Ashby had his medical with us Monday and is training with us whilst Newcastle sort out their deal for the RB from Southampton? And we’re waiting for the go ahead to ‘officially' announce it.
