• 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

The Swans have officially confirmed the departure of Olivier Ntcham just a day after he made his debut for Turkish side Samsunspor. Ntcham was a pretty regular sight in the team during the pre-season games but his fate was effectively sealed when he refused to play for the Swans in the season opener...

We deserved more than a minimal fee surely? unless that's been subsidised by not paying him the rest of his contract, he's achieved what he wanted to achieve though by using us to put his face in the shop window, we never really saw the best of him though unfortunately.

Thing is though Max we probably did see the best of him.
In Ntcham you have a player with ability that only turns up when he feels like.

He had some amazing performances for Celtic, even scored the winning goal against Lazio out in Rome, but his "quality" performances became less and less.

Rumours that he was actively trying to undermine Neil Lennon amongst the younger players in the squad.

Eventually they had enough of him and terminated his contract.

He's best gone Max trust me.

If its true that we were paying him 25k a week I agree, I haven't heard anything about being a trouble maker type though in fairness.

Steve, I think the 25k was because his "signing on fee" was built in to his weekly wage.
I'm quite glad he's gone because he was hyped up far too much and didn't deserve the credit some gave him. His strength was his strength but often that was missing especially when he was fasting.
He scored a few crackers though and his goal celebration was very entertaining.
