• We have today (22nd April) confirmed the closure of JackArmy.net on 31st May. Our reasons are varied but after a twenty-five year stint at the heart of the online Swansea City community, the time is right for us to bow out.

So now we are developing DC United youngsters at the cost of our own development players...
Unbelievable Jeff :shock:

Definitely not normal practice, but as a 4 month loan not a big problem. Morgan gone, Smith was supposed to go on loan, quite a few injuries and we had a full back playing right wing in the last fixture. We're not overstocked in forward areas, with two first year scholars coming off the bench.

'scholars'

Always makes me laugh.

Fair enough, but he will be taking the place of one of our development players, regardless of players out on loan or injured we should be developing our own and not DC Uniteds talent, for me a worrying development ...
 
No doubt if he turns out to be any good and he not only develops for DC Utd but also puts pressure on team mates to up their game.

If he is some sort of wonder kid and ends up in the 1st team as an exciting talent then i am sure everyone will be happy.
