Wtf is this for real? Lads class.
Not believing it for 1 minute.

He basically does what Allen's been doing the last few games, really really well

Yeah - probably means Allen dropping into the periphery again.

Torp, Rudoni and Sheaf will be big beneficiaries playing alongside. He'll knit everything together

 

[David O'Day]

this will end the same way all transfer rumours go

to be fair it is from the BBC and not some lad sharing his Whatsapp messages so it ha better legs

 

[Trueskyblue20]

If this comes off I am going to bring back the Dougy King song with my top off in the first 5 minutes.

Matt Grimes: Coventry City target Swansea City midfielder

Coventry City are hoping to sign Swansea City captain Matt Grimes before the transfer window closes next week.

www.bbc.co.uk

It's an actually BBC story not a random rumour so we are after him

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

For those with longer memories - we had a Grimes in midfield before and that still gives me nightmares.

Not comparing the 2 in any way!

Bit disappointed by this as per my previous comments on Grimes. Players react to different managers tactics etc so not saying it’s going to be a bad signing, but for me he’s not what we need. Often see him strolling around the pitch not putting a foot in when he should, etc. don’t get be wrong he has a wand of a left foot but I think he’s more of a luxury player than what we need….. unless that’s how the swans coaches have asked him to play and he’s a workhorse being held back.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Hopefully he is unsettled by this and can’t play against us.

This would be a very good signing.

It’ll be done by then I’d imagine

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

Excellent work if we can get this done before the weekend, we might even beat the bastards for a change.

Not sure how you fit all four in the same team tbh!

 

[Nick]

With him to score the winner, kiss the CCFC badge and shush all their fans after running past their manager smiling?

My lad tells me Swansea fans think hes the 2nd best midfielder in the league after Hamer.

 

[Mr Panda]

Yeah I meant when they get on the field with him rather than altogether!

 

[Londonccfcfan]

We won league 1 playing the box midfield!! Thats how...another option!!

Wow

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Can easily revert to a Box.

Would like to see a WWE-style heel turn during the pre-match warmup on Saturday tbh

 

[torchomatic]

I’d imagine Bidwell will have been in his ear

Joel too. "Come to Cov! Cov! Cov!"

 

[JSL]

If its not true, its a genius dirty tactic to finally get a win away at Swansea

 

[clint van damme]

You've got to have a mix of youth and experience in the squad, and hopefully Lampard has identified the lack of a proper captain who can lead by example and rally the team when things get tough.

I agree though that this is the kind of signing you make when you're planning to make a real go of it in the next one or two seasons.

He's already identified the lack of a proper captain and now he's playing him!

Allen, all due respect to him, is a useful role player. Nothing more, nothing less.

He’s put in a fine string of performances and lately and deserves all the plaudits he’s getting. There’s levels to this and players like Sheaf and Grimes are just 2-3 gears ahead of him.

 

[TomRad85]

This isn't something that comes up overnight, assuming this was happening at the same time as Matondo negotiations so there is a little money there even without someone like BTA moving on.

He would cost more than BTA leaves for lets be honest

 

[Domo]

@Saddlebrains is this the 300+ appearances, 27-29 year old, CM your were talking about the other day?

Agree there. Allen is now in a position where if his contract is extended and he is asked to cover a run of games then none of us would complain at all, however would we want him as a permanent player in that position probably not.

Haha. Stats say he's a class midfielder. Fans say he's "mediocre".

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Yes please, cracking midfielder who will do exactly what we need in the Centre of the midfield

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Haha. Stats say he's a class midfielder. Fans say he's "mediocre".

They would if they knew he was on his way out, a bit like how some on this forum said Hamer was a 6 month wonder

Hes been one of the stand out midfielders in the league for number of years.

Case of you dont always appreciate what you have sometimes. Hes just a very good footballer for the role he plays.

Appreciate as fans you are always a little bitter, similar to COH in ways, fans saying hes not that good etc - again hes a very good football player for the role he plays.

Fans in general I don't think have a real clue. But after Gyokeres, Swansea more so than any other don't have a clue.

Excellent signing!

Probably just being bitter. Happens all the time when a player wants to go

 

[fernandopartridge]

Haha. Stats say he's a class midfielder. Fans say he's "mediocre".

It's similar to some of the views on Sheaf expressed here as it becomes apparent he might have thought about moving on

 

[Mr Panda]

Doesn't look like they have a fantastic relationship in that picture, jesus
