Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes (24 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Pretty sure third parties can't just buy players?

Didn’t Overson provide the cash for Hamer?

When u can pass like he does and plays as deep as he does not sure he wants to be on his arse much. I would prefer to watch him drill 30 yards passes over back tracking left backs and right backs all in a panic. Because they know with space behind trying to stop EMC, Wright, Tatsu, Milan, Simms and Bassette running with the ball would be be a nightmare.

And BTA!

I hope so any player that runs the channels well would live that.

My source tells me Geri Halliwell and Christian Horner stumped up the cash last Saturday.

Oooh. Well if she is coughing up the money, maybe we should give her a list of targets.

"We'll tell her who we want, who we really, really want."

 

[fatso]

Bidwell has just been given another two year contract at 32

Doing his coach driving licence this summer.

I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really really good right back that runs zigazig ah

Oooh. Well if she is coughing up the money, maybe we should give her a list of targets.

I hope we are not getting too far ahead of ourselves with this. I can imagine this news might alert a few other clubs to try and snatch him off us which would be hugely disappointing now we are all discussing him as if he has already signed.

Most of the football world would know this is happening anyway

 

[fatso]

All left foot. They're taking over the squad!

We've had plenty of players with two left feet!

This thread is going to look really silly if the deal doesn’t go through. We can speculate but there are posts on this and the other thread which are taking it for granted the deal will go through

On a side note, thank god I don’t have to use the Swansea (or Luton for that matter) forum every day…

Looks like it belongs in the early 2000s

 

[lord_garrincha]

Speculation, but if he did... we would certainly know.

 

[fatso]

Not for me

there are bargains out there to be had

Do us a favour and let Frank know, I'm sure he'd value your opinion.

 

[fatso]

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!

I hope Matt is a damn site better than Ashley!

 

[Captain Dart]

He would be brilliant in that role Allen has been playing

We definitely need a replacement for Sheaf if he goes and currently our backup option for Allen is only Eccles while Sheaf is out but overall it looks like he might be better than any of them.

Our big summer signing, along with Terry Gibson, who would probably have lost a 50/50 against a toddler

He should be done for Grimes to humanity

 

[Deity]

Speculation, but if he did... we would certainly know.

If he did he wouldn’t have wanted anything in return …. Except unfettered access to the players, manager, access to behind closed doors fixtures., and a small but hard core posse of worshippers.

 

[Jamesimus]

Always thought he’s looked a good player at this level. Swansea fans probably can’t see it because he’s been there 10 years and he’d need to be the pivot in a well balanced midfield to get the best out of him.

Would be impressed by this one. Does this mean Sheaf is potentially exiting sooner than the summer and that’s how the cash has become available?

I’d like to hope he’d be as well as sheaf, get him on a new deal

 

[Lamps]

We couldn't afford Grimes if he was younger.

Only 29 so a few years of top service left. If he was 26 you'd be looking at multiples of the fee.

Since King took over we've been getting rid of our experienced players and signing prospects. Yes they're better value in the long run, but they could do with someone to learn from. Since Lampard took over we have had Bidwell extend his contract mid season and now it looks like Grimes is joining. Grimes will become captain at some stage.

Just the player we need for the playoff push. With EMC and Wright to come back we're turning into a side to worry others.

Speaking as a lefty myself I see nothing wrong with that. Some evidence.

[Jamesimus]

What I will say he’s a bit of “boring” midfielder. But I personally think exactly what we need for balance; that’s why the current system has worked well with Allen playing that deeper roll. That would be Grimes job instead.

Tenuous link!

Me too, but unsure that’s likely. Sounds like Sheaf is off in the summer anyway!

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

Paul Cook in the 90s

I was so happy when we signed him. Classy player, but probably a couple of years too late.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Shame really, we should do everything we can to keep sheaf he’s one of the best midfielders in the league. With him and grimes you have serious options there

 

[Sky Blue Wozza]

This is what we like to see. Season after season of game after game. No long term injuries and great average.

Only played 32 this year though.
Typical Cov

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

If grimes is replacing sheaf then that’s a huge worry

 

[Evo1883]

Obviously a month ago but still

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Obviously a month ago but still

He’s a top top player, Doug simply can’t fuck this up now

It's like the flat earth.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Oh Matty Grimes is magic
He wears his magic hat
Swansea begged for him to stay
But he said nah fuck that
And now he plays in sky blue
He’s city through and through
And when we win the fucking league
He’ll sing fuck swansea too
