HR is in talks with Shef It'd according to Sky Sports.

I know its 19:30 in Thailand, but how drunk are you mate? Cracking effort.

I hardly drink, I've drank 2 pints in 2 weeks so not drunk,

Glad you spotted by deliberate mistake, meant HD of course . Shef Utd seem to be signing about 4/5 players in this window so far.

I thought there was,a player there but his work rate out of possession was poor.
I'm sure he learnt lessons that have helped him develop to where he is today.

No doubt but I think we could have seen the current player here if we had tried a bit more

But we made fa cup semis so can be argued we wouldn't have had he played possibly.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He was a tad better for us than you suggest.

This was in his second spell as player manager. In his spell here as a player we had an indifferent first season where we'd have been relegated but for Middlesbrough getting a points deduction: missed 75% of the following season through injury where we were a better side without him; came back in the third season and looked better; had a great fourth and final season which gives people a sunnier view of his overall time here.

 

[David O'Day]

But the fans of the team he is leaving say he is shit and only passes sideways

 

[ceetee]

Grimes is basically Sheaf with fewer mistakes?

That'll do for me

Have to say I agree with this, he looked poor in his first season. Was then out injured when we had an upturn in form, then improved in the third season. His fourth season when his contract was expiring he was absolute class, and then he left on a free, and those near post floated corners...jesus.

You could argue that he didn't have the players around him to make use of his vision in that first year and I know people have different opinions of him, including ex players, but that's what I felt at the time.

Seems some can’t cope with the time between rumour and confirmation. Are they this impatient over the important things in life?

 

[Saddlebrains]

@Saddlebrains any news about darling?

"Sheffield United have joined the race to sign Swansea defender Harry Darling, 25, who has also been linked with a move to Birmingham City. (The Star)"

Yea thats a no go now we wanted the free in the summer

Re: your last paragraph, that's exactly what I'd argue.
Prior to that the team was very static.

Clearly.

There's an element of society that want stuff yesterday by the latest.

Yes I am thank you very much

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Yea thats a no go now we wanted the free in the summer

Maybe we can use agent Bidwell, Lat, Paterson and Grimes to convince him to wait

 

[David O'Day]

Are we Human? Or are we Swansea?

Russell Martin coming into replace Frank end of the year

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Fair enough!

 

[David O'Day]

Russell Martin coming into replace Frank end of the year

hope not

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Fair enough!

Had my left kidney removed in Oct, so just being a bit cautious when it comes to alcohol.

 

[standupforcity]

Taking a long time to get this over the line.

 

[shepardo01]

Slightly different info to the Swansea end, but I'm told no training or anyone at Ryton today, day off with the busy schedule coming up

He is travelling up today though

Medical tomorrow, announcement tomorrow or Friday

Oh no....an additional day for someone to balls this up!

It's a strong argument.

 

[Mr Panda]

Taking a long time to get this over the line.

If the Swans accounts on Twitter are to be believed he's probably in the midst or finishing up his medical right now

 

[Matt smith]

Taking a long time to get this over the line.

No it’s not

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Has he signed yet?

 

[David O'Day]

Taking a long time to get this over the line.

no, no it's really not

 

[Balli001]

no, no it's really not

This forum isnt known for its patience though lets be honest

 

[David O'Day]

i blame football manager

 

[JoeCCFCPUSB]

Bet Grimes is announced either 5pm today or tomorrow, won't be in the squad Saturday tho.

 

[Boicey]

Utter rubbish. Stats-wise he's been pretty much one of the best in his position in this league over the past couple of years.

What stats are those? The ones that are masses of 5 yards backwards and sideways passes?

He's only played about half the games for a start!

 

[CovValleyBoy]

This isn’t a dig at the ITKs because they only pass on what they get told and it adds a lot of value to the forum!

It does seem that they get told contradictory things and specifics that may be exaggerated (things get lost in translation if the info 1st, 2nd or 3rd hand) or misinterpreted because we’re only humans.

"We're only human." Naa we're Cov City
