Oh yeah I think he would be better off sticking here for now as it took him 6 months to warm up at this level. Doesn't mean his agent or Poch wont be in his ear telling him to test himself at a higher level.

Bassette as wellThe same agent as Oliver Dovin:
Interesting that the club have a appointed agent these daysBassette as well
I saw someone post his dad was a cov fan. Think it’s bollocks but thought to shareWe offered more money and he loves Lampard more?
It’s a bit of PR to avoid so much pressure imoIsn't he going from £20k to £25k a week? I get that's a 25% increase on current salary but its being made out that he's going from £2k to £25k.
it's really weird and slightly unbecoming, it's like there are realising they aren't the big club they thought and don't like it.Swansea acting really weird in the media, it looks.
I know it's a formality at this stage, but there is a precedent on how clubs handle transfers.
This is just embarrassing. Really poor form and attempt at assassinating the character of Swansea's best player and captain.
Standard Welsh behaviourSwansea acting really weird in the media, it looks.

After 10 years of service.This is just embarrassing. Really poor form and attempt at assassinating the character of Swansea's best player and captain.
Tbf they are loosing there captain and best player by a mile, I’d be as pissed off if we lost sheaf to someone else in this leagueSwansea acting really weird in the media, it looks.

That was really good of them. As they are trying to present themselves as acting in an altruistic manner, presumably they have waived the fee.Thanks lads
They sound screwed with that sort of operating loss year on yearClubs will always try and push the narrative that the player wanted to go, even where it might have been in their interests to sell at that point anyway. He's got two years left and his about to turn 30, his potential value is diminishing. In their last published accounts for y/e 2023 they made an operating loss (excluding amortisation which is a paper loss) of £18m offset with transfer income of £4.5m.
They have also had a loan from Macquarie Bank secured on proceeds from future player sales.
To be fair to Luke Williams if you watch the full press conference he is very respectful about Grimes. He talks for about 5 mins about him and the interviewer keeps pushing him on certain aspects of the deal.
As mentioned above that is not how we operate nowadays. We'll have targets in mind already I would imagine.
MvE is already getting pretty strong interest so we will have a list of targets ready to go.
We are about to sign Grimes so if Sheaf goes we can look to getting in a few prospects maybe.
Wright is a a weird one for me, the World Cup is in the US the end of next season. I'd imagine there will be a push from his agent to get him a bigger stage as he'll be desperate to secure a squad space. But there is a chance he might feel more confident staying where he is settled
For all the shite King gets he has re-invested transfer funds, there is no reason why that would stop. Next evolution for me is to do what Brighton do by doubling up positions with quality prospects as backup. That's the real challenge.
To be fair, the Championship is a better than level than every other 2nd level league in the world.
And Wright has been getting into the US team whilst he's been here.
That has already started.
Grimes is your sheaf replacement.
EMC for Wright.
Bassette is there is BTA/Simms go.

Well it's a quarter of a million a year more , a fair whackIsn't he going from £20k to £25k a week? I get that's a 25% increase on current salary but its being made out that he's going from £2k to £25k.
He was only on a paltry £1,000,000 per year before this.
I see the Charlton fans were saying that if Godden doesn’t score he’s anonymous and I thought yes welcome to our world with Godden in his last 2 seasons ….Can we call him Matty Grimes so Saddle feels better about godden going ?
Hope so, that vacant squad number gnaws at meHe's going to come in as #6 right?
