Yeah and that was just in one passage of build-up play.I think I saw on Sky he had 120 touches last night
He’ll be a squad player.Whats people’s thoughts on if Grimes will be able to step up the prem? Feels like such a key player for us

He’ll be a squad player.
I think there’s some in the squad who could still improve significantlyI can't see FL not starting him and retaining him as Captain come the first game of next season. From then on it will be up to him to perform and keep his place.

Grimes though is performing as well as he can - I’m not sure he has the pace right at the top of the game but I agree he’ll be around next season whichever league we are in
Disagree.I can't see FL not starting him and retaining him as Captain come the first game of next season. From then on it will be up to him to perform and keep his place.
Disagree.
Assuming we go up I cant see us doing a wholesale replacement either. I guess we will be looking at a GK 2 CB’s, LB and Frank, spending about £50- £60 million on those then I’m not sure where they will spend money on as one of the considerations must be to improve training and getting the academy to level 1 as too many of our youngsters get stolen season after season.If we're going to replace players because of lack of PL pace then we're only going to be able to keep 3 of the current squad, 2 RBs and a keeper!
To be clear, I think he'll be a squad player for us but won't be a first team player.This feels like a great 'I told you so' moment come August![]()
I agree, the only reason I could see him leaving is if someone like Wolves or Burnley offered us £5m for them to build their team around.To be clear, I think he'll be a squad player for us but won't be a first team player.
