They’ve been criticising him for years, not just because he is leaving. Their concerns with him are all things I have noticed when watching him play too. The stats even back them up.

You lot complaining about Sheaf ‘slowing us down’ are in for a real shock with Grimes.

Yes that’s the premise of a charity bet👍🏻

Interesting comments regarding his failed move to Leeds. Also interesting that his whole family now live in West Wales. Hopefully that doesn’t hinder him here.

But if the bet doesn’t come in the charity gets nothing. This is a way of guaranteeing a charity gets £50. I’m not sure you understand the premise of a charity bet. They don’t only happen when the odds are even.

It looks like 4-3-3 will be the way forward based on the Lampards comments about wingers. I’ve been trying to think of a player to compare Grimes to and the closest I can think of is Ollie Norwood. Very gifted on the ball, plays deep, model pro but isn’t a tough tackling, shouty captain type at...

If we were going to loan someone, cover for the right wing makes a lot of sense

Why not when it’s for charity?

He’s a defensive midfielder positionally. Not in his style of play. He’s better on ball than off

Love it!

There would be no need to pursue Schlupp unless we intended to play him at cm. We need a right sided player now.

I’ll happily have a £50 charity bet with anyone that we do not get promoted

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

It’s a huge u-turn again from him. Perhaps even a desperation move to get promoted within his 5 year time scale.

That’s an awful lot. Hopefully in including add ons!

Seems they have disliked him for a while: https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/forum/312091/page:1

Should Grimes arrive would that spell the end of the more direct style of play that has always brought us results? Can’t imagine Grimes will have joined without a return to the slow patient build up.

He isn’t on Sheaf’s level let’s be real. A good player none the less

Makes sense. He’s been poor under Luke Williams and we are in need of that player profile. Will allow Eccles to cover MVE at right back and relieves the pressure to replace Sheaf straight away in the summer. Wouldn’t be paying millions though

What a fantastic player, him and Maddison the best to have played for us during that era
