    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    People forget but we did have loans last year in Binks and Yasin. We also know that we’ve attempted at least one this window with Rabbi and been rumoured with Chelsea to have a shortlist and been attempting with one. Not to mention tried with Joe Worrall and a Liverpool CM. I think there is a...

    Didn’t Sakamoto just come out nowhere as someone spotted him on the Spain pre season coach?

    I think it’s Sheaf who will make way. End of contract and they appear to fulfil the same role

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Plays DM and I think after Swansea I’d expect him to take his spot

    Pato

    Sadly can’t justify it. Hope he does well elsewhere and thanks for helping out. A six month deal with ways for it to be a one year would be the only way I would want to do it

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Swansea have the second highest possession in the league. Press high and up the pitch. It’s not a lack of ability for the defensive stats just a lack of time the opposition have the ball. Cant tackle someone who doesn’t have the ball. Same reason his pass stats are so high as he often has the...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Traditionally yes but not always. Still think Grimes numbers would be high compared to the rest of Swansea. Same reason his pass stats are really high is due to the amount of the ball they keep. Can’t tackle a player who doesn’t have the ball

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    I mean depends on the system and the player. Some systems will put in a DM who is there to win the ball back and retain the ball. Ala Ben Sheaf 22/23. Some systems will want them to act more as a quarterback and move the ball and create chances from deep. Both exist still although the later is...

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    While there not great I would add that due to Swansea retaining more of the ball then any team bar Leeds, stats such as ground duels are going to be lower as he would be facing less of them

    I always think the opposite to be fair, people often see what they want to see. If they have an opinion that he only plays it sideways they’ll discredit the forward passes and focus only on the safe ones. Stats can’t have opinions, it’s just the facts.

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Unless the agents leaked to try and force it though after two offers were turned down?

    Transfer Rumour Matt Grimes

    Sure someone will tell me different but he was always going to go. I think Mark stated he told him this on the coach back.
