I’d argue tho we already replaced him with Grimes. Ideal world they’d get someone to compete with Torp

how can he be a replacement if he's already here

You sure we went for both? Not wanting to doubt you - just surprised at the cash that would have costed us. Especially as it looks like there is no "major" player outgoings. Could be a rare exciting deadline day for us, just a shame it finishes at 7pm!

Yeah it seems like there could be a bit of late movement.
I don't take everything i get told for fact myself, only passing on a few snippets of what i hear. He's usually pretty good for info though. As always, nobody really knows everything as the club are trying to do things under the radar now.

Selling Sheaf for millions to replace him with a loan would be pretty bad to be honest.

Not sure on how Frank sees Eccles but a capable replacement I think?

If it is true also seems odd for Sheaf to be on the bench for us, unless its literally happened in the last 12-18 hours

Embarrassing, who gives a flying fuck about the most random teams in our league making signings we have no relevance too

The consensus the start of this summer was we wanted to upgrade Eccles if possible. Him being a capable replacement now is cope.

If we keep MVE, Rudoni etc and Sheaf is the biggish sale then fine…

Yeah looks like a done deal. He’s isn’t following any other Cov player.

Maybe why poor Matty Grimes had to run himself into the ground yesterday, no way do you put sheaf anywhere near the pitch if there’s a deal being discussed

No idea if Rak Sakyi could slot straight in to Championship football (likely not immediately), but because of the way he plays, bringing him in as a loan with an option to buy could be excellent succession planning re; Grimes. Similar playing style imo and having Grimes as a mentor would be helpful.

Wrexham's transfer dealings on the face of it don't appear to be on a predetermined basis. They just seem to chuck money at positions they think they need almost on a whim.

Never kicked a football in a professional game and never even had a loan out. Its a massive risk and stinks ofa cheap option. Concerning.

You must be so much fun to be around. You need to stay off transfer threads.

Also Wrexham will probably be challenging us for the top 6 this season, this decision would be ridiculous and kings most embarrassing unless he’s got a proven cm coming in! Even then I wouldn’t sell him regardless

Yeah but Sheaf is not a partner I don't think and not a replacement either from his perspective?

probably the right idea with the cash they’ve got available. Most other clubs cant run things like that though, could be financial suicide

Sheaf and Grimes midfield doesn’t really work. Grimes has barely missed a minute of football for Swansea for the best part of 10 years, the timing isn’t ideal but I this might be our last chance to cash in on Sheaf.
