I’m extremely confident they wontGrimes and Sheaf will definitely play together (if he signs)
Why would we and have players out of position if what we are doing now is working?
It's not as if what we are doing isn't getting results.
Where has the news come from that he's put in a transfer request? If it's reliable then that is a huge positive.If it’s true he’s put in a transfer request due to them turning down the offers it only shows how keen he is which is a huge positive

Came from a supposed ITK from the Swansea endWhere has the news come from that he's put in a transfer request? If it's reliable then that is a huge positive.
Didn’t we play Hamer and Sheaf together? It’s not necessarily an either/or situation.I think people are missing the point with Grimes. He’s here to play in Sheafs role.
If we play them both in CDM then we will have the same problem as when we had both Eccles and sheaf there, no dynamism.
Either sheaf or grimes will play
Blimey, since when was Coventry the club to go to for a good wage!
Hamer is an 8 not a 6 like grimes. Totally different player profilesDidn’t we play Hamer and Sheaf together? It’s not necessarily an either/or situation.
If Sheaf is unwilling to sign a contract in the summer, we’ll have to sell him. It’s not likely we’ll sell him this window because he’s injured. So for at least 10-15 games in the season, we’ll have both players available.
Unless Sheaf is in line for a January exit I think they will both play togetherI think people are missing the point with Grimes. He’s here to play in Sheafs role.

Correct but imagine after that Norwich loss being told 4 games later we are in the FA Cup fourth round, won 3 in a row in the league and got both Sheaf and Grimes available for our midfield....Hamer is an 8 not a 6 like grimes. Totally different player profiles
Play off final?Cup tied tho so he’ll miss out on Wembley
Though we're not going to have Grimes for forthcoming cup runCorrect but imagine after that Norwich loss being told 4 games later we are in the FA Cup fourth round, won 3 in a row in the league and got both Sheaf and Grimes available for our midfield....
I don’t think Sheaf and Grimes will play in the same team
Enter Jamie AllenThough we're not going to have Grimes for forthcoming cup run
If BTA leaves possibly another striker and maybe a renewal for Allen too. Lampard seems keen on signing a winger too.From what I'm told this is with Sheaf leaving in mind
However
Due to his poor form and Injuries this season, the club and Sheaf are not really expecting the big bucks bids we thought we would get (8 million plus)
I still think Sheaf goes in the summer, but Its not beyond the realm of possibility he signs a 1 year extension. The season both he and the club thought he would have hasn't materialised.
If we can shift Milan for the 10 million plus that we want, and with Vik inevitably leaving Sporting thats still a war chest without cashing in on Sheaf.
We would only really need to replace Milan, get an experienced CB and a decent LB and we would be good to go you'd assume
That's without the likes of the out of contracts wages being reinvested

I just want to start the season from August and not our usual start 15-20 games inThe strongest position Frank will be in for next season (if we don’t get promoted this season) is a few additions and we have a team that is already gelled. Exciting times.
Who was the RB? Have I missed somethingIt seems so, i heard about the talks with the CM and RB about a week before the window, so they've obviously been working through things for a long time. When we establish a good relationship like this, they tend to eventually get done.
Whereas we've seen in the summer, when the clubs agree the fee first, the talks can then break down. This is why i'm of the opinion that the player must be keen.
Fair enough the RB talks looks to have broken down, that's football, but this one seems strong.
That's a strong midfield 3 for this leagueWould imagine Grimes comes in for Sheaf. So would be a flat three of Torp - Grimes - Rudoni
We played Sheaf and Eccles together too, it’s not really fixed.Hamer is an 8 not a 6 like grimes. Totally different player profiles
Would extend as we only have one player who plays on the right wing. Maybe try and get Poku for a free in the summer?Interested to know where we see Sakamoto next summer. Thoughts of extending his deal or letting it run out?
Yes and look how we played doing that. Way too staticWe played Sheaf and Eccles together too, it’s not really fixed.
The profile we actually need from a perspective player is long range passing and a ball carrier in midfield. That’s what Grimes offers so imo, would slot in nicely alongside Sheaf.
I was just referring to what i was told at the start of the window. That we had been in ongoing talks with a RB and CM, it seems as though the RB talks have broken down by what i was told Saturday, but the CM ones were still going strong.Who was the RB? Have I missed something
I love sakaInterested to know where we see Sakamoto next summer. Thoughts of extending his deal or letting it run out?

I guess only caveat is along with MVE I wouldn’t be surprised to see Haji go as well. But we’re talking significant cash. So all good.
We finished 9th last season and Grimes is more like Hamer than Eccles, if you want to build a profile of the two.Yes and look how we played doing that. Way too static
Sargent has been in this league for a while now hasn't he? I don't think its affected his international career too much.Famous last words from me but I don't think he goes this summer
We have a year option in our favour we can trigger for a start. However I see a lot of people saying he will want a move to get in the USA Squad.
There's no guarantee if he moves to a higher level that he will do any good. Whereas here, he can be a 20 plus goal a season striker piece of piss and guarantee his place in the USA World Cup squad that way
