Just glad the penny has finally dropped for Doug and Dean that not every player you sign has to be an early 20s 'project player' that you buy for cheap and sell for high

We probably won't recoup a lot on Grimes, if anything but his pedigree could be invaluable

If we get promoted to the PL within the next 3 seasons, it pays for itself.

Speaks well, seems mature and says the right things.

He’ll be a good experienced head in the dressing room as well as the pitch.

Albeit Nandos is a disappointing generic choice of venue. Footballers favourite though!

If he helps us get back into the Premier League, it would be money well spent.

Don’t think his Mrs statement has helped the swans.

They completed on their new home in Swansea this month and her parents just relocated to Swansea this week.

Really does sound like this moved happened that quickly.

Comes across as him slowly walking to Coventry, with his boots in his bindle, accompanied by sad music... surprised he managed to get here before the deadlne.

That’s a hell of a good signing. Got a feeling that the season is really kicking off for us.

Quite often one team goes on a run that looks like the stars have aligned and they’re unstoppable. Thinking especially of Dowie’s Crystal Palace after he took over a struggling team just before Xmas, got them to the playoffs by the skin of their teeth and won a place in the premier league. Why not us.

Been dipping in and out of this thread as the saga has gone on but do we actually know what happened there for him to suddenly want to leave?

that's a lot of money for someone who it seems has never even had a loan period away from city so who has only made a couple of sub appearances in mens football

smacks of desperation

Hopefully his missus is shallow, and the extra cash he’s earning with us will ensure she doesn’t break his balls over leaving Swansea.

I think the likelihood is that Swansea want to rebuild and he's one of their most saleable assets, despite his importance to the team

Man who named his blog after a derogatory term for a defensive midfielder who focused on possession has questions about us signing a defensive midfielder who focuses on possession.

New Signing: Matt Grimes

If there was any concern as to how ambitious Coventry City were looking to be in the January transfer market, signing the captain of a fellow Championship club is some counter. One of the best cent…

I think he has a fair point and his analysis is usually pretty good. I think the name Sideways Sammy is self-deprecating rather than celebratory too…
