His Mother-in-law relocating to Swansea from Essex recently was probably the deciding factor for him.

I think Sheaf will remain Club Captain - you can’t / shouldn’t strip that mid season - and Grimes will have the armband on the pitch.

The fact that Sheaf is out injured will make that transition easier/more subtle.

You can just tell by the way that Grimes speaks in interviews that he is a natural leader. Even if he doesn’t get actual the armband, I think it’s safe to say we have a new Captain.

We needed some captains to try and get the best out of players on the pitch, hopefully he is the first of many...Welcome Mr Matt Grimes

What’s very evident for all of us is that this is the kind of signing that the likes of Norwich, Preston, Leicester and Sheffield Utd were doing to us not so very long ago.

Poaching our best players and we weren’t in a position to turn offers down.

While I really do feel for Swansea fans-boy is it fucking brilliant to be the predator rather than the prey!

So it was the in-laws moving to Swansea area the deciding factor for him to move then! And not the pull of FL's reputation

Wales target Matt Grimes in bid to change eligibility rules

Ex-Swansea City midfielder Matt Grimes is wanted by Wales - but only if the FAW can agree a change to eligibility rules.

This is ridiculous and should never be allowed to happen

The FAW is lobbying football associations in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland to agree to a rule change which would allow players over the age of 18, who have been registered with a club based in one of the home nations for at least five years, to represent that country.

Can’t agree but might be more open if it was capped it from the nationality of the league not the team.

Thus if an English player plays for TNS they could represent Wales but not if they played for Cardiff.

No wonder he was trying to escape…I’d have fled the country as well if they were trying to make me play for the national team. Poor sod.

No way, it's nonsensical either way and the Welsh FA are likely to lose more players to England than they gain

Having as much influence on games as a top earner should? He could learn a thing or 2 off Bannon.

He's played 2 full games. We have won them both.

Some of our fans are weird.

Thought he’s been decent in both games and has helped calm us down in midfield but more so it’s only two games after being with another team for 300.

He’ll just get better and better once he starts to get a understanding with the lads

That Hillsborough pitch looked even worse than last season, not going to play sexy football on it.

I was asking a question. Bannon is excellent. Your defensiveness is weird.

It's hard to Infuence the game when all your team mates are camped outside our box....

Can't believe people are moaning about him after 2 games - especially when we won them both
