It'd be a refreshing change if you explained why you rate Grimes (or indeed any other player) using examples of what you've seen. Good play that they've been a part of. Attributes that they bring to the side, instead of boring the pants off everyone by telling us what Fotmob thinks of them...

From here it looks like you mostly parotting stats collated by someone else.

Do you plan on doing any thinking of your own on the subject?

Eom certainly should have five or six in him through a season.

He scored seven last season despite being in and out of the team and not having a manager who had a clue how to use him until the end of February. Given a regular starting berth under Sheehan and a continuation of the way we played at the end of the campaign and I think he's capable of doubling...

Both things are true. Matt Grimes does come from that strain of footballer who can shake off knocks and potential injuries that would put other players out. Ashley Williams is cut from the same cloth. Call it luck, good genes, whatever you like. These players exist. On the other hand, clearly...

Gratifying to see that the players appreciated the work that KJ did, even if lots of fans (and the club when they whitewashed him out of history in that "documentary") at the time didn't.

I guess it depends if they've got an option for an extra year with him. If it's a case of cashing in or losing him for nowt then they'll probably go for the former.

Most of those probably came in the Potter season.

Also see your midfielder who recycles the ball frequently from flank to flank as the wingers have been directly instructed not to take their man on unless they're certain of success. That counts as both a progressive pass and a completed pass in the final third, even though neither have actually...

Well no, because a Premier League team paid quite a lot of money for LoB because they thought that he was good enough, whereas no Premier League team has ever tried to sign Grimes from us.

And this is the inconvenient truth that all those who have spent the last ten years telling us how indispensable Grimes is have to face. Not once has anyone further up the pyramid ever made a serious attempt to sign him. Not even the managers who lauded him when they were here bothered. The...

Yep. Been saying it since that time. Grimes might have worn the armband, but Ayew was the leader of that team.

They're getting there. The number of them who think like that will increase over time.

Going back to a Cat 1 academy would cost millions per year in additional running costs. Millions that might have to come out of the first team budget. Looks more like we're moving towards more of a Brentford model. Buy low, sell high.

Weren't we due to play them in the cup or something?

Maybe a middle ground. Keep the blackout for the Premier League. Or allow clubs to show games only at their own premises like this rather than nationally broadcast them.

I'm fuzzy on how that all works. Are the current away game streams for fans abroad only?
