Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

[Swansea93]

Cov is a shithole.. money talks but quality of life counts for a lot..

Especially with 3 little Welsh children to keep entertained.

 

[Ringwood]

It's a big life change...could be said Grimes is securing his family future, not sure if his wife has a profession locally, 3 kids needing new schools. All for the sake of giving Rachel Reeves more income

Definitely will be spicy if he plays, after reading about his departure

I can't see us allowing the deal to go through in time but if we're stupid enough to do that, then we need to play Liam Cullen as a #10 and tell him when we haven't got the ball you man mark Grimes, stop him getting the ball and piss him off all game.

You can accuse Liam of lacking many things but one thing you can't doubt is that he is a team player. He'll do it without question. Grimes isn't clever or smart enough to deal with that.

See, I would put Franco on him and just get him to harras the hell out of him and force him onto his right foot as much you can.

I think Grimes's head would go if we did this and the fans started getting on his back.

Sort of get what you're saying, but Franco probably won't find himself in the same area of the pitch that Grimes inhabits as much as a #10 does. Could try Franco as a #10 I suppose, that would be different. Might work?

WOL writing it was rumoured only 3 players spoke to Grimes in his farewell meet with the squad on Tuesday.

That doesn't read well for Grimes!

Sounds like most of the players have sent him to Coventry

Lest we forget, he was nothing short of abysmal in the last month. Piss weak in the challenge, being pushed off the ball. Just off. This is all probably for the best.

the transfer has been done under the way hes been playing, under pressure and slip the (ball) problem to someone else to sort out, walk away an say nowt.

 

[Ringwood]

Grimes would pass his way past Cullen..for all his pressing effort he would be chasing shadows.

We talking Matt Grimes here? Fucking hell, you make him sound like Pirlo

 

[Skippyjack]

Coventry fans think he's Pirlo, Swans fans on Twitter wank over his stats and predict the end of times.. Grimes has too much pull in Fairwood, even taking charge of one game in QPR and overrule a manager who was happy with it FFS.. WTF is happening.. I told you all he has too much influence down fairwood

For all his tedious faults.. Grimes wasn't caught to often in possession, that was more the CB traits...oh, and our RB

I heard earlier this week the real reason Grimes had a sudden change of heart & wanted to leave was after some pretty disgusting personal abuse had been aimed at his Family since the Cardiff Game

I know some may say as a professional footballer he needs to suck it up and deal with the abuse and criticism but if my wife & kids were getting death threats I think I’d be the first to get out

Where's the evidence for this version of events then?
