Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

[A4Jack]

You think Coleman etc have the wherewithal to stipulate that do you?

Probably put a clause in that he can't share any of Luke's tactical masterplan.

Then sue him when Coventry beat us

Hmmmmmmm

I'll get back to you

There is absolutely zero chance that the club have decided that they want to change things up in midfield by selling their captain and someone who has played virtually every minute of the last 6 or 7 seasons in January. When we are in freefall and only 7 points above the relegation zone.

Whatever your view is on Grimes, there is no way this is a deliberate ploy and no way it can be spun in a positive light.

I didn't once state it was a club's decision. Grimes has decided this and it's clear he has downed tools. If you think Grimes is our savour I suggest you go look at our results over the last month and include his performace and attitude. And his leadership. We have 0 on the pitch.

 

[Swans Jack]

Also does this not elaborate why Grimes should not be our captain. If he wants out, I'll drive him to his new club. In football there is too much of this, oh but he is this and that. I'm a fan of Grimes. But a clown can see something was off. And today I am that clown.

Franco plus rotate between Allen and Fulton for the rest of the season, just need to get over the line.

Yep. I won't start a Fulton debate. But mid field needs shake up. Grimes may have the stats. But as stated before, I can get stats from kicking a ball against a wall. But there is no point if it's not going in the chalk drawn goal.

I don't rate him and I don't think he's any sort of saviour.

But we won't replace him with anyone better. Just like we haven't replaced any exiting player with anyone better for a couple of years now.

Ntcham, Downes, Rushworth, Piroe, Manning, Latibeaudiere.... the list goes on.

Do you think they'll replace him with a player who performs a different function then?

There'll be no shake up because they'll just replace him with a worse version.

Can’t wait until we ‘miss out’ on an exciting replacement and Jay Fulton takes over his role for rest of the season.

Who'd you rather keep? Grimes or Williams? or get rid of both? We're going to see how much we miss Grimes very soon

Rumours of Leyton Orient midfielder Ethan Galbraith. So this would make sense. I personally think they will have to bring someone in.

 

[1Jack]

Off you fk. Thats our captain fantastic right there. What a wankr.

The amount of bullshit he takes every week, I think the word wankr, should be aimed at some of our so called supporters.
I don't blame him for wanting out.
He'll be a loss to us, that's for sure.

Williams.

 

[Jdflyer]

The question should be why does he want to move, maybe he's sick of being asked to play the way Russ and Luke have asked him to...just a thought.

it's obviously down to the money, same reason Darling won't be here next year unfortunately

I do think there are better out there. Stats will tell you he is at the top in the championship. But I'll keep saying it. Where has that got us.
