Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

[Swans Jack]

Wow what a prick, no wonder he was invisible when Darling was given a red he doesn’t care.

All makes sense now. Sooner he is gone the better. We are giving teams goals away and I know Grimes cannot be solely his fault, he is the captain. And the ship has lost him. Even better I'll make him walk the plank.

Fair points. I would question Latibeaudiere. Personally not a fan, but I get your other points.

No - I thought he was crap too.

But we've essentially replaced him (a young full back/centre back) with Christie/Naughton. Which is a downgrade imo.

This is positive news...is losing him really going to make us weaker?.. our current set up is dreadful, dull and uninspiring and Grimes playing where and how he does it we can do without. He will have a big culture shock under Lampard who will expect him to cover more than 10 yards and mix it a bit.

Well... if he was going to be replaced with a dynamic and inspiring player then it wouldn't make us weaker.

If, however, he's replaced by someone more dull, more uninspiring and worse at football than him, then it will make us weaker.

Good.

I don’t care what he’s like for Coventry, he was killing us. Williams now too please. Use the Grimes money, nice and fitting. G&Ts all round.

For once we can use stats to evaluate Statty. How many non penalty goals, how many assists, how many tackles, how many key interventions, how many inspirational captaincy actions.

Fulton can easily replace him and might even be an upgrade in his proper position. Then get someone in to be a proper midfield partner for Franco. We’d need to replace the gnome faced f***er with Mr Blobby to do worse.

I quite like using the "WhoScored" website to see where players sit in average ratings and stats.

Grimes is currently 127 in the championship ratings. Franco (124), Darling (79) and Cabango (77) are all above him.

Grimes has 1 assist in 29 games...

And that was giving Burnley a ridiculous penalty?

Coventry City fail with two bids for Swansea City star News: The72 - Football League News

Coventry City have seen two bids rejected for Swansea City captain Matt Grimes but are still pushing to sign him, as per BBC Sport.

the72.co.uk

'' The 29-year-old boasts impressive technical ability and his leadership makes him a vital figure as Swans captain. However, the availability he offers is the standout trait he possesses.''

The72 and BBC are saying such crap... Do they watch us?

 

[Pegojack]

I don't think anyone's mentioned another salient fact unless I missed it, but Grimesy is going to be 30 in July.
He is rapidly approaching his 'sell by' date, so if someone is offering 2.5 million for him, I'd grab it.
Not that I've got any confidence in our owners bringing in anyone half decent to replace him.

Like Fulton you mean?

Fulton is an upgrade on nobody, he's a carthorse that shouldn't be anywhere near our first team squad. The fact he is shows how far we are going downhill.

Is this Galbraith any good?

To be honest I’ve been getting the feeling that behind the scenes Grimes is abit of an issue but that’s my feeling.

As I've posted before. He is arrogant. He thinks he is the big "I am" and the other players don't like him. He blatantly undermines Williams (not that would be too difficult as he's an imbecile). So, yep, he is an issue behind the the scenes. Add that too his dross performances. I know what I'd be trying to do

Still crap though. Even if it's their jobs.
