Not only that though:
When sides get relegated from the PL and come down with loads of parachute money, they usually look to sign a Championship-level "sure thing", a seasoned performer who knows the league inside out, someone they can hang their hat on to help get them promoted straight back. You'd think Grimes would surely fit that profile, nearly 300 games now.
6 years since we came down. All that money burning a hole in clubs much bigger than us (like Sheffield United, West Brom etc), scouting reports aplenty, and they've never even had a sniff at Grimes. Think the closest we've come was some very sketchy interest from Fulham about 4 years ago, but even then they never put in a formal bid.
It tells you everything you need to know about how he's regarded outside of Swansea.
