    Re: The Sinking ship down West

    Not really that arsed about what Swansea are doing, but that's surely a massive blow for them, even if he is nearly 30. Especially if he's asked to leave.

    He's absolutely integral to the way they play and obviously a massive character in their dressing room - didn't Luke Williams say earlier this season that he lets him do the team talks?

      They are presumably still ironing out the deal.

        I trust they cleaned it first.

            3.5m is not stupid money though is it. Its chicken feed in todays football market. To replace Grimes with a younger version they would need to spend easily 2m to get a league 1 player with potential, so hardly any profit to be made from the deal and they are losing arguably their best player. Certainly top 3.

            Not like the days when they were regualrly selling players for north of 15 million. Gylfi went for a reported 40 million. Bony 30m. Ayew 25m,etc,etc,etc.

            Jenkins was the Welsh Daniel Levy. He drove a hard bargain.

              I’m really hoping that they’re unable to pay over the odds salaries to get mercenaries down there anymore.

                True , Sheffield United looking at Darling, who has refused to sign a new deal as of writing , looks like the club is looking downward and in decline for the first time in decade or more

                Lovely :hehe:

                  Swansea were always pretty good at bringing in replacement players after selling, they would get them up and running quickly, then sell them on at a profit. That's stalled over the past few seasons and it's something they have relied on hugely. They could start to really struggle unless this new lot invest.

                    Too far right. Won't move into centre field, fires too many shots from a right position.

                      Swansea City officials have received 'death threats'

                      Swansea City's Supporters Trust says people involved with running the club have received death threats over the perceived failings at the Swansea.com Stadium.


                      Oh Bless death threats because we battered them.


                      Grimes exit would leave Swans with another hole to fill

                      Matt Grimes has played in all but four of Swansea City's 305 league games since relegation from the top flight in 2018.

                      Swansea City's transfer window has been a deeply frustrating and underwhelming one so far

                            I'm surprised the Blades didn't come in for him.

                              Think it was the QPR game when they won 3-0 with all of the goals coming in the first half.

                              Thought the manager's inappropriate comments about him being linked with the West Brom job were a minor distraction at first, but it seems to have had a devastating impact on them - I may be wrong, but I don't think Grimes leaves if they weren't made.
