I see he is training with squad, is he going to fulfil his potential or fall in a heap of......?
Notice Lids fans absolutely hated him.

He played in the friendlies aswell.. so I guess they are interested in him at the moment.
quite a few misplaced passes last friendly.. but hopefully he will improve.
I am always of the belief that just because a player is bad for one team... doesn't mean he will be bad for us. Our system and way of playing (which i think we are now going back to) is different from typical ways of playing so players who don't fit traditional way do still work well with us (just look at most players who have left us and did terrible). |  | | |

I think Clement is aware of his 'pedigree' and is taking the opportunity of having an extended look at him before making any decisions. This strikes me as being fair and is the mark of a good Manager. Somehow, I just don't think the kid will make it. I've seen him a few times and he's never impressed. He was worth a punt at 1.25million but probably better off at a L1 club. |  |

Bottom half league one club, maybe.
Still might be a stretch for him. | | | |

This potential Viera deal shows that no matter how terrible they were before, just 1 good season and we could flog Grimes for 25m - actually he's English and young, so make that £50m  |  | | |

The Leeds fan I was talking to suggested League two or even non league would be about his level, reckons he was absolute sh&it for them, and fair play they've seen some sh&it players over the last few years. |  |

I could never see why he was preferred to Josh Sheehan in the U21's myself, Josh came on for him in one of the games that I was lucky enough to see and he shone, he's was head and shoulders above Grimes. |  |

I wonder what the West Ham fans used to say about Leon? | |

Maybe someone was trying to justify spunking £1.5 million we paid for him. 👓 | |

Without doubt, where's Josh now, is he still at Swansea do you know? | |

Not sure, but Exeter seems to spring to mind. | |

He's still with us. He suffered a serious injury last season and is in the process of recovering | | | |

Josh was doing well for Newport before his injury iirc.
Was on the fringes of the first team with Laudrup but fell away when Monk separated the senior and u21 setups (Grimes spent 6 months not even playing u21s games because he was a "first team player" who couldn't make the bench). | | | |

I think he's already fulfilled the limited potential he had.
A career as a lower league show pony awaits. |  | | |

No but I wonder if WHU fans thought that too about Leon.....sometimes its all about the club individuals are at.
Spmeone somewhere spotted something in Grimes maybe from Rogers days but then subsequent managaers changed how we play | |

I don't think he's good enough at a decent level, Championship included be interesting to see over the next few weeks after Clement has had a good look at him, but I'll be surprised if he's still here come the end of the window, be it sold of loaned out.
Leon's totally different, he thinks about the game as he's playing it and reads the game superbly we saw that from his early days here, is problem at WHU was his size. | |

I agree.
Only swans could find a player that is exactly the same age and same position as our brightest prospect. Spunk up £1.7 million in the process - and then ruin both of them.
Great work..... ffs .... |  |
