Swansea City Captain Matt Grimes is a wanted man - Toon & Saints for starters! 9th Jun 2021 08:00
If there is one crown jewel the swans have either in the shop window, or ready for next season it is Matt Jacob Grimes. Somehow he found himself in the ultimate frisbee team as a fifteen year old, they won the junior national championship in 2011. He even managed to get the MVP award during that championships. He commands the best from himself in everything he does. Since then his football career has gone from ultimate highs to depressive lows. However Matt Grimes hasn’t stuttered or given up, and this is why today he is a wanted man. 0

Not a goal machine
A totally one footed player who isnt a great tackler,erratic passer,shocking goal scoring record ,ghost of a captain and has no pace.

One we can sell and replace with far better.

Totally over rated by many of our fans .

Poll: Christmas. Enjoyable or not

Good player not suited to a rigid static team with no movement,his game is about passing and moving ball quick,but if no runners or movement what can be do other than go sideways or backwards,,in the right team he can control a game...

We'll never know.
Let' not forget he was captain and should have had input in how we played and thus made sure the movement was there for him to pas.

I think he was 100% player however and a great young pro but simply overrated. I mean the lad no harm and if/when he goes then good luck to him. .

He seemed to improve year after year. I think it can be a bad thing relying on one player all the time. Hopefully if he goes our build up play will finally be quicker instead of sideways 100 per cent pass rate stat that sky seems to love. Let's get back to fast wingers beating the man for the centre forward to score.

Personally rather he stayed - otherwise we are replacing full spine of the team - but anything around £8M or more & he’s gone.

If you were going to reintroduce passing and movement to our game you would start with Grimes as one of very few that we have who actually passes and moves into space.

If Cooper is staying there’s no point anyway and he’ll be replaced by another hoof and stand still player for a fraction of the money received for Grimes.

With the brexit rules though it's very hard to find these lads unless they are full internationals playing in the major leagues, they don't come cheap.

Unfair

Cooper is not that positive. Surely a hoof and drop back 5 yards player.

Nah,

Hoof and dropping back 5 (five) yards requires mobility in a player that we can’t afford.

Of course we know because we have seen it under potter when weplayed with width and movement off the ball with players running in behind,he won every accolade that season as he's a passer who can pick out runs and change direction of play quick if it's on,we are too pedestrianised under cooper where we are narrow and deep with not even a centre forward who can make ball stick to play off,he better suited in a high energy team

Mad how at least two premier league teams are interested in Grimes but some of our own fans, who watch him every week, can’t see what he brings to the team.

We have been wrong in buying players ,have we not.?

If Grimes goes to a Prem club

1,we will need an appropriate fee and not the derisory shyte sums we've had and

2.He will be found out and outed very quickly as his lack of pace will tell and he hasnt the physicality to compensate.

It really si about opinons and we should fall out over individual player or managers.

We'll ' be, as we are.

Grimes will thrive in the Premier League - particularly with a footballing team like Southampton. Seems like at least two top managers and clubs rate him. "Lack of pace?"- his speed of recovery got us out of jail so many many times this season. Superb player and a worthy captain by example.

Being linked with Liam Walsh could be £8M in & freebie signed to replace, our American friends will love that as with the wages saving we’d have almost covered the £15M parachute payment drop.

My question is do they watch him every week.

Grimes has his detractors much the same way as Jack Cork had his. The latter went to Burnley and has been a regular bar injuries over the last few seasons in a side that’s still in the PL, meanwhile Swansea have spent 3 seasons in the Championship. Grimes in my opinion is a decent player in the right side with the right players alongside him.

I’m not sure where you’re going with that. My point was it’s odd that at least two, apparently four PL clubs are considering a bid for Grimes, yet some of our fans can’t see what he does for the team.

To answer your second point, if he leaves, I don’t care how he does in the PL. what matters is the impact it will have on our midfield. My money is on detrimental.

Yes he does "well" for us but Im not so sure he will go to a PL club

He is too one footed, clubs spend a lot of time watching players,It makes you wonder why he didnt go at the end of last season or during this.

How much is "agent" talk, Dan James and Joe Rodon got snapped up with far fewer appearances in the Championship than Matty.

I may be proven wrong but I am not sure the PL interest is as "hot" as rumoured.

I dont think you can compare JAck Cork with Matty Cork had played at PL level with us and Southampton many of our fans didnt rate Cork because he "wasnt Leon" different type of player but has done well at Burnley

Again, I wouldn’t care how he got on in the PL, I’d care about the gaping hole in our midfield we’d probably try to patch up cheaply.

I hope you’re right and he’s with us next season. He’s our best midfielder by a distance.

Not sure where you got the Jack Cork comparison from. I rated him while he was here. Different type of player to Grimes.

Potter was very keen to bring in Ryan Woods from Brentford but the club baulked at the £6,m fee. Last season 46 games on loan at Millwall. Could he be a like for like replacement? Out of favour at Stoke who are cutting their cloth not beofre time and woud probably accept a low bid.
