Not convinced Lati at RWB is the way. Although I'd rather keep Grimes and have Lati fill in there until Connor is back, than let Grimes leave and loan Laird. |  |

"I think we've walked in and he's looked at it and gone 'this is probably going to suit me, the way they want to play, and I can be quite an important person in it'."

Got to be cheaper to sign Grimes on and not sign Laird? |  |

And also a good chance of getting more for Grimes next year, after he's had heck of a season at the base of a Russel Martin midfield. I'm really confident he's going to stay now. Plus Martin mentioned Connor in his interview today, which sounds promising, but also may be a reason he feels Laird not so important: "He’ll be with us sooner rather than later, but he’s still got a way to go with his rehab. I haven’t seen him outside of the gym yet. He’s a player I'm really looking forward to working with. He’s an exciting player. But you just can’t rush these guys. Once he’s ready, we’ll look forward to seeing him back on the training pitch." |  |

ANd Grimes is using them as a bargaining chip.....Which ever if we gewt to keep a key player its good....but obviously no PL club is beating the door down for him or he would be off. |  |

How can he use them as a bargaining chip, if they've pulled out? |  |

Think Lowe could bring the biggest fee out the saleable assets. I can't see the yanks going to the close of window with what has been spent plus what is being earmarked to spend to strengthen the squad without a sale to recoup all if not most of what has and will be spent. I say this as I think there will be a suprise when we sign a striker in terms of the outlay in fee 😉 |  |

Yeah I've got that in my head about a new striker as well. Problem is, I've built it up now in my head and could be a big let down in the end. however, I am happy with Piroe in the team tbh anyway I think at the moment. |  |

I wonder where it leaves Walsh and Downes. We're going to have 5 players fighting for 2 positions in midfield if Grimes stays, even before considering giving academy products like Dan Williams a run out. "We'll need everyone" people say but Grimes has played 45, 48 and 48 games in the last three seasons. |  | |  |

Downes will play alongside him, with Walsh possibly further up field in a 3-5-2 |  |

Lowe and Cabango I’d have thought. Grimes and Roberts are out of contract at the end of the season. |  | |  |

Think he played 2 midfielders in front of the back 3 with the wingbacks bombing on at MK Dons. As they weren’t that good at playing the ball out from the back I think that the 2 midfielders in front of the back 3 picked up a number of bookings. May be talking through what I’m sitting on though. |  | |  |
