Neither Roberts no Grimes want to be at Swansea next season but are happy to run down their deals. 3-4 months ago they were absolutely essential for the promotion charge and no doubt would have signed new deals had SCFC been successful. Neither have signed contracts in front of them.
Time to move on. Liard and Downdes are already made replacements in the building.
Do not blame Winter. He was slagged of for the £11m+ deal for Rodon . That was excellent business in hindsight. Ayew would not leave the parachute money behind and wanted to play at 'the highest level possible' and not sign a new deal with Swansea. The highest league possible is Qatar apparently. Players words mean nothing.
TI recommended the club played hard ball with Grimes and Roberts pre season. Cooper did it with Asoro.
Winters could simply have said in June after a contract deadline. "Roberts and Grimes have played their last games for Swansea at Wembley". | |

How was the Rodon deal “excellent”? | | | |

1.5 million initial bid rejected. I cant see them going as high as 5 million.
Burnley hoping to sign Cyrus Christie for free from Fulham, a right back.
Conor may be a back up in case they dont get Christie or vice versa. [Post edited 30 Aug 2021 18:00]

£11m was scoffed at by Swansea fans with £4m to come.
Fiction - A "Daniel Levy masterclass and an humiliation for Winter".
Fact - Rodon has still not established himself and is dogged by injuries. Spurs probably regret paying so much.
Demorai Gray was signed for £1.5m and delivering. Tsimikas at liverpool is playing every week and was cheaper than Joe. Robert Dickie for example could have been signed for half that fee. | |

Conner doesn't want to leave, he's close to his family and friends here, his partner is dead against moving to for same reason's.
Not saying he won't leave, now or later, but that's what I was told weeks ago. | |

no but Roberto knew the strengths and weaknesses of the majority of his squad his plan was to play out raththan hoof it out and used Leon as an outball for the centre backs with the aim to get the ball forward quickly...he also set up the team so there was someone available to receive a pass...he also evolved the style as different players joined. In Martin we have a self confessed " one trick pony" something many called his predecessor....Martinez knew what the players he had could and could not do..that's why he got Leon to do what he did....Martinez managed his resources to achieve passing football in a league used to hoofball and as players like Angel,Bodde,Gomez and Ash arrived the approach evolved. People talk of the Swansea way it 8snt defined purely by a playing style as it evolved from manager to manager | |

Tsimikas won’t start another game whilst Robertson is fit | | | |

Fee agreed. | |

£2.5M is it mate? | |
| |
| Roberts on 08:55 - Aug 31 with 1676 views | KeithHaynes |
It’s a low figure for such a talented player.
Haven’t had anything on the fee yet.
Just that he’s now got an option to leave. | |
| |

It is a crazy figure for such a player.
This is what happens when players are almost out of contract though init.
Let's just hope we can use the money from all sales wisely. | |

To most of us £2.5m is a huge amount of money, but looking at things from a football £2.5m is a snip and if Burnley can sign him for that they’ve got a bargain. | | | |

.
A no-brainer for Roberts.
Deserves the step-up and needs to kick-on under a seasoned, clever manager now.

Well said.
Rodon was worth double that.Ok he hasnt broke through there yet but 11m is less than I thought .Disgusting and worrying.
We really are clueless at business deals compared with the likes of Dan Levy | |

I agree regarding Connor.
Unfortunately 2.5 million is absolute awful business for us. | | | |
| Roberts on 10:07 - Aug 31 with 1513 views | Fireboy2 |
I have stated several times its 4 million not 2.5 million | | | |
| Roberts on 10:08 - Aug 31 with 1511 views | raynor94 |
Yet Mourhino and now Nuno aren't playing him, I think £11 million will turn out to be good business | |

Where have you seen that mate? | |
| |
| Roberts on 10:11 - Aug 31 with 1491 views | guthrieintherain |
Reports saying 2.5 where did you get the 4m from. | |
