I just watched the reel. You tube can overhype players but……..
This lad is just what we need. I’d play him in between Franco and Cullen as our link player, box to box midfielder. His technical ability is excellent, be it close control , short or long passing he is very good. He carrries the ball between the lines - he will cause havoc whilst running at opposition midfields and defences and this will open up huge gaps in defences which our normal static and barely offensive play cannot.
ALL of our players will benefit from him because he will keep us on the front foot , allowing our defenders not to keep the ball dangerously when there is no option to take the ball off them. Our wingers will finally be able to exploit their pace against disorganized and retreating defences allowing them to get in behind and supply Cullen and Vipotnik.
This, if it comes off (and he is as effective as the ten minute reel) could be one of our most significant transfers in the last 8-10 years. It will herald a new far more aggressive Swansea City style that fans have been crying out for.
His corner taking will be a breath of fresh air too. I hope we get him and don’t mess about - if he were British he’d be worth twice that and hopefully (if he does well) will leave with a much bigger price tag. Please let’s get this done 🙏 |

Absolutely correct. Franco is the Grimes replacement. This lad will be a kind of box to box attacking midfielder who will hopefully gel with Cullen and our wingers. Great if he can carry the ball too. |

He makes runs all the time, reminds me a lot of Piroe. The likes of Grimes especially hold up play so much he’s on a hiding to nothing.
Piroe had the luxury of better players around him , our play is so slow and couple that with the drop off in quality and a negative manager and it’s the imperfect storm for a striker who thrives on quick front foot ball.
Judge Vipotnik when he’s getting the service. If he doesn’t start banging them in I’ll concede you are correct. |

If we get three million pounds for Grimes with the vast majority if not all up front it will be the biggest transfer steal since Galkirk sold us Colin Macdonald!!!! |

Popcorn is ready. Let’s see if Swansea City dragged Matt Grimes back or vice versa- let’s see how Coventry do. Proof of the pudding etc |

Unfit is the key observation. We are piss weak , slow and fall off a Cliff towards the end of games. |

We need our bruisers on (PH, Ginelly, Vipotnik) on to wear sides down to let Eom have a fair chance . Otherwise he just gets bullied out of games |

I don’t think his influence on games (for the most part non existent), his authority or leadership skills would have made him a regular pick let alone captain In any championship side aspiring for promotion . |

Do you think we’ll be worse? Reliance on a player that does nothing is worse. |

You’re really showing yourself up as clueless now. For the umpteenth time how do you expect him not o score when YOUR HERO keeps passing the ball around a back 6 he’s not supposed to be part of!! |
