Didn’t get much of a game but looked lively.
I reckon we will snap him up. |  |

Of course. Grimes isn’t going to go to pieces if you pass it to his right. He’ll shift it to his left within the first touch or two though, because if he’s looking to play a difficult ball or shoot, that’s where he wants it. |
There lies the problem. That extra couple of seconds needed. It usually cocks a flowing move up.
Grimes passes to the left wing a lot more than he does to the right wing. In fact he usually passes back so the man behind sprays it to the right. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

He couldn’t play it to his left from there. They were square on and Grimes was to his left. All he could do was put it in front of him and let Grimes make the decision.
Unless you’re saying he could have played a slower ball which would have forced Grimes to use his right?
Definitely the correct pass. |
It gave Grimes the different options shoot first time or let it cross him, the defender expected the first time shot, we have been guilty of slow passing on the edge of the box, nice pass as well by Josh Thomas after the defender made the mistake and the quick passing changed the points of attack causing gaps to open up. |  | | |

Didn’t mean to turn this thread into a character assassination on Grimes.
Point I tried to make was Providence probably wouldn’t have known things like that which makes his performance more impressive. | | | |

Both us and Oxford have offered him terms. |  | | |

He's ours then, Oxford should have cut a deal when he was there. |  | | |

"Swansea and Oxford are now keen to follow up on their interest by making formal offers to his Austrian club, TSV Hartberg."
So he wasn't a free agent on trial, we have to pay a fee???? | | | |

Same scenario us getting money for 23year old Latibeaudie? | | | |

Hopefully the fee will be minor less than £500k and any deal would be assessed taking into account his wages demands.
The club would not want to pay a fee and big wages for a one year deal. A loan to a buy could be an option. The Austrians would probably not favour this. |  |

I’m not sure why you are so confident of that happening. I think Oxford woukd pay the same as we do and he’d be a main player possibly for them rather than a squad player for us?
However, he may present an opportunity to capitalise on if we bring him on.
What do I know?😁 |  |

Very Interesting Keef, if he is still with us for another 2 days then we might be serious about him. | | | |

With him here and not there, plus we made him an offer while he is with us rather than afterthought was my thinking. Now there is a fee involved I'm not so sure. | | | |

He’s seen the facilities and training methods at both clubs.
That will have a big influence on him.
His salary is rumoured at €2,900 (euro) a week.
Now it seems there’s a transfer fee ( I think it will be take on his contract for the remainder of the two years that allegedly he has left) and up it by whatever they agree salary wise.
His advisors aren’t daft, they will tell him there’s far more opportunity at Swansea than Oxford. Not only to move on to better things but to play for what is a bigger club. | |

We’d at least be able to guarantee him a second season at Championship level if not even better. Oxford might survive but it will be tough for them. | | | |

Oxford Utd or Swansea City?
Dear God.
No comparison
Like co paring Solihull Moors and Man City | |

Chaps, we are sounding a bit ‘up ourselves’ on this thread. Ever heard of hubris?
He could be guaranteed more starting XI football with Oxford. I’d not be too confident about this but I would be disappointed in Saturday’s showing. | |

I think our transfer activity is far better than last year, we’ve shipped some deadwood and apparently more good players incoming. We’ll not be relegated, lady Hamilton is a Virgin poke my eye out and cut off my arm off if I’m wrong.

I agree but there are others who wouldn't | |

Transfer window has a while to go before it closes, who to say we won't see one or two squad players who have gained valuable Championship experience leaving thinking they will not be first choice and will want more first team starts.
The team and substitutions against Rio in the friendly functioned quite well over the 90 minutes if you excuse the ten minutes of over confidence, thinking the opposition at the start of the second half would not come out fighting and even giving them the boxing gloves to do so.We have seen it too often, let's slow the game down. No! Crank up the pressure at the start of each half.
Until the season starts and new player are up to speed and injured players are back we won't know who William's will pick because at some point players are going to be disappointed they are not first choice. If we are winning games there can be no complaints but if we are losing games and players are not first choice things might turn sour very quickly. | | | |

Oh yeah baby we are in a better place than last year aren't we🙄
Our starting 11 on Saturday shows we are on our arse, we have cullen as our no1 striker with an untried Slovenian (who will probably come good🤞) and a youngster from the u21s, we have no cover in midfield because we have 3 players out injured, no cover for centre half unless you count pedersen who williams didn't fancy, we only have naughton to cover at full back as it's the same with tjoe and finally we have 2 youngsters vying for the goalkeeper spot on the bench.
We only have 4 players who out injured who are counted as squad players so if people think we are in a better place than last year then they are deluded, the only hope we have is if williams can get a tune out of the youngsters 🙏
Fwiw I am really looking forward to going to boro on Saturday, meeting a few jacks I know, having a few beers and shouting the boys on COYJB 🦢 [Post edited 6 Aug 9:35]
