 Swansea City “ Can do no more “ to keep Matt Grimes 16th Aug 2021 10:51We are being told that despite a series of attempts to tie Matt Grimes down to a new Swansea City contract he is still to sign or agree to stay at Swansea. With the transfer window closing only two weeks away our source tells us he is “ Very much in two minds about his future” The belief is he will keep his options open - now he knows how much the swans can offer him to remain in west Wales.  0

He's been here long enough to know how the club operates, we've offered what we are able to offer, I expect, if that's not enough and he fancies a new/different challenge or more money, then lets get this transfer done and move on, whilst wishing him good luck for his future.
He's getting older so I can understand him wanting to earn has much has he can. |  |

Or stay for this season and see how it pans out, then walk away if need be with a signing on fee. |  | | |

As our contact has stated, that’s the clubs concern. | |

Does he want to be the "Main Man" or possibly a "Bench Warmer"?
We have seen a lot of our players go down that route in to almost obscurity. | | | |

Or does he not care about either, and want a new Porsche? |  |

it looks like he's planning for his future - can't blame him.
At 26 he's no longer a young player and a move up is unlikely so staying a year and negotiation higher wages in another Championship side next year is a goo strategy for the player.
But would he be going for nothing?
Loan deals suggests we have already made around £6 million from him. |  |

£6m from loaning him out previously? | |

Its irrelevant. If Swansea can get £5m for him they must take it. This is what the scouting group its there for. To find replacements.
Cooper did not mess abut with Asoro. He just told him he had played hs last game for Swansea. He did not take long to sign an new deal elsewhere. |  |

Whilst maximising their earnings, some players are like that and we have to accept it. |  | | |

Irrelevant or not, it's still a valid question. Is that what he meant?
Of course they should take £5m, if offered, with less than a year left on his contract.
I think if anyone had offered near £5m, he'd already be gone. | |

There were talks with Fulham. Either the fee to Swansea or the wages to Grimes were not sufficient. If the fee is agreed and Grimes does not accept the wages the club can make it simpler for him. "Accept the deal with Fulham if you want to actually play football". Two options. Sign with Swansea or Sign with Fulham. | |

Not really. We can’t afford to leave our captain and arguably best player run his deal down without playing him.
The player holds the aces here, the club can’t really change that unfortunately. | | | |

I'd question is ambition if he chooses to stay here. Hopefully he signs a contract with an easy path for him to leave when an offer does come so we can at least get a fee for him. |  |

If he was a held in that high regard then you would have expected serious efforts to be made to pry him away before now, especially given he's only got one year left on his contract.
Odd to be in the same position twice in one summer.
If he's not going to sign a new deal here then the club have little choice but to try and move him on for whatever we can get, which may drive the price closer to the £1.5m mooted in certain places. |  |

Its a stand off. If the club tells him his Swansea career is over Grimes cannot afford to not play until the new year. Downdes in in the building. He has to compromise on his wages either at Swansea or Fulham. He will be losing big money every week and will not be playing either. | |

It’s not no risk to him to run down his contract. He’s not a good enough player to be forgiven a bad season and injuries can be capricious in their timing. He doesn’t have all the cards. Other clubs won’t be queueing up to give Matthew Grimes a sweeter deal than he has with us.
Maybe when Cooper gets the Derby job…but they are skint. |  |

The Hedge fund will do feck all to keep him, we all know that.
They will sell anything that will help them pocket a $ from us.
Cant believe there are still people out there naive and stupid enough not to understand that the whole point of a hedge fund is to make money THEMSELVES. [Post edited 16 Aug 2021 15:59]

I'm more confident in how we'll do without him having seen Downes play. Being reliant on Smith, Fulton or Walsh to fill Grimes' boots was worrying. | | | |

Stop using 'we'. You speak only for yourself. I reckon Silverstein is in town to sort out a few financial things.
I thought you Brexit people wanted closer integration with our US colonial cousins? You have it at Swansea in action. | |

Nothing we can do though is there Ayew Fer and lots of others have left for free.
All the power is with the player which is unfair on the club in my opinion.
The Bosman rule just gives players huge signing on fees to go with a massive wage as well.
Whilst clubs struggle. | |

Bit different with Ayew and Fer as no other clubs would match what we were already paying them, let alone improve on it.
People should hold the power rather than the businesses that employ them. Clubs holding a player's registration is already murky ground. | | | |

This is the problem the club gets by leaving contracts run down. Sometimes it works Sometimes it doesn't. With Grimes and Roberts it hasn't. | | | |

You seem anti American with Swansea but very pro Yank with the whole UK economy. US food US food undercutting out farmers with lower standards? US business practices including hedge funds opening up the UK market. All great for you but not the "soccer".
What a hypocrite.
I do not need to make excuses for the so called "sellouts" . Their philosophy persists and this week two sponsorship deals reported from the old regime. Its helping to pay for Grimes's new contract offer. | |
