Swans linked : Who is Gonçalo Franco ? Eom Ji-Sung latest on 07:19 - Jul 10 with 1684 views | Dr_Winston | Hopefully more Leon than Grimes. Video showed plenty of LB's tenacity but unfortunately concentrated on moments like that rather than the simpler passing. We need someone not named Matt Grimes to set the tempo of our play. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

I’m ok with Grimes setting our tempo just needs to be 10/15 yards further forward & looking in that direction so if this guy - if he comes of course - can provide the safety net behind Grimes & in front of our back 4 that would be a welcome addition for me. Also helps that his name allows for easy chanting on repeat! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Has almost never worked in practice. Only Potter and Duff have ever pulled Grimes' head out of his arse long enough to actually look capable of playing like that on a consistent basis. | ![](/images/avatars/8802.gif) |

Fair point Dr just with our limited budget/wages this move works for me but I guess we’ll see. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

When Grimes pushes forward or left as last man at corners he is often unable to cope with pacey opposition players pushing forward,so getting the midfield right around him is paramount, Downes had to do so much covering which in many ways our midfield suffered as Grimes then also dropped to join him unnecessarily similar to dropping between two centrehalves, couple of dynamic midfielders would be very welcome hopefully similar to when Joey is in top gear able to brings the best out of Grimes. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Getting the info is the hardest thing to do, and research, we now prefer to do an extra day of research before Willy waving on social media. The in-depth reports seem to be favoured more by people who still have a desire not to just read a twitter post with no foundation. That’s how we see it, as the views we get seem to prove this.👍 | ![](/images/avatars/27565.gif) |

The Broome signing is very odd. He has only played once so far with very little information on him. He did not look particularly athletic to me and seemed to be carrying some timber which is a concern for a footballer. Perhaps the club have seen potential in him and have been focussing on conditioning his large frame and long term injuries perhaps? Nothing was mentioned in Press conferences. It was as if he did not exist. This should all be resolved now and he should be good to go hopefully. I seem to recall he was given a long deal. Perhaps he will be a surprise player this season. | ![](/images/avatars/27402.gif) |
