    Given that Swansea were linked with Garner as a Grimes replacement, I'd figure its a sure guess that we brought in Garner instead of Grimes. Close thread.

    If Capoue goes we surely need another CM though.

    We'll have lost 2 (on paper possibly our best 2) and brought in one (Sema at a push would make it two).

    We have a lot more games this season and have already seen Hughes, TDB and Chalobah spend some time injured (haven't heard much about Chalobah's injury from Saturday mind you).

    Phillips is not ready yet.

    Our current CM options leave us pretty low on the ground.

    I hope this thread lives on and Grimes is remembered in the same way we remember Sam Parkin.

    I've sent out some DMs. Hopefully those boots will persuade my sources to give me some information.

    I’d love to sign Grimes but if we do see fit to bring in another DM I think a foreign loan + option/obligation to buy deal makes more sense. To prise Grimes away from Swansea would take £10m or so. Surely bringing in Oriol Busquets or someone in that mould (youngster, out of favour at a bigger foreign club) on loan + option to buy should we get promoted is more plausible. Can see us going without though.

    If Caps goes we need another CM, I'd think.

    Bound to get injuries.

    My contacts have told me that whilst this is a possibility, it is unlikely to happen before the international transfer deadline, although there could still be some movement before then if a few other transfers line up.

    If Capoue is still here in a weeks time, then we're unlikely to move for Grimes, unless we receive a decent transfer windfall elsewhere, which we may or may not do. We're interested, but put off Swansea's current asking price.

    I've just heard more or less the same from one source, and the complete opposite from another. A third source said that the actual truth is somewhere in between. This deal is very much on. Or off. Or it never was.

    More as I hear it.

    Or to quote Peter Hammill:
    I am the one who crossed through space,
    Or stayed where I was,
    Or didn’t exist in the first place.

    Bit like some of our transfer targets.

    I have also heard that you have heard this and that you will continue to say so until you get a like. It was a deleted tweet from Lou Horns.
