    Found a reference to Liverpool joining the race with Sunderland for Grimes way back in May. Must be a very slow race :)

    He was Exeter's best player by far when they lost to Warrington in the FA Cup the other week. Good player.

    I guess it's only fair we take him after we took Seaborne off them. :)

    The thing is, if I was an Exeter city fan, I'd want the player to stay for a little while longer. They need good players and a good manager, because if you do well you get AFC Bournemouth.

    Saints may well be a great club for middle sized clubs in the PL, but the Cherries are the same for the little ones. Surely every South Coast club, [apart from Saints] must be looking at Bournemouth and asking... why not us..?

    And why not indeed..? I hope the lad stays there and makes a lasting contribution before making the step.

    That's a very thoughtful view TSS and would be good if true. Exeter however are in dire financial problems and maybe £1m or so would save that club. It would be good if we took a 'gamble' and signed him, leaving him there for another season to see how he progresses.

    He scored a great free kick yesterday, just watched the FL Show. He does look a good player but League 2 to Champions League would be one hell of a step. <whistle>

    That doesn't make any sense. He already wears red and white stripes. Shouldn't change too much at once young man.
