Absolutely, he is also a wide striker more like a slower version of Woolery, we don't really need another wide striker, an out and out backup winger or a number 10...yes, but not a wide striker.
How wide does a wide striker have to go before he becomes a winger? |

I would suggest somebody who has trained all his career as being a winger and not a striker, a wide striker is a striker who has been trained to play wide in the channels. |

Less the width more how high up the pitch Wingers are expected to perform attacking and defensive duties Wide forwards only need to perform attacking duties |

According to Nixon Sunderland won’t allow Grigg to go to a L1 club and, didn’t realise this, Grigg’s home is only an hour from Swindon.

I read that as well. Thank goodness Sunderland are in L1, we could realistically be in with a chance here and that would be a huge statement of intent wouldn't it? |

How far towards the north west from Swindon can you get in an hour? according to the Blackpool forum he still lives in the north west. |

What's a wing back then?  Just my opinion, but I'd say Isgrove is a winger and I wouldn't say he contributes much defensively (unless, like Saturday, he is employed as a wing back). Woolery, on the other hand, does contribute defensively. |

He's rumoured to be on 20k per week, so I'd imagine our contribution to his wages would be minimal! |

We played in the play offs in 2010. I saw Charlie Austin & Danny Ward score. I know because I was there. |

Having had a read about it, Will Grigg comes from and his family home is still in Solihull.

That's obscene figures isn't it? We would only be able to pay about 10% of those wages I imagine! |

On the Sunderland forum its said to be £10k, still way more than we could afford. |

Having paid 3 million for him you could well believe it. Yes obscene for L1 if true. |
