Barely scored since 2017. Not convinced about it being a good signing either - got enough non-scoring strikers as it is. Need to address why they aren't.

Rumour Connor Lemonheigh-Evans from Torquay incoming. Would be interesting to know if there’s anything in this rumour - would love us to take a punt on him

Can’t help but think this is a Caldwell thing and not a Cotterill one

Like the last line of the article:-
"Town already have four strikers and Shaun Whalley on their books".
Apart from Jason Cummings and Udoh, I would have difficulty naming them too.

I don't think Grigg is what we need now - he was very good at Walsall and Wigan but injuries have taken their toll and it would be a huge punt ( on high wages) to think we could rekindle his goal scoring touch. Better to spend the money on an up and coming player from the lower divisions if we can find one.

Putting Grigg's record over the last couple of seasons to one side, the question is would he fit into the team and the way we play? Assuming we stick with 1 up front then I dont believe he is a target man like Clarke or someone who will chase & chase like Udoh, I think he is more of a 'fox in the box' type player, similar to Cummings I guess. So if we were to bring him in, would that mean we end up playing 2 up front and he plays alongside someone else? If not, then I suspect you'll end up with a similar problem to Cummings in that your playing someone up front on their own, who can't play that role

Looking like Will Grigg could be on . MK Dons manager this morning has ruled them out of singing him and I’ve seen on twitter it could be happening.

If Grigg does come in then I'd be confident in ex-strikers Wilbraham & Cotterill having the nous to get more out of him than Sunderland have managed since he's been there

I trust that SC hasn't forgotten we need a new RWB too, and isn't hoping to get by on Love, Williams and Sears until the end of the season, when he is in the position to offload all 3 if he so wishes.

Maybe his number one target for RWB, ST aren't available until summer so he's making do or getting a loan in like Grigg. We only need to keep up our performances and we'll stay up I've zero doubts. He's creating a longer term project, I feel he'll wait 6 months for the right person not rush them in and panic. Clever.

For what it’s worth I hope we keep Love, nowhere near as bad as some would have believe

I'm sure he won't be coming here unless Sunderland pay enough to make sure he fits in with our wage structure.

The signing of Grigg by Sunderland from Wigan was the highlight of the second documentary "Sunderland til I die". The Sunderland owners were flapping about right up until the last minutes of the transfer window whilst Wigan kept their nerve and got the inflated fee they were after. Grigg never did live up to the fee and it was the beginning of the end for the owners who had little idea of how to run their plaything. Comedy gold. Grigg did well out of it though.

he has the perfect CV for a town signing 3 goals in the last 2 seasons and not too many games he wouldn't terrify grenfell tower residents never mind league 1 defenses Really poor taste

It could well be happening... If it's a 6 month loan it's very low/limited risk, don't mind that.
