Nixon said Grigg deal isn't completely dead but other club close to doing the deal.
I think if Grigg came back he'd regain his L1 form, I think Sunderland saw Griggs goal scoring record and didn't really take into account what type of player he was and if he would suit their style. He also pretty much said he never wanted to go there, so it was not a good starting point.
Grigg has never been able to hold up a ball or be physical so it was no surprise when he was asked to play like that he struggled, then his confidence sunk, the fans started getting on him, he started getting dropped and unlike Kal or Burn did with us after bad starts Grigg just never bounced back.
I think if Grigg returned he would be so relieved to get out of there and 'back home' and would get a new lease on life.
It's a no brainer if it's possible we take him back. But not sure if due to our state in admin if it is feasible.
