I just say this if he had played 16 games for us this season he would have got more goals than these two who Cook as spent how much on
I'd like you to consider this, John, with an open mind and a slightly dispassionate view of the player.
The statistics for Will Grigg, at Championship level, simply do not reflect your opinion. As I say, I did like Grigg as a player and I do think we got away from what made us a potent attacking threat, however -
56 appearances, 9 goals and 5 assists. One goal per 6 and a quarter matches, give or take. If he maintained that same ratio, then he'd have 2 goals, possibly one assist. It isn't exactly way above and beyond our current situation.
The second part of my argument here is this - the way we're set up and playing is even less likely to yield the sort of chances Grigg thrived on. He rarely fashioned himself one out of nothing (but when he did, he'd likely score) and to get £3m now looks like really good business.
