https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/47086441 What a ludicrous state the transfer market is where a player who can only do it at Third Division level goes for this kind of money. He has done nothing in the league above. Good signing for them at this level though, but I thought they had no money?
From what the chairman has said this morning, Sunderland would need to get back to the Prem with Grigg playing for them to pay out near the 4 million quoted. There's a huge amount of add ons by all accounts.
Big gamble. The lad can score at this level, but that is way too much to pay for a third flight team. He won't have much resale value if they have to make a fire sale.
I just hope a transfer like the Grigg one to Sunderland hasn't raised the bar too much. There aren't many other clubs that will be able to sign players in such an inflated market.
