    I know what you mean but I've got really into the idea of us penny pinching and becoming self sufficient and paying double what players are worth doesn't fit into that.

    If it's 3 mil and Donald is happy with that then obviously he knows what he's doing more than me so I won't lose any sleep about it.

    My point was the figure we paid is about right.

    Wigan trying to get more than his worth, so it was a late deal. 3 million is what they said he was worth if the rumours were true, which is taking the piss.

    Edit: hadn't read other posts before replying to you

    1.5 raising to 3 if he meets certain targets fair enough

    3 raising to 4 is ****ing ridiculous

    His “source” will likely be one of the plebs at the training ground he’s standing outside of

    Maybe it's £1.5M rising to £3M if promoted which might be a sensible compromise I guess.Probably ****e though in reality, media always seem to want to inflate our fees adding iin wages and stuff which is bizarre

    Who gives a feck weve finally got our main striker that bangs goals in for fun in this league. Why are people harping on about how much he cost??
    We used to pay a similar amount for unknown foreigners a few years ago and nobody batted an eye lid!

    3m rising to 4m. If we run out of time to push it through...we could do what we did with Power. Sign him on loan as less paperwork involved with agreement to sign permanent in summer.

    This seems more likely, and is perfectly reasonable.

    Money or the lack of it has been a big deal at Sunderland recently if you hadn't noticed.

    3m isnt exactly going to send us into liquidation is it ffs. Weve just sold a product of our academy for 1.8m rising to 3.5m, so thats Grigg paid for?
    I bet you were stomping round your house an hour ago whinging that weve not signed a striker. Chill out ffs

    If Maja's sale has covered Griggs' purchase then great, I've just got more of an eye on our finances than I used to because I don't want us to **** anything up. No big deal mate.

    I heard 1.5 and I'm more inclined to believe that as it makes sense. No way in he are we paying down an initial 3m of the bat. Too far fetched.

    If we get Griggs in, this will be a great window, well done the new brooms, as we will be stronger in all departments, onwards and upwards.

    Sky originally reported as £1.5m but now they are saying £3m to £4m

    Thats under 5m for a 27 year old international striker thats a proven goalscorer.
    Happy days, well done Donald <applause>.

    Thought maja money was paying off the kazri debt?

    If we've been bullied into spending 3m (up front) on a player worth 1.5, then where's the "piss taking stops now" attitude?

    If it is 3 million up front, I can't help but think we could have got Eaves and another player for the same amount

    But let's see what SD has to say about it when he does the podcast

    His championship record isn't great. That's why people are looking at the price, he might only be a first team player for 4 month. We'll need better if we get promoted. Anyway, I don't want to take the shine off anything. He's a good signing for now and fills a hole that desperately needed filling. We should be challenging for the league now,
