    Maja could have stayed until the end of the season but he wanted to leave. Forcing him to stay beyond the window may have backfired. We'd have been mental not to cash in now. Also, Maja didn't play well for the team. I can see us scoring more without him tbh as we're now well set up for goals to come from everywhere which is far better than having to rely on one man. The squad looks better now without Maja than it looked with it in. Doubt Grigg will even need the same turnover of goals. But is a natural goal scorer at this level so I'm happy as a pig in **** without Maja. I'm well over him.

    Must be a little bonus for Grigg knowing he was first choice and Donald grafted and grafted to make it happen. Often in the past we've ended up with third or fourth choices or worse and it's showed. We're much more picky now thanks to Ross having a clear vision.

    Just remembered that for pretty much all my life up until a few years ago I thought that the lyrics of the original version of the Will Grigg song were ''my lovers got no money, he's got his trombolise", like ok he might be broke but no worries he's fashioned some kind of godamn mutant trombone and he's going to busk his arse off with it.

    You won't be saying that when me and my trombolise take the music world by storm.

    Good interview with him on Sky Sports, don’t know if it’s from a SAFC.com.

    Alludes to the size of the club, the fact as soon as the interest was known he was clear he wanted to come and the key thing, how much we made it clear we wanted him here was a big draw.

    Doesn’t surprise me to hear all that, but still good to hear.
