    Not yet. We're on a fifth bid for Will Grigg apparently and there's a few other irons in the fire..

    I'm afraid the Joselu music stopped and NUFC couldn't find a chair :)

    Poor mackems. They put several bids in for Will grigg and even, as they said bid above his club’s valuation (wtf?). Don’t they take the hint?

    Stevie Donald getting pelters off mackems cos he promised them two strikers <laugh>

    They finally got Grigg and paid apparently £4m (inclusive of add ons).

    I’d love Stewie to come and buy my house...

    Me ‘I want £250k’
    Stewie ‘okay i’ll Give you £300k’
    Me ‘eh?’
    Stewie ‘okay £500k’

    Looks like the abuse Stewie got from mackems forced him to really pay over the odds for Will Grieg. Fan power works.

    Can’t wait for them to sing the song we invented at Bordeaux. I’ll have a bit sport on twitter over that one.

    I'd love Ashley to buy my house:

    Me: It's 500k
    Fat Mike: Deal
    Me: BTW there's a 300k mortgage that comes with it
    Fat Mike: Not interested, we already have a deal...

    I reckon Grigg is just a poor man's Greggs, the mackems are all butty and chips...no offence meant Chippy.

    No mate, Mike will do a deal at £500k then find a spec of dust and try to use it to justify then offering £300k. He'll then pull the plug and blame your air freshener as he didn't want to buy anyway.

    Good deal for the Mackems. Next to nothing up front. If Grigg does the business over the next couple of years, it's good business.

    OK, NUFC were lucky enough to get Joselu for a bit more, but that sort of deal is a once a lifetime opportunity.

    £4m for a striker who has proven to be not good enough for the championship. Sunderland must have plenty of money because they won't get it back when they shift him. It may not be a good deal financially but as a supporter do you really care about that? If Griggs gets them out of League 1 this season, I'm sure the fans won't worry about the overspend.

    Of course if they fail to get out of League 1 then some will have plenty to say about how wise this deal was. Not me though. I will too busy pissing myself with laughter.
