It's worth far more than that. Our gates will drop off a cliff if we're down here for another season, and the owners will lose a lot of momentum and goodwill. We need to be going back up now, we're in such a good position.

Grigg will be one pissed off cookie when Wigan go down, we go up and he doesn’t play. His value will plummet. It’s why I think at the end of the day (literally) he’ll be a Sunderland player. Just an opinion.

From a club stature perspective it's worth everything. Can't be left behind in third tier for another year

They know we are desperate they will hold out for best price and you can't blame them

thats the balancing act isnt it, as failure to get promoted will leave us in a bit of financial doo doos if our outlay on players is huge (in comparison to other clubs)
It’s all just press speculation anyway. No actual quotes from either club. It’s obvious negotiations are ongoing.
I hope we played the same f***ing game with Bordeaux. Screwed every last penny out of them

The £3m asking price was from Roker Report mind, aren’t they likely to have got that directly from Donald/the club.
You must have missed the Khazri news then

This.
I OBVIOUSLY don't want us to be paying out ridiculous fees that will put the club in jeopardy again, but too many people do not realise the implications of us spending an extended period in league 1. We must make sure that we give ourselves the best possible chance of going up without being completely reckless.

Won't have because Maja said he wasn't playing for us anymore. Nice one Josh lad.
I’m sure the 3m being quoted is with add ons if we get back to PL etc. if we paid 1.5 up front with 1m in add ones and Grigg scores 15 goals to fire us up Stuart Donald and Jack will be a genius for having the balls to do it. If he takes that on and we don’t go up he will be all the arseholes under the sun.

Probably applies to all of the players that we're interested in marra

This. The £3m quoted will likely be add ons.
Could be a complete throwaway comment for all we know. “Fuck me they want 3m now” like I said, 3m won’t be upfront anyway. But having said that it’s too much and I very much doubt we would pay it. It’s a negotiation in an ongoing saga.
For 3m to be triggered he would have had to play 100 games and us to be in the PL. then it looks cheap.
We won’t be paying 3m. Wigan want that with add ons. They will probably settle on something like 2.5. 1.5 up front and the rest in add ons based on appearances, promotions. and we are probably not far off that now

I don't think he's bothered about leaving.
I'd rather we went for Moore for that price.
