Will Grigg and the mighty Swindon.

I think so and without doubt we still want the Ginger Pele back.

My thoughts are that Grigg may come for the rest of the season to find his confidence at a club that creates loads of chances and is pushing for promotion.
Will return at the end of the season and if we did get promotion we will try and get a deal done with Doyle who will then be a free agent. We won’t be the only club in the running though.
For us all about getting up and taking stock on what we have and a budget that will not be breached.
If Grigg did come to Swindon without doubt you will be paying the majority of his wages. Like Bradford he is your player and it’s your decision not ours.

What I can tell you is that the atmosphere at Swindon is up there with the best. An amazing dressing room and everyone gets on superbly.
Wellens has created that togetherness and you can see it. He ripped out the problem players and deadwood pre season.
We just want shot of grigg, we don't care if he's going to a club that will look after him, has an amazing atmosphere in the dressing room, and everyone gets on.

The same was said by Bradford fans about Doyle, the rest was history.

Thursday is our press conference day. Tomorrow may be a little longer.
 
I think Will Grigg could be one of those players who struggles to step up in the English leagues but if he went to play in the SPL for one of the better teams he'd do really well.
He’s struggled to score goals for us in the third division. A level of football at which he’s previously scored for fun and a league below the club that we signed him from.

For whatever reason, it just hasn’t worked out for him at SAFC but it’s got nothing to do with stepping up in the English leagues.

I meant he had struggled to step up to the championship after scoring at League 1 level. He seems to be a player who needs too many things to be just right before he looks effective which makes him hit and miss.

Scotland often seems to be the promised land for players whose careers have stalled a bit in England.

Even if you remove his first 2 seasons in league one when he scored 8 in 57, his record is still only a goal every 2.5 games in this league (same as Charlie Wyke in his 18 months in L1 with Bradford, and he was in a relegated not promoted team). Hardly scoring goals for fun?

It's a tricky one. Basically, from 2012-13 to joining us,, he scored 19+ goals every season except the one at Brentford when he was used as a sub more than a starter and often played out of position.
