The more I see if him he actually looks worse.
Made a thread last year saying this aswell and got every excuse under the sun
f***ing useless would rather have kimpioka leading the line , or even someone out of the crowd
Obviously McNulty is in but gotta be worth a go . This Grigg bloke is totally pointless

One of the laziest players I've ever seen in a Sunderland shirt

Something not right with him
 
which begs the questions
a) why buy him
b) did JR want him
c) Can we change the system to suit him if player cannot adjust
d) how long do we persist with it ?

a) why buy him - to score goals - FAIL
b) did JR want him - We’ll never know
c) Can we change the system to suit him if player cannot adjust - Not going to happen
d) how long do we persist with it ? -Pass
 
He doesn’t want to be here sadly. He’s not even trying now. Wyke may be shite but he puts himself about at least and looks interested.
 
Not sure this system arguement holds any weight. When he has a shot he inevitably misses. Sometimes complete sitters.

This - people making excuses and hoying shite at the manager.

Nee idea how he has scored so many at this level as he barely seems to try a lick and his movement for a poacher is cack. The amount of times he is behind the defender is baffling.

Agreed, I am very much in the Ross is not good enough camp but you can’t blame him for grigg not giving a fuck. The lad has barely broke a sweat since his first 5 games where he was grafting his nuts off despite the chances not going in. He is a man off at minute. McNulty and watmore as the front 2 in the 352 Saturday I think.

If Ross persists with 352 I doubt he'll last till October

Played in the wrong system with the wrong style of play. It's not rocket science.
Totally agree. He needs a midfield to do all the running for him then put it on a plate for him 6 yards out. Sadly we need more than that from our forwards. He is a waste of space and my heart sinks when he is in the starting line up.
He annoys me more than Rodwell although that's not his fault.

Donald didn't seem to realise Grigg was carrying an injury and was out of condition, two things to bear in mind when making a panic buy.

I'm don't believe Jack Ross wanted to buy him as he's never accommodated him into his team.

He's not a hard player to work out,
you pump balls at him and he scores a few. Problem being this team didn't create that many chances when Maja was here and certainly didn't at the end of the season.

We could sell him but what would we get back? If his wages are as high as his fee we'd need to subsidise them and his fee would be tiny.

Absolutely baffling signing.
It’s signings like this that nearly wrecked our club. Panic buys, over paying for them and giving them high wages. When SD took over I thought we had stopped doing this. I was wrong. We are lumbered with him for another 3 years as we couldn’t give home away. His attitude is rancid.

He reminds me a lot of Andy Gray (spelling may be wrong)...high scorer elsewhere, clearly couldn't give a fuck for us.
