"One thing that hasn't been raised is, could Grigg be absolutely buggered?
Spent the entirety of the 2016/17 relegation season nowhere near fully fit with a persitent knee injury which worsend before the operation.

Only reached full fitness in December of last season having struggled to get up to speed for the first 4 months.

Only been fit for the opening 7 games of this season were he scored 3, created a few and his all round play was excellent. Then he's had knee and hamstring issues ever since.

27 now and been plagued with serious, career damaging injuries, so could this be a last ditch attempt to recuperate money on a player who is finished with injuries?

If not then it's a truly stupid sale, if Grigg can get back to full fitness then I've no doubt consistently starting in an attacking team he'd score lots of goals.

His goals per starts against Championship/Premier League sides is very, very impressive given his injury problems during that time."

These injury problems are a bit of a worry, I thought we'd seen the last of signing injury-prone players?

We did it knowingly with Wyke we have form for signing players who are weeks from starting. If that happens with Grigg it will test many supporters patience as we need a boost now with so many games coming up

That’s the whole point of a medical, isn’t it?

Wigan have a 7 page thread on their messageboard about Grigg, ours is 98 pages :lol: it says it all man.

Ha'way Grigg, join a big club and rediscover your goalscoring form in front of a partisan set of fans, playing in a fantastic stadium.

As spurious of that Spurs fan citing facebook like as to why they're a massive clerb.

If you look at his time at Wigan as a whole, his injury record doesn't look too bad to me

Was he a physio around early-mid nineties ? I remember some old dude giving me some proper

He died in 2002 I am not sure when he hung up his sponges. I think another team he helped with was Biddick (is it near fatfield?)

I have told this before but in the 80s a lad took a blow to the goolies, my grandad was about 75 but he sprinted out of the concrete block dugouts with his bucket, got to the player and rammed the sponge straight down the front of the bloke’s shorts. The crowd were in hysterics there were quite a few there at night matches.

I think it may have been him mate. Wish I could remember his name. He was a right character. Definitely in his late 60s/70s and everyone loved him. Seemed really passionate about his footy and Herrington CW. I had a really bad dead leg which lasted about a month. His linament massages before and after the game were a thing of beauty
