Matty Taylor joined Bristol City for around 300,000, surely they wouldn't want too much profit out of the deal given how he hasn't done a great deal there.
Agreed, offer £500,000 for Taylor if Grigg isn't available.
Griggs probably the slighter better option as little bit more proven at this level but Taylor did well at Rovers. Certainly wouldn't be against him and I agree, 500k rising to 700k ish would be enough to get him I reckon.
Taylor has had only one season in L1, 16 goals in 27 games, so is far less proven at this level than Grigg

yeah there's no doubt about that. Grigg has done it at 3 different clubs in League 1 too. I would definitely go for him but just saying Taylor is not a bad alternative if Grigg is out of reach.
No way would we pay £1m + for a League 1 player....more bullshit from KR to look as if we are trying. The fees are now going to be inflated as there is only a week or so left of the transfer window. Should have done our business early like Bury, Fleetwood etc instead of hankering after the likes of Reeves all summer. Wrong priorities.

I agree, I think we will get a loan. I doubt Wigan would loan us Grigg, I am hoping Bristol City change their mind on Matty Taylor.

How do you know they haven't been trying? It is possible to go after more than one player at a time.

Doubt that tweet is real, the other day KR said we wouldn't be spending that sort of money.
Can't see how going after Reeves stops us signing a striker?
Remind me how much Roland paid for Naby Sarr and Polish Pete ?
With Duchatelet it's never completely that he won't spend. It's that largely our big fees have always been totally misspent.
Agreed he has spent he has just spent wrong, if he had just given the budget to Powell and let him crack on he would be sitting in the premiership by now laughing his nuts off with the dosh he has earned.
I think now though he has decided no more and is hoping to either sell or that KR pulls it off with free's and limited money.
Robbo has been over to see RD so maybe he has convinced him to spend, or it has to be balanced with sales/loss of wages (hence his comments that 1 or 2 may leave).
Wigan have a difficult hand to play. If he does not go this window his fee could drop, do they need money or want to spend? Who else is going to offer over £1.2 mil for a striker who did not do great in the Championship?
If this our opening bid we will get our man.
Not sure why Robbo would be discussing our business with anyone though. Never has before and would I think would only do so with permission.
Robinson said in an interview that we will not be one of those clubs that will be spending a million on a striker about a week ago. Make of that what you will, but I'm not entirely convinced that the bid has been tabled for Grigg.
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this just somebody who posted something on his Twitter account? Why should it be true?
I judge everybody as I would like to be judged I would be gutted if people didn't believe my last tweet about those Victoria Secret models and a pool of natural yoghurt.

Charlton have not bid for Wigan striker Will Grigg, News Shopper understands.
He played under Addicks boss Karl Robinson during a loan spell at MK Dons, scoring 22 goals in the 2014/15 campaign, including a brace against Manchester United in the League Cup.
Grigg, 26, has been promoted and relegated with Wigan in two seasons.
The Northern Ireland forward is a proven goalscorer in the third tier, but is currently behind Ivan Toney in the pecking order at the DW Stadium.
Wigan are not prepared to sell Grigg, who has just one year left on his contract, to a League One rival.
And News Shopper has been told that if he was to leave the Latics, it would be for a Championship club.
Grigg scored seven goals in Wigan’s disappointing Championship campaign last term.
His season was ended prematurely with a knee injury, and he is still working his way back to full fitness, appearing off the bench in Wigan’s first three league games.
Charlton want to bring in another striker to push Josh Magennis and Lee Novak.
Robinson has said the club are not willing to spend £1m on a frontman, and that is a fee Wigan would command for Grigg, given his prolific record in recent years.
Think any deal for Grigg is more likley to happen in January when his price drops or in the summer when he is a free agent, especially if we are in the championship by then. I can't see anything other than an unproven loan option to bolster the striking options at this late stage sadly.
Simon Church seen walking down Sparrows. Not sure what that could mean.
He kicked a stone but managed to absorb it with his incredibly spongy foot and is now rooted to the spot. Conincidentally how he played most of this football at the valley.
Genuinely think he was one of the biggest lumps of turd I've seen play for us. There have been a few but he was absolutely hapless imo
Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this just somebody who posted something on his Twitter account? Why should it be true?
It might be the fella who he met whilst working in the Petrol Station when the Magician joined back last November.
Or it could be more Billy bull poo.
The interview with Terry Smith on Charlton Live last Sunday tells you all need to know when it comes to the issues getting the funds from our Disco King owner.
Why go out to Belgium and see him? No joy from his assistant, so chance my arm and see the Belgian John Travolta.

Come on KM, see if you can convince them they really need Novak and he is worth every penny of £1mil in the deal.
