After Grigg left us, in his subsequent championship year with Wigan he scored 7 goals from 38 games.
In his championship year with us, Maynard also scored 7 goals from 38 games.
We didn’t pay a million for Maynard
I should hope not!
Since the start of the 2012/13 season, Maynard has scored 17 goals in 141 matches.
Grigg has scored 97 in 247 matches in the same period.
Maynard averages a goal every 8.2 games. Grigg a goal every 2.5 games.
Wigan are going up with Grigg as top scorer, we are going down. Maynard has scored 0 in 24 for Aberdeen this season.
That's why we
should have paid £1 million for Grigg, but why we
ended up with Maynard on the cheap.
The point is, when he stepped up to the Championship the year after us, he did no better than Maynard.
If we had paid a million for exactly the same performance, we would have been slagging off the club for wasting money, and we’d still have been relegated.
