By bad call I didn't mean not offering him more money, I wasn't referring to anything to do with his contract.
I meant that we were playing players like Chris Johnson, Joe Anderson, Aaron Joseph, Jordan Russell and Denis Armfield ahead of him which gave him cause to look elsewhere, and even if you don't rate him you can't possibly rate him below those others.
That's what I meant, I also admitted that I underrated him as well but I don't get paid to make those calls so my opinion of him is irrelevant.
Funny you mention those names. They all have 1 thing in common, and its something Grigg doesn't have. Which also happens to be his main weakness.
Simply, they can kick, he cannot. Ditto Mitch Robinson and Tom Bell. Plenty of big bodied midfielders out there who lack the ability to use the ball well. You can even throw Cripps in with that lot. Thankfully he is elite in other areas.
Well in order to make a bad call, or a good call, there has to be something to make a call on. In this case the 'call' was about him going or not. Given the reason he went was for more money (or at least the equivalent - but you don't believe rumours) then i'm not sure what 'call' we made that was 'bad'. Hence why this is all about his contract and him WANTING to leave, thus not giving us a 'call' to make.
