Complications on the loan structure and the wages... For hull and Sunderland to sort he finer details
Surely we had something lined up for when this went through? We're not mugs, we knew it was always going to go through at this time, if we really wanted someone in we'd have them lined up. All we need is to get the pre-contract paper work through, can do the medical etc. after 11pm.
Well that's fine then, but I would hope if we were keen to fill that loan spot then we'd have it ready to go. I would have thought we'd be looking at a CB on loan but that's just me.
Cant see anybody else coming in now at this late stage. We were always going to try and offload Graham once we got Long & Jelavic. Although it does seem a bit of a waste of a loan spot.. surely we could find someone to help bolster the squad...

"Blackpool have been waiting for the paperwork from Selhurst Park for the last two hours, but it still has not been received." 22:16 BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis BBC Radio 5 live senior football reporter Ian Dennis DONE DEAL Danny Graham to Middlesbrough "Danny Graham has joined Middlesbrough on loan from Sunderland. I knew about this 11 hours ago but Sunderland delayed this move so long that it leaves Hull unable to fill their now vacant loan berth." 22:17 There's still time Hull - you can always get someone in on loan...
We must have something planned. Why else would we bother agreeing him to offload him? Surely the whole point is to free up a loan spot?
Sounds like we just wanted him off the wage bill...although we probably would have had to subsidise his wages at Middlesbrough.
