Apart from Liverpool and Arsenal he could only score against the **** teams. Because he's ****. http://www.swanseacity-mad.co.uk/swansea_city/player/season_141/danny_graham_15398/index.shtml
Funny old thread this. Graham scored bagfuls for Carlisle and Watford, went to Swansea and did better than 1 in 3. He signed for us under a pathetic, defensive manager from an attacking, pure footballing team, and had the fans on his back from day 1 for comments made years ago. By the time Di Canio came in, his confidence was **** to bits and he was never gonna dig it out. He didn't suddenly become ****, he's a very decent player who made the wrong move at the wrong time, for a newly promoted club he'd be a smashing signing. The way you played last season suits Danny, you missed an incredible amount of chances, Danny converts about 1 in 3 (pre-Sunderland). He'd be very good for you, I have no doubt.
This. People writing him off based on 4 months of his career under a defensive and boring manager did not do him justice - look at his time at Waford and Swansea.
Thanks for that, Swans mate of mine reckoned he needed another chance and we could be the place to get it.
Neutral perspective ... honest! Saw Danny Graham a few times when down at the in-laws in Swansea - not in same league as Michu - in the Prem you need to convert when you get chances - DG is not bad as a target man in terms of holding the ball up and also making a nuisance of himself with his physical presence in the opposition box - but his conversion rate is not what I think you are going to require from your 'main striker' in the Prem - perhaps if you could pair him with a 'fox in the box' it might be a different story. Gary Hooper is far more mobile and looks to have a eye for goal - admittedly not in he most competitive of leagues but he'd be my preference of the two in your situation.
Who would you rather us sign? Suarez, RVP, Rooney, Fellaini? The players who bang in the goals consistently in the top flight will go to the top 5 or 6 clubs, not us. Graham has played and scored in the top flight and looked the part in a decent Swansea side but poor in a Sunderland team which had its problems. It baffles me as to who some people expect us to sign.
Exactly. If we're looking at options for players who have played and scored goals in the top flight he is one of the top choices.
Last season people were begging SB Tao grab him in January to be the striker we needed, I was saying he wouldnt drop down after doing well at Swansea & then a disastrous move to Sun'lan & mow he's a bag o' ****e. I have only seen bits of him & he looks decent, like any player there's no guarantee he'll do a job for us, but he has scored in the PL, he needs to move to get his career back on track, why not us, if it is a loan then not too bad a deal. I would prefer Hooper but it seems he's not the player SB/Allams are prepared to shell out on.
I'd love to have Hooper, but our Managing Director said that he priced himself out in terms of wages. So looks like he'll be off to QPR.
January there were numerous people saying that we should get him, I'm not going to go through the whole history of here.
We are being very sensible in the transfer window and Danny Graham would be another brilliant bit of business from Bruce and the allams.
According to sky DC has left the Sunderland training camp in Italy and is returning to England, he is not injured and it is believed Hull City are interested
yes if we was in the championship. his level. his agent must be ****. sunderland have been trying to offload him since may. not seen him linked with even a championship club.did we have all our cards stacked on one player again(austin)? ffs weve been here before.hes ****.
If you look at the post below the original i made a mistake and corrected it from DC to DG HFFP, It looks to me that talks are about to begin with him and i would not be surprised to see him signed up in the next few days
Im with the people in favour of signing Graham, if can get him fit and keep him fit will be a very good piece of business, some people expect way to much, we are a newly promoted prem team and he is one of the top strikers we have being linked with
