Would also need to go through some sort of medical, hopefully this morning. Hope we have an option to buy, would hate for him to do well and then Sunderland just recall him.
We'll send a scouting party to Jo Brand's nether regions to confirm this, but don't hold your breath.
the good thing is I really believe in players reviving careers and therefore I see the appeal in getting a player that comes off a bad spell at a club because he will be extra motivated and pretty much can't do worse than his spell at Sunderland. Also happy with a loan to see how he does with a buy option. Actually not too upset about this think he could be good for us. Good stuff Bruce. Bruce is so shrewd with the transfer market it's so impressive.
Im no photoshop expert but it looks dodgy even to me. Anyway, as I said Ive come round to this. He's a far better option than Austin with EPL pedigree and on loan we literally have nothing to lose. The worst that could happen is he plays an absolute blinder and keeps us up and then someone else nicks him. And in terms of a worst case scenario, that's ****ing brilliant! Edit - actually he could break his leg on day 1 and we be stuck with his wages for a year and no striker. On reflection that would be worse.
I for one am pleased that the Graham deal seems to be all but completed. He's a proven goalscorer at this level, and he always looked impressive when at Swansea and Watford. Another shrewd piece of business.
It wont be long before they have the same opinion over PDiC summer transfer business either. Mackems never have been great judges over talent. Correct and spot on. Grahams 14 goals in 2011/12 PL season help keep Swansea in the PL for 2012/13. The same again for Hull City in 2013/14 on TBUB deal is mega business for us. Keeps the transfer kitty well up for a top draw striker signing soon. So what what ? Utter rubbish ^^^^ this. Whoosh. I would prefer Graham to score his goals against the bottom 12 teams actually. On a season long loan / TBUB is fantastic business by the club and Steve Bruce. Vast improvement on both Austin and Hooper actually as Graham is a PL proven goal scorer already. Yes. He has been spotted at the KC already. Classic wum-ming again. Whoosh whoosh whoosh. We have far more than that. This squad is already a 15th placed PL club now imo. I dont see anyone who wont be upto the PL of the ones SB will play. Streets better than the 2008 squad. Yes i agree. It all points to be big bucks being kept for that Big Money Striker espeically if the midfielder is also a free transfer or season long loan. I wonder if the Hobbs loan has anything to do with the Graham loan ? Both being done at the same time. Coincidence maybe ? Part of the deal is that Danny Graham gets all the air miles on his account. Italy to England, England to Portugal and Portugal back to England. Looks good. Proof if any was needed. Hope the knee is ok like.?
We have a new acronym! The TBUB! *saintly music plays as it descends from the Heaven's in a shroud of light*
Ah, explains it then if it's taken off a telly. It just looks 'odd'. I'll tune in for the 10pm bulletin!
