    Hi sunderland fan, I understand you seem to hate us, but no insults please <ok>

    What I'm interested in is what your thoughts on Graham's ability and potential ability and if our more direct play would suit him?

    Cheers

    I don't hate Sunderland at all. Just don't get me started on QPR that's all.

    Surprised Graham has gone to the SOL as I think he's on a hiding to nothing.

    Still I don't know why graham went to you, he's going to be on the bench there like here imo

    Would a more direct play suit him - doubtful. He can't hold the ball up for love nor money and I can't remember him scoring many headers for the Swans. He's gone off the rails a bit TVI which is why he has moved home, well nearly home.

    You do seem to have a chip on your shoulders on here? Not sure why, but just an observation, anyway Graham is his own worst enemy, and the only reason he's been scoring goals for us this season, was to make sure he got into the transfer window, he's got some off pitch issues, which our club was glad to see the back of, and he was not relegated to the bench for nothing, at least you have him on form, but for how long? He misses sitters, but works hard on the pitch, fair play to him, but why we sold him for just £5 Million when we payed £3.5 as a Championship player is poor by us, but there you go, just shows how much the club wanted rid of him behind the scenes!................<ok>

    The drink get to him?

    We won't knock it up to him, Fletcher will be responsible for linking up play imo

    What I should have asked is, would he be better if his only work he had to do was in the box, ie not the link up play he may have had to do for you guys

    Possibly.

    In the Championship quite a few of his goals for Watford were balls over the top that he could run onto, but you don't get many chances like that in the Premiership.

    With Fletcher in your team I see Danny swapping the bench at Swansea for the bench at Sunderland

    MoN has been talking and said that he has an idea of how he is going to fit the two in the side

    What I think will happen (not that it should matter to you!) Is that Fletch will play in a CF role and DG upfront

    Only time will tell TVI. Considering home much money Sunderland have spent over the years I think you need to be getting more out of you current players, rather than buy someone who doesn't add anything of significance to your line up.

    Fair point, I agree. Sadly that won't happen, I wish we had made similar signings to you guys, but we came up and due to poor management bought masses of average players and have been cursed since, and when we looked like we were going to progress Bruce dismantled our squad and signed 11 (largely, once again, average) players now MoN (who I trust 100%) is building a proper team

    If he thinks DG will improve us I trust his judgement

    I think you got rid of Saha today, so perhaps MON has taken a large slice off the wage bill and replaced him with Danny, whose real role will probably be to provide useful cover.

    Tit for tat mate, I've seen unnecessary comments from your posters on here about us as well. There's no history between us, so I think it should just be left well alone now.

    If he is going to score it's going from deep in the box - he doesn't take players on, he doesn't win balls in the air and he doesn't shoot from any distance.

    Good player, and will give 100% on the pitch.
    Not always accurate with his shooting, but will also get some good goals.
    His attitude isn't always good off the pitch.
    It's been reported by some he has had drinking problems many people have seen him out on Wind Street on different occasions.
    And his recent interview with Sky Sports wasn't good, just complaining about why he isn't starting. Got himself in the shop window though.

    I will say thank you to him for giving us some goals last season, and this. And wish him luck at Sunderland...I can see him scoring against us.

    Look on the bright side. We still have Vorm, Michu and Chico, each were the subject of some rumor or other. DG is not irreplaceable - the other three would leave a bigger hole to fill.
