Doesn't Cavani have some ridiculous release fee of €63 million?

SSN have reported that we've put in a £5 million bid for Danny Graham. He's a competetent goalscorer at this level and has good dribbling skills, so this would basically be the type of signing that I said I wanted at the start of this thread, minus the pace part. Holty is good mates with Graham (both from Carlisle) so I'm sure he has helped McNasty to tap him up. Would be very happy with this potential signing which would end up becoming our record outgoing fee

So if Graham does go to Norwich then that would be great news for us and Norwich were the only team being linked with Hooper this January so it's now looking increasingly likely that Hooper will be staying with us till the summer unless there some panic buying come deadline day but even then we can play hardball and get an extra couple of million for him if indeed a club put's a bid in for him

Yeah I know the mackems have put in a bid as well Mozza, but I'm banking on the Holt link and the fact that Graham is a massive Toon fan and hates Sunderland . The only thing that I can see swinging it in Sunderland's favour is the idea that he might want to be closer to 'home'. I think that we can compete on the wages front.

I would rather have Graham than Hooper in all honesty danny because there's no guarantee that the latter will be able to cut it at Premier League (that's not Scottish) level, inb4 Champion's League exploits, etc. I do rate Hooper but we need to go with a safe and sensible option right now during a time where we are thin on the ground in regards to strikers, a situation that will be made worse if Cinnamon Jackson goes to Wolves.

No worries BLACKANDRE, weren't sure if you'd hear of their interest or not.

I like Graham, Holt and Graham have both proved they can get goals at this level so it'll be interesting to see them up top together.

A good time to post this Danny Graham interview while it's relevant? I'm gonna say yes.



Why aren't we bidding for him again? Oh yeah, because he's over 26 and not french. He could still sign for Sunderland, since a lot of their players live in Newcastle anyway.

I'm not sure that they will get that opportunity very often to be honest. Hughton prefers to go one up top with Wes playing in the hole (Que McCarthy gif) and rarely throws on a second striker in games, if he does then it tends to be in the 85th minute or later like most of his subs!

Replacing Graham with Jones would be a weird move in my estimation. Kenwyne is stong and athletic (huge jump on him) but his goalscoring record is far from from incredible. Seems like a sideways step for Swansea at best.

That interview fills me with hope Mags.
