Canary02 III 0 Posted January 27, 2009 Apparantly the Carlisle message boards are full of the rumour that we are about to sign Danny Graham. About 350k should seal the deal. If true I''d love it because I''ve been banging on about how we should sign him since about November![:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coelho 0 Posted January 27, 2009 I''ve got a mate who''s a Boro fan and said he didn''t think he''d make it as a Premiership striker, and he was proven right in the short term. He said Danny was a very physical, combative centre-forward with a good aerial presence, and although he scored bags of goals for Boro''s youth team, he didn''t think he had enough class to score bags of goals at the highest level. Apparently he also has very little pace! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blahblahblah 2 Posted January 27, 2009 There''s a link here that says that Huddersfield might be interested. I don''t know if Lee Clark still keeps in touch with people down here, but if they''ve been rebuffed, maybe he''s put a good word in for Gunny ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chirp 0 Posted January 27, 2009 i think its easy to read between the lines... clark was after him as soon as he become hudds manager... obviously norwich have looked at him and discussed him as an option. will we sign a player on a full time basis before the window closes? possibly only cody... but i think the board will want to throw some money gunns way to appease fans and hopefully bring in a striker who can get the goals assists to keep us out of the mire...

I remember the home match when WBA (if my memory serves me right) tried to rough him up and the Barclay got behind Robbo and the rest is history...goals, goals and more goals.
