[Archived] Transfer Window - January 2016

They haven't updated Conway's new contract, so take the site with a grain of salt.

[Neal]

Would take any of them on that first page except for Best.

[BlueMonday]

Scott Parker In Centre Mid.

Could be the experienced leader we are looking for. Yes he's 35, but at the right price and wages could be worth it on a short deal.

Blue Monday ....as New Order once sang .".It seems like I've been here before "... (Everythings Gone Green)

Another Danny Murphy scenario perhaps ..?

[BlueMonday]

Well any New Order reference gets a thumbs up from me

From Ruined In A Day - "Some people like to deceive you, While others may feel that they need you, While I do the best that I can...."

Parker strikes me as being a decent professional, and besides its a totally different scenario with Lambo in charge.

[McClarky]

Busy summer ahead for us. Of the 10 senior players on that list I would put Olsson and Conway as ones to keep and get shot of the rest.

[beanie]

Conways already signed a new deal.

Could be the new Danny Murphy ? Could be the new Gordon Cowans.

Murphy & Etuhu have scared us off these type of deals for life probably

[bluebruce]

I'm surprised nobody is jizzing at Charlie Austin being on that list. Have we all started to become realistic?

That will be a hell of a signing for someone (someone in the Premiership of course). It made me start nosing around at his situation, and I saw that Pardew reacted angrily to Neil Warnock saying Palace should sign him.

"Neil Warnock was the manager here and he didn't do very well so I am not really interested in his opinion," Pardew said. "Charlie Austin is of no interest to us."

Bit harsh!!

[West Yorks Rover]

Looks like Danny Graham starting for Sunderland.

[Iceman]

Graham starts for Sunderland. Interesting

Rochina captain for Granada against Barcelona.

We cant rule out every experienced player because of murphy.

We would never have had the likes of Moran, Cowans, Hughes etc.

[mattjansen]

Looks like Danny Graham starting for Sunderland.

Only started watching that game but he is playing left midfield, thought he was an out-and-out striker

[chaddyrovers]

Conor Washington off to Reading. Disappointed.

Scored for Peterbrough today against PNE in the FA Cup

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

Only started watching that game but he is playing left midfield, thought he was an out-and-out striker

He is but he's not very good so he's probably just been shunted out to the left wing.

[Dunnfc]

Danny Graham almost 31 should be no where near this club.

It says something that for the last three years he's been loaned out and not wanted at Sunderland christ even Hull sent him back after going 20 games without a goal.

Sunderland fans on him from todays game - http://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/danny-graham-footballer-or-binman.1184210/

Different era ..different wages.

Footballers are mercenaries these days ..owt for nowt.

[BlueMonday]

Could be the new Danny Murphy ? Could be the new Gordon Cowans.

No risk no reward, NO signing is a guaranteed success, but a good manager will carry out due diligence to minimise that risk.

But it would be a shame to rule out ever signing a senior player again just because Danny Murphy was an unprofessional sh!t bag. We'd never get the pleasure of watching the next Cowans or Tugay.

Having said that I don't know if Parker is still a good bet. Injury prone? Good Engine? Legs Gone?

Edit. Didn't see Windy Millers post, who beat me to it

[LDRover]

I think the business under Lambert will be more about getting the right characters in as opposed to marquee signings.

We've enough prima donnas and lazy ne'er do wells, I'll trust Lambert's judgement on changing this culture.

[Damien]

After reading all that I hope we stay well clear of Graham!

[BlooBoy]

All i ll say is which teams currently in the top six have gone down the road of actually buying experience ? Hull at a push ?

I wonder how much of that hate comes down to him being a Geordie?

[West Yorks Rover]

Yeah a bit worrying that, usually a couple of posters will have at least something good to say, about almost any player.

[Salgado Is Still A Hero]

He's mince. I had a housemate at uni who was a Swansea fan so used to watch a lot of their games when he streamed them. Never rated him, even back then. He's worse now as well. I don't know where this target-man or "good foil for Rhodes" stuff comes from either, he's just a poacher. Rarely came forward to show for the ball, just made stupid runs all the time in the opposite direction of the ball.

Would always give a player a chance but I seriously hope we don't sign him.
