I do get confused, a club claims to be in a financial mess one season then two years down the line they are splashing the cash. It's a funny old game.

I've got a hunch this is what we'll do. Hughton know him well and he has a decent pedigree at this level.

Yes, he's looked lively on the couple of occasions I've seen him and is now reasonably experienced at Championship level. Ought to benefit playing off Zamora.
Given the current fees being paid I suspect he'd be in the £4-5m bracket, maybe more? However I'm not sure that Wells is available or is really on our radar.
There's a timely chance to look at him on Saturday....assuming he's fit / available?

We won't. His wages are out of our league.

We wont be paying all of it and I think this is actually more of a realistic target given the connections and ambitions of this club.

Unless Hughton or Barber can improve on the deal they have with Weds, they are currently picking up his entire wage of £35k a week. Can't see why Norwich would let us have him on the cheap.

Im sure its been said on this thread before but worth reiterating - shirley Armstrong from Coventry would be a better bet from almost every angle
For the ladies team?

To put this into perspective, please can someone identify how many of these were penalties.

Don't penalties count then?
How many times since we joined the Championship has our top scorer got 20 or more?
Answer: NONE.
I have been waiting for his name to be mentioned by someone. Thats who would be my choice if I was going for someone currently playing in this division. I havn't seen him play many times but when I have done, I have always liked him. He never seems to be on many teams radar though and I often wondered why that was ?

Hugely hot prospect and unlikely Newcastle want to sell him.

Don't wait for me!

If only he wasn't owned by Newcastle who see him as their next big thing.
EDIT: JINX!
It's actually an interesting shout. He's clearly far too good for League 1, so it could be worth CH suggesting to his contacts at Newcastle that it's time to move the lad's development up a league. Better than Wilson I'd reckon.

Yes, penalties do count, but goals scored in open play count more IMHO

Loan extended to season-long two weeks ago.

Looks like Blackburn already have a replacement lined up.
Danny Graham joining on loan till end of season.
Seems a bit of a waste of money, won't be going up or down. Might be better off signing a decent youngster and give them the rest of the season.

Quite. Plus, he's already on loan at Hillsborough and doing well, so there's every reason to believe they'll seek to either renew the loan (can they do that??) or sign him permanently. Given that he's playing well, playing regularly and getting paid what he wants to be paid, I suspect he's Wednesday's to lose. No reason to think he'd gamble on a spell with us (unless Wednesday really aren't interested in another deal, which would be a major surprise).

Graham is a funny one. Has had a couple of good seasons here & there, always a name on the tip of people's tongues when it comes to potential loan signings. Yet that's the point, isn't it? He's always available on loan. Never seems to settle anywhere or stay for long. Not sure what his recent scoring record is like but I can't imagine it's all that.
