Like to give some examples of strikers with premier league experience who could be bought for similar money and would be willing to come here?
I don't understand all this hostility - he's a clearly a local lad and so has an affinity with NE clubs.
Or maybe he's negotiating a clause that he will play for us but won't have to wear the red and white stripes.
That Lee Clarke was a good player mind...
Are there any actual quotes or genuine evidence of his apparent hatred for all things Sunderland or has his missus merely stated a mild preference for Eldon Square ahead of Jacky Whites of a Thursday night?
He just doesn't seem to like us.
Hate is going a bit far maybe.
Then hanging would be too good, but again where is the proof?

Gary hooper being touted in the press for a similar fee. Hasn't played premiership footy, but done ok in the champions league.
some quotes in this thread somewhere.
I thought someone got it spot on before when they said if asked which striker Sunderland should sign this month I'd be surprised if anyone would have suggested Danny graham.... So why the sudden love in, it's ok to say you don't want us to sign a player

All the below are rumoured to be available for similar fee/cost to Graham and could fulfill the back up striker role to various levels of ability. Danny Graham would be at the lower end if you ranked them on ability.
Kenwyne Jones -no
Cameron Jerome (I know he's not very good but neither is Graham) -no
Djibril Cisse - no
Gary Hooper (no PL experience buy has played CL football) - unsure
Victor Anichebe -fuck yes but no way will he be available or at that price
John Guidetti (No PL experience but has played ina good European League and lived in the UK) - never seen him play
Peter Odemwingie - yes
DJ Campbell -no
I'm not saying we should be signing any of them (Guidetti is probabaly the only one) but I just wanted to highlight that there are plenty of strikers around who we could sign.

Lambert and Holt are both the wrong side of 30 and have played Premier League football for about 5 minutes. You can keep both of the IMO.
I don't get this mass hysteria about Graham either. Look at his career, it's rank average and lower division fodder. Look at him play, he doesn't really do anything exceptionally well, and Swansea (yes Swansea) are prepared to peddle him on the cheap.
His Magness will bring more shite with it, you can ignore it if you want but you're fooling yourself. As soon as he has a bad spell (and he will, for the above mentioned reasons of his rank averageness) then it will all come out. And if he has a stinker against them lot (which a lot of our players do a lot of the time) then he's finished.
Some people just won't acknowledge that his Magness (and all of the offending comments, perceived or otherwise) will be a factor. Very naive IMO.
And for holding this opinion I've been called all the names under the sun and told to fuck off and support someone else. Who's being childish?
