Graham Returns To Wolves
Monday 15 January 2018 16:00
The Club can confirm that Jordan Graham has returned to parent club Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The winger joined Fulham on loan from Wolves on transfer deadline day, but will now link back up with the West Midlands outfit.
Graham made three appearances for the Whites during his loan spell, and we'd like to thank him for all his efforts during his time with us.
Probably best all round.
Standout player in the u23 matches I have seen. But offered no more than any of the other similar wide players we have, so seemed to be surplice to requirements.
Sensible solution.
I wonder how much his stay with us cost us. Any ideas?
Another off the wage bill!
All above just about sum it up.
Best thing that could happen for him and the club.
One out - so one in??????
It's an example of bringing someone in without sufficient consideration which is unfair to the player and wasteful for the club. His performance could easily be ascertained in advance so there's no mileage in saying that he proved to be incompatible/not up to standard or whatever. Unless (the conspiracy theory) he was brought in by someone other than SJ who then determined not to play him notwithstanding his qualities, in which case it's still wasteful of resources.
I've seen Matt Targett has liked a tweet from a fake Ryan Fredericks account - something along the lines of "Graham out frees up space for Targett'
More concerned about the bid in for Cairney from WBA - £12m but they are happy to pay up to £15m. I know he has had injury troubles this year but we turned down £20m from Newcastle in the summer. Would not make sense to accept this if we are serious about going for promotion this season.

Nice little earner for him though, money for nothing, strange how our stat's boys didn't realise that he would have been surplus to requirements when what we really needed was a proper striker, centre back and left back and still do!!!!!!!

Yes a nice little mistake by those responsible for bringing in players, I bet there is no one ready to admit to the poor judgement.
Graham is IMO no better than any of the wingers we already had. So makes sense for him to go.

Yet I seem to remember lots of people thinking he was a good loan at the time.

Somehow I doubt that he saw it as a nice little earner. 22 yrs old professional footballers are more likely to be desperate to play first team football.
Never understood why the club thought yet another wide attacking player was needed, seemed a really odd pickup at the time.
So why exactly did we sign him?
Or more importantly who decided to sign him and if the Head coach has a say (tick) on signings why did he ignore him?
We are not a train station.... oh hang on

I thought the £20m was what the Club thought he was worth and not what Newcastle were offering? I could be wrong though!
Will the U23 struggle without him?
Returns to Wolves Tuesday....
Loaned to Burton Wednesday...
Scores on Saturday...

More a signal box.
Like others I'd seen bits of him in U23 games and to be honest, half decent.
But open it up wider: We have dead wood costing us salaries while youngsters needing encouragement, opportunities, chances to shine are being denied. Accepted they are not all Ryan's but give them a chance. I really think Slav has a big negative/cautious element in him. Surely he can instruct the management to get rid of the 'not good enoughs' and promote from within?
Noticeably we are seemingly not pursuing anyone with any sparkle (if anyone at all frankly). Saturday was great but ..... we need 2 or 3 decent incomers. And if Cairney goes to WBA, well what does that say?
Decent player whose presence was a particular affront to our manager. Team clearly doing what it takes for promotion sees him as not good enough for them. Fulham leadership thought he was good enough for us. Stark discrepancy.
Poor lad has spent six months as the lightening rod. Good luck to him in the future.

It was indeed humour, and we need it on here to laugh at ourselves, and add a little joviality whilst the clock ticks away, otherwise we would all end up on the Funny Farm along with the rest of the "Sense of Humour Bypass Brigade".

A Mr Kline has apparently said there are still a few of the best seats available in the Oregon State Hospital (colloquially known as 'the Cuckoo's Nest') and is looking forward to a few of his old best mates joining him if they satisfy the required statistical references....

Kline would take up at least two beds and most of the staff on his own, as he was definitely a corner flag short of a football pitch.
