Would Danny be a Goalden Graham?

We are finding persistent rumours regarding a £12 million swoop for Swansea City's Danny Graham hard to get our heads round. Not sure we'd need Graham, 27 in our squad unless Darren Bent were to leave and in most people's eyes, that would be seen as a downgrade. Besides which, Danny broke our hearts with that recent last gasp equaliser.

Meanwhile, we'd definitely see the signing of Lazio defender Luis Cavanda 21 as a build-for-the-future signing and it would seem odd to splurging on another inexperienced defender who has never played in the Prem when it seems obvious we need something a bit less of a risk to supplement the current back line.

We fully expect scurrilous rumours to kick off linking us with Millwall players in the next couple of weeks and an unfounded story to emerge in the tabloids (fed by scurrilous websites/twitter feeds) in the days before the cup tie. Standard practice to unsettle the opposition...
