No Town Move For Graham - Ipswich Town News
Sunderland striker Danny Graham won’t be joining the Blues on loan, TWTD understands.
Earlier in the week it emerged that Town were one of a number of Championship clubs to have made an approach for the 29-year-old, who is out of manager Gus Poyet’s plans at the Stadium of Light and is available for loan.
Wolves and Leeds have both previously been linked with the former England U20 international, while Middlesbrough, where Graham started his career and spent time on loan last season, are now reported to be showing interest and could be the favourites for his signature.
With new Crystal Palace manager Neil Warnock keen to give former Blues loanee Jonny Williams a chance to show him what he can do - at least until after their Capital One Cup tie against Newcastle United later this month - Town currently seem likely to go into Saturday’s home game against Millwall with no loan additions to the squad. The Eagles are reportedly yet to receive an enquiry regarding the Wales international.
Elsewhere, former Blue Owen Garvan, who spent time training with Town over the summer, has joined Bolton on a 93-day loan from Palace. The Trotters are managed by Dougie Freedman, who was previously Garvan’s boss at Selhurst Park.
The ‘emergency loan window’ which allows Football League clubs to sign players on loans of up to 93 days opened yesterday.
