Pity we couldn't just sell him off immediately and get some cash. I watched him in the recent reserves loss to Aberdeen and he didn't look interested. Begging the question, why deprive a youngster the team place?

How much did he cost?

good point about the youngster too!

Right the problem with you slagging of Graveson, I never saw Celtic give Tommy 5 games in a row. If the manager hasn't got any confidence in his player why would he be intrested in the team lets be hoenst.

If everton give him some runs out and shows that they have the belief in him, and he shows the same kinda charastics he had before he left us, he could get us higher.

Gravesen has been given ample opportunity here. Sometimes he has done fairly well and I think some players are worth being given a second season. But it hasn't worked out so far and I'd expect he'll move on permanently. I'd like to see him do alright down there for Davie Moyes.

Doesn't seem like yesterday I was warning the Celtic fans not to be excited about his arrival there :(

Will do as a desperately needed stop-gap, just gutted we didn't get Fernandes.

You were spot on. Unfortunately, you need to give a new signing a fair crack of the wip.

Graveson will just be a squad filler, a Carsley twin :P

An expensive squad filler. Although he ended up a reserve filler here.

Are we just paying his wages, or is there a fee for the loan as well?

Every position you finish higher in the Premiership is worth an extra £500,000, so even if Grav only earns us a couple of extra points he'll have been worth it. Believe me, using our current central midfield until January doesn't bear thinking about! We hardly see the opposition half of the pitch with Carsley and Neville.

Still hope we can get another player in before end of window. Probably a player who can play centre and on the wing. Grav isn't really a risk or a gamble, he's only on loan so if he is crap we just send him back. We need numbers for Europe, we had a tiny squad this summer, Moyes knows exactly what to expect from Grav and Grav will settle into the squad straight away.
