Scott Dann

[den]

I really don't understand the "he wasn't as bad as people are making out" comments.

He was. He was absolutely terrible and then some. Can't jump, can't tackle, can't read the game.

and can't kick a ball. [seriously].

Surely this is a load of rubbish? Why would AJAX (?!) be interested in Scott Dann when they have a world famous academy and fairly obvious business plan from this?

Apparently Ajax has pretty much signed Barcelona's Marc Muniesa on loan to replace Vertonghen. So I think it's safe to assume it's just Dann's agent spreading lies to generate interest.

[K-Hod]

I laughed hard when I saw that Ajax were interested in him. some journo must be VERY bored.

this.

He was absolutely woeful last season and that's being nice, he was the worst player in the worst defence in the league and definitely the worst centre back I've seen in a Rovers shirt.

If Ajax are seriously interested in him (doubtful) I'll push him across the North Sea on a lilo myself to get him there.

Don't let the door smack you on the arse on the way out Scott

Don't let the door smack you on the arse on the way out Scott

1. His positioning is so bad he'd be lucky to find the door way.

2. If he did find and open the door, he's so slow it would definitely smack him on the arse on his way out.

[owenrilla]

Dann to Southampton?

A Nixon story BTW

[chaddyrovers]

Good news for us to sell. Was awful last season for us.

If we could get 4 mil I would sell and get 2 centre backs in for that money.

[bluebruce]

If we could get 4 mill, Chaddy?!? The article says 3.5 million, and that is MORE than enough. Don't tell me you would try to hold out for another half mill. SELL SELL SELL!

[G Somerset Rover]

Money to be made here people - going to stick fifty quid on the Saints to go down should Dann join. He's the new Neil Redfearn (I've been watching too much PL years recently).

[Hughesy]

Only sell if we get a solid replacement

[gumboots]

You obviously haven't noticed Venkys "sell then don't bother replacing" policy! In the days of Mark Hughes we would have explained to the player that until we had a replacement lined up, we could not sell and the player would then have generally carried on playing until such time knowing that the situation was understood by all concerned and would be solved asap. Nowadays, the manager can't persuade even those who don't want away to give 100% let alone those who do.

A cardboard cut-out would be more solid than Dann.

He is truely awful. Up there with Christian Dailly.

I'd rather put a training cone on the pitch. At least it'd stay in position.

And would be more mobile...

Only sell if- SELL SELL SELL SELL!!!!

In this instance, I don't care. If we had a few million coming our way I'd far rather sell and rely on a youth team player than see Dann amble around for us again.

[gumboots]

I don't care either and thought O'Connor looked ok the other day, but I was replying to Hughesy trying to suggest we should hold on till we got a replacement

[Jamesw1982]

givet and hanley would be a decent enough starting centre partnership if we could sign sum1 to just cover dann should be sold instantly !

Seb Hines from boro might be on afterall now boro have signed friend from donny and also woodgate back.

Sure, I wasn't having a go. I should clarify before anyone says, I DO think we need to buy a 'replacement'- but I think we need a centre half even if he doesn't go. However, what I'm saying is I would still sell him even if no direct replacement was coming in, because he is nothing but a liability from what we've seen, and I'd rather play and develop a youthie.

+1. Racing certainty.

[earplug]

I'd drive him to Southampton myself. And I hate driving.

Great news for me if he goes. A horrific player.

[Clitherover]

I've just ###### myself laughing at what I just read on Scott Dann on a Saint's forum.

He basically sounds like a very cultured, technical centre back. We all know how much NA likes the CB's to be able to play out from the back...so that would explain why we want him as much as we do.

:lol:

Have you posted them a link to this thread? I think you should so we can see their reactions!
