[patred44]

[St.Patrik]

[Glasgow_Saint]

Could you pay a little more a arrange for his name to be spelt correctly?

[St Chalet]

Fixed.

[Colinjb]

Scott dann .. hmmm.

Not sure how I feel about this one.

[Glasgow_Saint]

Fixed.

Bearsy has power

[patred44]

pedantic..so and so..as if you didn't know

[Golden Balls]

Surely we can do better?

[CWD]

Any source to this other than Nixon?

[Raging Bull]

Last time I watched him at the back end of last season he was being skinned every single time & on 1 occasion he purposefully had a massive hack at his opo just outside the area.

Relegation seems to follow him and his partnership at Brum was supposed to be a good 1 too!

[austsaint]

Some Blackburn and Brum fans on various forums do not seem to rate this lad. Can anyone who's seen him play on a regular basis make a case for him? Curtis Davies appeals strongly for equivalent money.

[MrMojoRisin]

NO NO NO We do not want him, Fonte and Jos are better than him plus he has been relegated in the last two seasons. Start making some quality signings or we are going to struggle all season.

clueless

[Professor]

Dann would probably be happy to come here now the team is playing in Liverpool shirts but the risk iks that he's found his level at Championship, not Prem. Surely SFC can do better and if Wet Spam want to spend a big slice of their transfer budget on him, that should suit the rest of us.

[Redondo Saint]

Ron Vlaar not headed to Villa......
Similar fee but maybe more wages.

[jawillwill]

Don't know how reliable this is, but just seen this on Twitter:


Deppo‏@DeppoInExile
My contacts within #saintsfc are telling me that Scott Dann is due at St Marys for talks about a possible move. You heard it here first.

Having looked through a few of his/her previous tweets, they've been spot on about the last few signings. Could just be another wannabe ITKer though.

[rshephard3]

Yeah Fonte looked really solid at the top end of the championship and wasn't getting outmuscled and outpaced on a regular basis 😉

[Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod]

Ron Vlaar not headed to Villa......

We should make a move for him, looks a better player.

He is more ITK than we can even dream of.

As much as I hate Feyenoord this is a very good option (maybe this a good plan, buy Feyenoords player for a low fee). His wage demands will never be as high as a player that has Premier League experience. Wages in the Netherlands are a lot lower then even most Championship teams (if you exclude Ajax & PSV) and Feyenoord doesn't pay that much either because of their economic difficulties the last 5/6 years.

He's not expensive to buy according to the technical director at Feyenoord (not sure why, perhaps a clause in the contract). I'm not sure if he would be interested in joining Saints though. Its always considered a risk for players to join teams that have just been promoted, especially if they want to remain in contention for the Dutch national team.

Yes please.

[Giordano]

Hmmm....ex team mate of Danny Fox at Coventry, hmmmmm......ex England under 21 International, hmmmmm 25 years old,.....hmmmm 6ft 2"..........a young english premier league experienced centre back....hmmm....not yet really won anything so has a point to prove, ex captain of his club,...I have the clues and I'm sure there is a pattern emerging here but i dont know what it means... :-)

Didn't he win the Carling cup with Brum ?

[Giordano]

You are correct. I knew i was looking at this all wrong..:-). But he is not a serial team "winner" looking at his history to be fair so far despite observers praising him as an individual player.

[Saint Garrett]

I think it's more of a 'he was rated highly a few years ago, but since he has been relegated twice so will want to prove that he is good enough for the prem'. Despite it being a negative that he has been relegated, you can see Adkins using this as motivation for the coming season.

[Glasgow_Saint]

Great players can get relegated! Just look at N****wo Christian Nwosu Kanu

+ O'Hara has been relegated twice and he's a good player

[Foxstone]

Didn't he win the Carling cup with Brum ?

Injured and missed the final I think...

[Thedelldays]

peter crouch got relegated...so did arry redknapp

[Matthew Le God]

To use the "he got relegated" line is a nonsense. Lallana, Schneiderlin and Davis were relegated to League One, should we get rid of them? Scott Parker was relegated with West Ham yet was voted the best player in the Premier League that season by football journalists. A player should be judged on his own merits, not solely on the performance of his team.

[adriansfc]

I don't care that he's been relegated. I care that he's spent the last year or two getting skinned every 5 minutes. Fonte might too, but I thought we'd be going for someone a bit better to be honest. Hope I'm wrong, or hope his recent form is just that, bad form and he'll return to earlier career ability.

Exactly, 1 player does not relegate a team, it's a collective failure which often boils down to the manager. As it did with Blackburn who had more than enough quality to stay up if managed in the right way.

[MOSaint]

Ok so if Scott Dann is not good enough then who should we be looking at?

[S-Clarke]

Bit harsh, I don't think he was that bad if I'm honest. He got caught by being 2 high up quite a few times, but that was more down to their tactics than anything.

As a CB i see him more of a sweeper who is there to play alongside a more dominant CB who wins all the headers, Dann seems to be more of a ''reader'' and a positional centre half.

He was rated highly at Birmingham, and even though they say he is quite slow, they all rated him much higher than Johnson.

[Robsk II]

There's only one tes-ticle, one tes-ticle

[Turkish]

Apparantly a lot of people would rather have Curtis Davies, depsite the fact that he played in the championship for the last two seasons, is older and wasn't deemed good enough by Aston Villa. go figure.

Probably the same football know-it-alls that also rate Guly!

Dell-size mentality - some of our fans will never recover

Wasn't he also kept out of the Brum team by Dann and Johnson? Or was he there at a different time?

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

Would prefer to have Desperate Dan. Seen the guys a lot as friends with a big Blackburn fan and the guy is horrendous. Would be really, really worried if we bought him.

2 words - Jos Hoovield.

Celtic fans said exactly the same. Some clubs just don't fit a player for whatever reason.

[supersonic]

NO NO NO We do not want him, Fonte and Jos are better than him plus he has been relegated in the last two seasons. Start making some quality signings or we are going to struggle all season.

Steven Fletcher, Paul Robinson, Junior Hoilett, Yakubu, Martin Olssen, Matt Jarvis all got relegated, are they bad players? No.

Just because someone has been relegated doesn't make them bad, it makes the team they played in bad. Dann was decent when he played alongside Samba, then Blackburn fell apart

Scott Parker was a full England international and named Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year in the season he got relegation. Christ, lucky we didn't sign him.

[EBS1980]

RE: Ron Vlaar, didn't we have him on trail a few years ago but didn't sign him up?

[Saint Garrett]

Don't think so? Surely we wouldnt have had him while outside teh prem ?

Not really, cos I've based my opinion on me seeing him, not what other fans think.

[Webby]

Glad to hear a CB is in talks but I do wonder if we could aim higher. I don't know who cos we don't look like prising a CB from another PL team; we haven't signed anyone else from a PL team, so we're clearly looking for promising, young players from other leagues and I don't know the European leagues enough to pick out players, although I thought kjaer (?) looked good in the euros.

[Saint Garrett]

Kjaer is absolutely class, no chance.


Although....after a little google search, apparently they'd sell him for 6m euros...would be a bargain, but would haev thought he'd want to play in Europe.
