January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[Mazrim]

We'd have to call him Womble.

Didn't McLeish say pre-season that Dann is no better than what we already have?

No, he said that about Roger Johnson, he said Dann was top quality but we probably couldn't afford him

SSN were saying earlier about how Dann had assurances that Samba wouldn't be sold, so there maybe some sort of get out clause?

[Matt C]

Looks like Samba is off so can't see them letting Dann go until the summer now unfortunately.

I can't find mention of it anywhere, but I'm convinced that we put a sell-on clause when selling Gaz Cahill to Bolton. It was probably something piddly like 15% of any profit but can anyone confirm?

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart: " I'm having very little to do in this team but sometimes you have to make a save and I was able to do that''.

That's the second time I've seen him say that. Can't make up my mind if he's being a cheeky get or just brutally honest.

We do but it's a small percentage of the profit Bolton make on the transfer.

[PaulTheVillan]

Hardly anything. 15% of £2.5m

£375,000.

[eamonn]

It'll keep Makoun, Jenas and Beye in porridge and porn for the next six months at least.

I'm just surprised it hasn't been reported at all anywhere, has it?

[Phil from the upper holte]

No sell on clause, more fantastic business by the villa

[Ian.]

I suppose the sell on value is so small because he was not at all rated by whoever was questioned about it at the time of the sale. When you think about it we bought Zat to play in that position who MON must have thought was a better prospect.

I listened to a journalist on 5Live over the weekend (McGarry?) who claimed to be close with MON and he said that MON's response to why he sold Cahill was along the lines that Cahill could do everything...apart from defend.

Ireland has that osgood slatter disease.

Eh? Does he?

Isnt Dann injured anyway? I saw on the rumours page collins plus cash for Dann yesterday.

Dann is currently injured but is nearing full fitness I think.  I just read about his injury and really wish I hadn't.  I didn't know such a thing was possible!

I hadn't heard about it. Must be on a kneed to know basis
