January Transfer Speculation (or lack of) Thread

[ozzjim]

Dann would be a good signing. Young, good organization and has played well for McCliesh before. If Cuellar is off, and Clark increasingly looks more like a holding midfield player or real quality, we need a centre half. With Collins being linked away too, it makes sense. Just need a left back and a right back then.

It's odd that Blackburn have been so shit defensively (their goals against column makes horrendous reading) yet their two main centre halves are so highly regarded.

Good point, it shows that defence is not just about the 2 centre backs, thuer fullbacks are not world beaters and in front of them there is not much support, a bit like the villa

Surprised we didn't go for Dann when he was with Them and they went down. (still love saying that!)
Talking to a Wolves fan today who, after a whinge about Albrighton fouling poor old Karl and Petrov kicking a little boy's head off, said the Villa centre pair were magnificent!
And he wasn't taking the piss!
Can only assume Collins is on his way.

The second half when they atarted pumping balls into the box Collins and Dunne looked great, remember thier second goal, they took each other out.

His words, not mine!
Found it hard to argue with what sounded like a rare compliment about Villa from a Dogs fan!

Can't see then letting Dann go if Samba is on his way too.

Can't see then letting Dann go if Samba is on his way too.

If rumours are true then there's a specific clause in his contract allowing him to leave if Blackburn's better players are sold.

Sounds like the sort of mental deal we'd agree to.

I heard from a Blackburn boxholder last Thursday that Dann is coming our way with Dunne moving to Bburn. We pay £2m.

[Dave]

Why would Dunne agree to that?

what?!

[pauliewalnuts]

Why would Dunne agree to that?

Does he still live in the north west?

Dann's problem is that he never seems to be able to stay fit for longer than 3 games at a time. That would be a crazy move for all parties.

Played 35 games for Small Heath in 2009/10, picked up a bad injury half way through 2010/11, and then had that testicle misfortune at Blackburn (which isn't something you can really ascribe to being injury prone, it's so out of the ordinary)

[pauliewalnuts]

I hope we sign Dann, it'l be worth it to see a certain poster do a double pirouette over it - from he's ace (the main reason Blues went down being his injury), to he's shit (hence only going to Blackburn), back to he's ace again (he's signed for us).

[villadelph]

I certainly rate Dann higher than Collins.

Collins, Cuellar gone and Fonz on loan.. Three out, someones gotta come in.

[Toronto Villa]

Don't know if other Dann thing is true, but McLeish has never spoken about not have transfer funds.it's always been about wages. We've let Fonz and Delph go, and it wouldn't shock me if we sold Cuellar now also. Dann is an upgrade on Cuellar and Collins so it would be a good deal for the club.

[eamonn]

Would Dann pass a medical? His testicles were in ribbons last time I heard.
