Donald Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 According to Adam Baker twitter, Interviewed gaffer this morning. On Player soon: Keith on Palace away, Haynes, Maynard, Rose, Macca & Danns/Savage rumours. #BristolCity Question is, what was said about Maynard, Rose & Neil Danns? Thankfully it's already been confirmed that the Savage rumour was made up rubbish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claverham_Red Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Maynard has "stepped up his training". Rose had a scan last night, but think it was just precautionary. Jamie McAllister also had a scan today. Seems like Neil Danns is not in Millen's radar. Glad the Savage rumour's were well and truly squashed!

Robbored Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 'Question is, what was said about Maynard, Rose, Neil Danns" Maynard is has just started training again although not fully. Rose had a scan at Spurs yesterday evening and City are awaiting the results. Millen didn't deny outright that Danns might be on his shopping list but did say that he doubted Palace would let him go given their position, even though Danns is out of contract in the summer. He also said that other clubs would be interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Rizzle Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 not very positive regarding transfers. Definitely seems that Jan is more of a 'move some out' transfer window as opposed to getting them in. Laughed off savage and ruled out danns due being palaces best player and them scrapping for their lives. Perhaps we could be in for him in the summer, I reckon he's quality. Explained haynes in that he hasn't being playing much fiorst team and has not had best form. Barnsley put in a 'good' offer and they decided to accept it.

westred1 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 To add to Millen interview (which i havent actually seen!), we've now shipped out Haynes leaving us with 6 strikers (3 being fot, one being too young (jackson), one injured (maynard) and one out on loan (akinde)) I think we need shift another striker and perhaps a midfielder or two before any business can be considered! It'll cause havoc bringing in players before selling anyone; if we were to recruit 2 or 3 players whilst only selling haynes we'd have 38 players in the squad! Okay, not all of them are not going to be involved and are not needed by the club but if we couldnt get rid of them after these signings then we'd be in even more debt due to paying wages and fees! It's only logical to get rid before buying ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rednready Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Thank God the Savage rumours weren't true. Wish the Danns ones were though, quality player. Lets look at Neil Danns. 2007/2009, Danns was totally overshadowed by Ben Watson, Carle and Ifil who all produced more midfield assists. However, when Watson, Carle and Ifil left and Danns moved up the pecking order, Danns improved. 2009/10, Danns had 9 goals and 3 assists. 2010/2011, Danns has 6 goals and 3 assists in the current season. We have nobody of that standard. LJ has no assists and 1 goal as our creator. Please notice the high number of goals for a central midfielder. If you watched the Swans/Palace game last week, you will have noticed that Danns was always lurking in the opposition final third. Danns was not defensive or delivering defence splitting passes, he played like an extra forward. Ben Watson scored 10 in his last season at Palace and played a very forward attacking role, a role that gained him a move to the Premier League. Watson however could play box to box, tackled hard and went in hard with his head. Danns can get forward and score, however Elliot will still have to be a strong defensive midfielder, as he is when LJ does his non creative little scoring role. Danns may well score more goals, and create a couple more, mainly as a final pass in the final third. He will not supply defence splitting passes from the midfield because he plays further up the pitch. It will be up to KM to plan around the strengths that Danns has and make sure the formation works to advantage. KM is unable to work around midfield attacking strengths at the moment as we dont have any. To me, coming here would be at best a sideways move for Danns, all I can see is us offerring him a better pay packet, why else would he come here.
