Derk94 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I know this topic has appeared on the forum before but after reading the short interview on the OS I wanted to know what people's opinions were on trying to buy Danns in January, as he seems like he is happy here. Personally I would try and pull out all the stops to keep him. He is a class player and has been consistently good at championship level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otib118 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 isn't he out of contract at the end of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Loan until end of season, yes if we can work out a deal. But no to making him a permanent signing. As you already stated, wages and age make it not seem like good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cider-manc Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Think a bid in January may be to soon. Need to make sure we are still in this division first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 He has to stay, but if thats a loan or perm deal im not sure. I guess a lot may now come down to financials going into next season. Could be a safer move to loan til the end of the season just in case we do go down, id imagine its unlikely he would want to ply his trade at L1 when he is a capable Champ player. Could be a good sign if he does sign perm, maybe that would show he has confidence in the team to stay up? Then there is the chance that he shines for us, plays a good part in us staying up and come the summer gets snapped up by someone else on a perm deal....not an easy call to make. Ive voted for loan til the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derk94 Posted December 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Thinking about it, I remember seeing a couple of days ago Jon Lansdown saying McInnes had their full backing in January. I wouldnt be surprised if we make a bid, especially seeing as McInnes wants to win the fans back and if he knows Danns is a fan favourite then who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'd try and get him on loan until the end of the season. However if we do find ourselves in a position either in January or the summer where we are offering him a contract I am afraid we are not in a position that we can 'pull out all the stops'. Sell the club to him, assure him regular football, make him aware of what a beautiful part of the world he would moving to of course, but when it comes to wages we have to decide what we think he is worth and offer him that and no more. If he decides he can do elsewhere then good luck to him and onto the next target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the frampton balti Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I still can not believe that neil Danns plays for the mighty robins. What a fantastic signing that would be. when does his contract run dry at leicester??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 I would loan him untill the end of season, to see where we are. But I suppose if he signed now and we go down he would of considered this himself before he signed. Plus then if he did go we would at the very least get our money back on him. So it would be a win win situation for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 To be honest it was a pity GJ didn't try to sign him instead of Trundle, but hey ho better late than never, i'm also intrigued to see what will happen when Skuse returns, will DMC use Skuse and Elliott as he did prior to the Skuse injury? or will he try to keep Danns and pair him up with Skuse? IMO Skuse has never had the correct partner to bring the best out of him, perhaps Danns is that partner, of course that assumes that Skuse is staying with us.

I think we had a pretty decent midfield back then, Noble was good, Elliot was flying, LJ was a much better player than given credit for. Also, Trundle might not have been the biggest success at City, but he took us to Wembley. He was great that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Danns is a midfielder and Trundle was a striker. No shit? and because a) GJ thought he could change a proven goal scorer into 'a team player' he was ****** right up and millions wasted on fees and wages and b) we had a greater need of a proven midfielder than a striker but that might of meant his son losing out.

stevecity86 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think Danns can do a job for us for a couple of seasons. He may not be the youngest, but what he offers/contributes to the team has had a noticeable effect on our performances for the better. I dont think the age factor is as big an issue for a central midfielder; Danny Murphy for instance produced some his best football in his 30s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
