Neil Danns


Saint Charlie

Recommended Posts

Pat, have you got any knowledge on the whole Danns situation? I know you have some useful sources.

 

The only thing known is that we have bid twice for Niel Danns, the second bid was put in at midday Saturday.

We will not increase the bid any further IMO, it's down to the administrator to accept or reject.

He knows the time limits, he knows that we will need time to agree personal terms with Danns.

Warnocks views will not be taken into account, no more than Wottes views were, when we had the same situation here.

They don't seem to have a Leon to come to rescue with help for wages etc.

So that was made saturday BEFORE AP said he had finished.... interesting!

So what you are saying Pat is that Pardew blatantly lied to the listening public on Saturday evening? or that he doesn't really know what is going on? or that we made a bid for a player we have no intention of signing?

Can't work it out myself.

Pardew probably just said that we where finished with transfers to show Palace we wheren't desperate. Plenty of managers do similar things with the media.

I never condone lying for whatever reason, he could have just evaded the question.

 

If he tell lies about one thing there will be the possibility that he can lie in the future.

 

At the moment he is well respected and appears to be genuine so lets hope what he says is true

After the match he did NOT say in the BBC Radio Solent Saturday evening interview that Saints wouldn't buy another player this January.

yes he did, he said a categoric no when asked if there were any more signings.

I heard him, posted it on the match reaction thread. I listen to Player version, there was no bullcrap, he gave a straight answer NO.

If Warnoock thinks our offer should not be taken seriously, why was it that we were the ONLY club named by him..?????:D:D

 

I would guess that they are still hoping that Victor Moses will go Barcelona or Real :D (Sauce was our local rag 7 Days in their "really silly transfer speculation section)

 

Which in his mind would solve the money problems and allow him to keep Danns.

 

Of course if he doesn't then maybe he may have to pick up the phone again

"We are now finished for this second half of the season in terms of transfers, and this team now will have to see how far it can go in terms of getting us as close to the play-offs as possible, possibly winning the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and progressing in the FA Cup."

If we previously bid, it was rejected, and we have no intention of going back, then it is fair to say we are finished.

If it was Saturday then it was the administrator who rejected it so no reason to suspect it will be resurrected

 

I suspect it's palace putting it about to drum up interest, just like Doncaster did with Stock.

If we did indeed put in a offer at midday then we are still in for him as we (SAINTSFC) knew that JP was already signed as that deal was probably concluded either late Friday or first thing Saturday morning because he was announced at 10am.

 

So if you are correct and i sincerley hope you are then this would indicate that their maybe a chance. Please God christmas is not quite over yet.

Moses is going to Wigan for not all that much money.

i was in the car listening to solent after the game on saturday as were 3 others and we cant remember alan pardew saying we were finished in the transfer market, he seemed to avoid the question then say he was glad we didnt have to sell anybody, as we dont have to sell anybody anymore. by the way if he blatently lied to the listening public then fair play to the man, why the hell should we know what's happening

Perhaps we did have another go at getting him and had another knock back, just under 24 hours to go till the window shuts so you never know we could get another two in tomorrow.

 

But that would mean that AP is a liar - and than seems too much to take for some !

No to my mind not a liar, IMO what that statement means as it stands we are finished but if the right player becomes available at the right price and the funds are sanctioned we will deal again.

AP would just turn round and say too good an opportunity to miss came up tomorrow if we did sign someone!! For me Danns is exactly that and would be an excellent addition to our midfield which is looking threadbare at the moment.ie not enough quality.

 

We have only one chance of getting this player imo which is tomorrow as he will not join us in the summer as Palace will probably be sorted out by then.

 

We have had a very good transfer window, getting Danns would take it to a totally unbelievable level.So I for one hope this rumour does have serious legs.

just have a feeling we may have a pop tomorrow!!! It will be ML's first deadline day and he may fancy a bit of a laugh!!!!

 

Except for the one in August when we signed Papa Waigo on deadline day.

 

However, I agree we may see some activity.

Pardew said in the post match interview on solent

 

question "very close to the end of the transfer window, any chance of anymore in the closing hours?"

 

 

reply "no, and I think its also postive we won't be losing anybody"

 

and from OS

 

We are now finished for this second half of the season in terms of transfers, and this team now will have to see how far it can go in terms of getting us as close to the play-offs as possible, possibly winning the Johnstone's Paint Trophy and progressing in the FA Cup."

His goals yesterday were class & would love to see him at Saints. As for AP lying, its all about brinkmanship IMHO, If as Patred44 has said is true about a bid at lunch time, then what AP said later on is just sending a clear message to the Palace administrator "were done now"(could be construed in different ways) . If by say 4pm tomorrow the administrator has no other offers for any players & decides that he needs the money from Danns, then he will be on the line to Saints & I would expect AP & NC to would do the deal which is on the table. Here's hoping!

The statement by Pards is not a deliberate lying.

He made that statement at about the same time Puncheon signed.

HE WAS ASKED IF HE HAD FINISHED IN THE TRANSFER MARKET NOW, and said yes knowing we already had a live bid in for the Palace player.

He isn't going 'we have but there still a bid in for Danns that we're waiting for answer, is he? He'll alert a rival bid.

No, he meant he is not going for any new targets IMO

Danns is not a new target, in fact we first enquired about him when we signed Fonte.. Followed it up with a bid which Palace turned down.

Now we have increased our offer, but this time the offer has gone through the ADMINISTRATOR, and not the Palace board.

 

There is another well known saying in football NEVER SAY NEVER

Remember that before calling anyone involved in managment at a club a LIAR.:p

Exactly..

 

Think about it. A deal to sign Danns is on the table tomorrow, AP says "Sorry Mr Administrator my hands are tied, I've made a statement saying no more signings and I'm bound by that!" Now that's got to be crazy. Would NC let that happen with such an opportunity?

 

If we don't sign anyone else the fact is that AP has the players he planned on getting at the outset once he had signed Punch.

 

If we get him I'll be over the moon..

Spot on. It was a live interview and not a written statement. He may have intended to say 'no,not as far as I am aware' or some other evasive answer but decided to add the point about no unwanted departures before finishing his sentence ,who knows? I for one won't be calling him a liar if we get Danns.

I heard that when Puncheon signed he went to the training ground lounge to meet all the other players, when he managed to squeeze himself in the room Pardew said to Cortese, 'we're gonna need a bigger lounge.' Players have had to queue as there are not enough toilets and rumours are the squad is so big the coaches have forgotten who is who.
