Neil Danns

[David Gwilliam]

I think he is definitely a decent addition to the squad. We needed another central midfielder to compete with the holy trinityof King Abe and Wellens.

It may be a holy quartet rather than a holy trinity. At the Q&A earlier this year Sven was asked why he played 4-3-3 here when throughout his career he has played 4-4-2. His answer was that the Leicester midfield was not physically strong enough for 4-4-2. I guessed then that he would be looking for a hard man this summer.

I went on one of the Crystal Palace fans forums. (Yes I know I have too much time on my hands but most people I know apply that to being a football supporter). The Palace fans clearly regard him very highly as a fullblooded 100% player. They had taken it for granted that he was going to join Rangers and there is some controversy about whether him joining another Championship club is really a step up.
This augurs well since you can tell a great deal about someone's character by how he leaves a job.

The Palace website included a post which said they would miss "his Ninja tackling". I leave it to others to consider whether referees will approve of Ninja tackling.

short interview on skysports.com says he joined us over Rangers/ Celtic due to the potential for Premier League football.

Just seen that. He seems convinced it will happen, so Sven and Top have obviously done a very good sell.

There were rumours that Sousa was after him last summer, which he denied, if I recall.

Look at it another way...Oakley's further away from first XI.

 

[BolWorn]

what a soothing voice he has!

Good signing IMO, box to box midfielder with an excellent engine and eyes for a killer pass. Bossed the midfield when they came to the walkers - just the type of player we need I reckon. Fee wasn't too bad either!! Palace fans I know, who go a lot, are gutted.

It's a very matter of fact interview from what appears to be a level headed fella I reckon. Link below for those that haven't seen it:

Or, it could be...

{ring ring..} Hello, Glasgow Rangers FC, main man talking...
- Oh, hello, Peter Twat here, agent of Dannzy, listen mate, Leicester are offering £15k a week, can you match that?
{click...dialling tone.}

{ring ring..} Hello, Celtic FC, main man talking...
- Oh, hello, Peter Twat here, agent of Dannzy, listen mate, Leicester are offering £15k a week, can you match that?
{click...dialling tone.}

But, I am still happy with the signing, so there.

They're hardly likely to see it.

Are throwing stars invisible now?

Are throwing stars invisible now?

Yes, but highly ineffective when bandaged up just before kick off.

As part of my general ignorance I did not realise Ninjas threw stars. I knew I would regret QPR going up. Imagine a QPR player being hit by a star and not getting a penalty because the referee had been unable to see it. Think of the Neil Warnock interview.

Are there any other Ninja techniques we can look forward to from Neil Dann?

An example of a Ninja throwing star.

Danns. Don't get that one wrong again please, it's likely to send me batshit mental.
