Set to sign on a free transfer.

All for it if it means getting rid of Liam Moore.

Feel we need to do something at the back

Had thought the same but can’t imagine Morrison and Dann would be quick enough to play together at this level. Think Holmes is more likely to be the candidate next to Dann if we drop Moore. Either way Dann is exactly who we need right now. Someone who’s head is still screwed on.

Theory is he’ll sort out the shambles of organisation at the back.

He is of course knocking on a bit but seems just the kind of character and aerial ability that we are crying out for

I'd be bloody delighted with this. Old fashioned no nonsense defender, get a decent year out of him and move him to the coaching side.

Will help the likes of Abbey and Strickland too.

Quality player back in the day but hasn’t played 20 games in a season for five years, and we’re not exactly short at centre back.

Well my estimation of pauno has just gone up. I’m sure a new cb was not on the cards even a week ago. He’s obviously fed up with the shambles at the back and is going to do something about it rather than going with the status quo approach.

And how exactly to you propose to get rid of our highest earner please? I`m sure there will clubs at this level chomping at the bit to take him for £35k a week.

It's covered in the above link

For those that don't live and breathe other club's players Scott Dann is a 34 year old centre back most recently of Crystal Palace where he's spent the last 7 seasons (all in the PL) racking up 164 appearances and 16 goals in all competitions. Before that he made a total of 254 appearances in all competitons for Walsall, Coventry and Blackburn. He has won Palace's player of the year awards and captained the team in 2016/17.

Always been a big fan and had just thought he retired tbh. Hopefully, he can organise our shambles of a defence. If we can get Drinkwater and a new striker that would be more than I thought we’d manage this window.

The international break could be a massive help IF Pauno can install some confidence and turn us back into a TEAM again. That 4 0 had been coming since last season and hopefully it’s given the whole club an almighty kick up the backside.

We're not but the current incumbents are hardly covering themselves in glory. He played the full 90 mins at PL level 15 times last season and was the CB option off the bench another 15 times.

I doubt he'll play week in week out but would bring additional experience, leadership and really help the younger players too. Given the restrictions we have, signing a player like Dann (if it happens) is excellent business.

Yes please, and then drop zonal marking, the players are not good enough to make it work.

We may not be short of centre backs but how many of them have proven themselves to be competent? 13 goals in 5 games and zero clean sheets is shambolic. Dann will come in, give a good kick up the arse for the players that are slacking defensively and solidify our defence. Our youngsters rather than learning from the so called “senior” players ironically defending like school boys themselves will instead have an ex-Premier League defender to learn from.

Oh and Dann is actually good himself, not the quickest but neither is Morrison. It’s a no brainier imo.

We had one of the youngest squads in the champ last season. Pauno talked about black belts and yellow belt players and said we didn’t have enough black belt players. Hoilet drinkwater and dann add much more experience to the team. All players that have played the majority of their careers in the premier league. Clever signings. Also as a side note what’s interesting with the signings apart from hoilet all the players we’ve signed are local players. Tdb drinkwater dann Rahman probably won’t need to move house and will just commute so settling in should be quick, hopefully hitting the ground running.

Didn’t realise he played almost half the games for CP in the prem last year which is encouraging

Hope he is fit enough to come straight in for QPR

Agreed but I would be very surprised if anyone was interested in taking Moore off our hands unless it’s a Championship club and we have agreed to continue to pay half Moore’s wages.
I hope this doesn’t mean we are selling Holmes.

A good pro who will sort the mess out and the back. I doubt he would be signing unless he was fit. I also don’t think this would have been on the cards if Moore and Morrison had been playing ok. One or both will be dropped.

So Pauno in now? You change like the wind.

Morrison and dann doesn’t give us much pace at the back if indeed Moore is the one to be dropped. But I guess that’s where the zonal marking comes in. Man marking would be a worry with players getting in behind us.
