QPR lead chase for Dann after Liverpool and Arsenal pull back from Blues defender

[QPRdan3]

I can't see him being too costly. Rodger Johnson is arguably better and only left for 5mill.. 3mill maybe for Dann?

5M for him and Ridgewell

[stainrodisalegend]

dont want to put a dampner on this but i bet we are beign offered all sorts of players - we are about the only club outside the top six with big money to spend. But we can't have everybody and there is no suggestion in the article that we actually want him. Wd obviously be a fantastic signing tho.

[qpr]

Scott Dann would be class and he's a top 4 defender imo so it would be our best signing IMO.

As for the price it may not be that bad. Arsenal ( For reasons I cannot explain ) & Liverpool are no longer going after him and I know he's one of Birminghams highest paid players and want him gone so 5million or maybe even less.

Please be true!

Their finances are in a terrible state but then still they managed to squeeze £7m out of Wolves for Roger Johnson so I don't know about that.

Wolves wanted to tie up Johnson before others had the chance, hence they paid a lot early in the wondow to sure up the deal... I was surprised he went there tbh.

This is totally different as Brum want to offload him and time is against them before the window shuts, hence if interest has wavered, they may have to take a lower fee than they'd like to offload the wages.

I would wonder why Arsenal and Liverpool have turned their back though after apparently been looking... has he performed badly this season since his injury, if so, he may not be the player of last season and might be a waste of money...?

[blueboy]

Might be made up but it's still a plausible story I reckon. Liverpool won't bother now and I doubt Arsenal will fancy him. Who else is in the race? No mention of any Spurs interest, Villa are broke... etc

this would be a great signing...bring Ridgwell with him too......i really dont understand Wenger,after yesterdays debacle you'd think he'd be desperate for a decent defender with Prem experience,who doesnt cost the earth and would fir into their strict wage structure...oh well,their loss

[W12hoops]

That would be a great signing but he would cost £5m+.

If my calculations are correct, NW should have £5-6m left to spend since Parker didn't happen.

I think he needs better tbh.

With regards to Dann, have heard good things, but to be honest never bothered watching Brum games last season as they were so boring. Playing devil's advocate a bit, if Dann, Johnson, Ridgewell and Carr were all so brilliant, as everyone says they are... why did they get relegated?

lack of goals cost them..that defence was the bedrock on which their success was built.

[WeAreQPR12]

Very true blue. I remember watching them beat arsenal in the carling cup final and they were under siege for ages. Danns and Johnson were superb, although I do always remember Johnson more. He was an outstanding centre back and actually worth 7 million.

Fair play, like i said i chose not to watch them as thought they were the most negative team in the prem for the last few years.

TF has said "there is no set budget".

they weren't the most exciting team its true...negative= defensive=playing to their strenghts=a strong defence

Dann, 24, has attracted the interest of a host of clubs with Birmingham resigned to losing him following their relegation to the Championship last season.
