Get the point that form can fluctuate but at least having won POTY means you have some form to actually lose!

Btw love the Wikipage for Dann
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Dann
On 31 January 2014, Dann signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Premier League club Crystal Palace for an undisclosed fee.[27] He made his debut on 8 February in a 3–1 home win against West Bromwich Albion.[28]

He then signed for Real Madrid for £250,000,000 giving Crystal Palace the funds to make way for Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo

Also on that wiki in his personal life

Personal lifeEdit

Everton are plotting a move for Juventus centre-half Angelo Ogbonna.

The 27-year-old Italian has emerged as the Blues’ No1 defensive target this summer.

Roberto Martinez is looking to bolster his options at centre-back following the release of Sylvain Distin and Antolin Alcaraz.

The Everton boss wants to put John Stones and Phil Jagielka under pressure and is eyeing a move for the Italy international to give them serious competition for their places.

Crystal Palace captain Scott Dann is on the Blues’ radar but the ECHO understands Ogbonna remains Martinez’s first-choice.

Genk centre-half Kara Mbodj is also on the Catalan’s list but it is the Juve defender who Martinez is prioritising.

Liverpool-born Dann would command a fee of over £10m and Palace are not looking to cash in on their skipper.

Martinez is an admirer of the 28-year-old but would prefer to try and lure Ogbonna to the Premier League.

The former Torino defender made 30 appearances for the Old Lady last season and played 22 times the previous year.

Juventus paid over £11m for his services in the summer of 2013 and though he has picked up Champions League and Europa League experience with the Serie A champions, Ogbonna has often been an understudy for Leonardo Bonucci and Giorgio Chiellini.

Ogbonna also can operate at full-back and fits the bill for Martinez who ideally wants to add a left-footed defender to his squad.

Dann, a right-footed defender, is therefore second on the manager’s wish-list.

How many times can a single story repeat that Ogbonna is preferred to Dann?
 


Have to say I'd prefer Dann to Ogbonna. Not for £10m+ though. Not sure we need to be spending that much on a back up. If we have more than enough left over for a playmaker which we desperately need then fine, sign him for £10m. But this is Everton and I'm not used to having more than £10m.
