i honestly don't think Martinez wants another young defender. we already have stones and galloway and Browning are rated very highly. He's looking for an experienced back to bridge the gap between Jag's final seasons and when Galloway is ready.

Well, younger than 28 doesn't mean a teenager mate. 25-years old defender could be experienced as well but also could give a chance for progression. Dann won't be better than already is and he is average. And if we're not willing to cash in on stones he would be a back up guy.

However if he's on low wages then it is understandable move but we don't know the details

That deal paid off in some way but would you pay 15mln pounds for every relegated midfielder because mccarthy turned out to be cracking player ?

Also he was bought to be a starter not as a back up

I honestly don't get the argument "as a backup"

Firstly, Jags is getting older and picks up injuries

Secondly, from admittedly the little I've seen of him, Dann looks decent enough to push for a place regardless and I like the idea of our first backup being good enough to come in if someone's form drops.

Thirdly, 6 to 8 million for a proven Premiership centre half isn't expensive these days, and we need someone who is ready to play on a regular basis

I've no idea if Dann will actually end up here, but, if he does, for something like 8 million, I'd be pretty happy with that.

true but with younger players they're more likely to need game time. Just seems all the defenders we've linked with are 27-30 (ogbonna-27, dann 28, klavan 29, lombaerts 30), seems to be the age group RM is targeting.
