    Neil Danns said on soccer am he kept ignoring Hull attemps to contact him in the summer. He said the day Nigel came here he said to Danns "I bet you want to talk to me now"

    I already knew Hull were dead keen on signing him.

    It was actually NIGEL he was not replying to and that he put on ignore, that was the point of Pearson's comment to him. <ok>

    Again, he said it was 'Pearson's' calls he was ignoring and the reason for changing things. <ok>

    Good job he did, he wouldn't make our starting XI.

    I bet hs's well chuffed he's not top six, it might give him a nose bleed.

    He won't get into ours either - Gallagher, Wellens, Drinkwater, Dyer.

    Ironically, NP really wanted Danns, but didn't rate Drinkwater at all(despite Walshy's protestations) and now Walsh has been proven right.

    You should appoint him manager, not only is he really clued up, but he's not a boring twat either. <ok>

    You say that, but when I hear Shakey being interviewed, he sounds VERY similar to Pearson. One is definitely copying the style of the other, and living in the same part of Nottm Pearson emanates from, I can tell you they all speak like Nige here.

    Regarding Danns and Drinkwater, I don't think anything as been proven yet, but at this time I would definitely go for Drinky.

    Although saying that, how fickle are football fans? In the summer you were gutted he didn't sign for you <ok>

    Not gutted, just thought he was a typical mercenary tw@t for going somewhere purely for money.

    Dodged a bullet there.

    If Pearson tried to sign Danns whilst he (Pearson) was at Hull, then signed him for Leicester, doesnt that suggest Pearson was "dead keen" on signing him. And as such, no real loss to Hull anyway.

    Not what you were all saying in the summer <laugh>


    As it happens he's a class player. Not his fault he can't get in ahead of Drinkwater and Wellens when we play 4-4-2.

    He's a very good championship player, which was why so many clubs wanted him.

    Danns is a bit of a headless chicken at times. But a good player to have
