    So just because they have had played over 250 games that makes them good?.

    Well it cant exactly make them bad...Davies and Dann are great palyers, unfortunatley for them they play for teams that are playing poorly and need a break.

    yep, of course have to be questioned by multiple people over my opinion though, as per. You cant argue with any of their career stats.

    Be my guest. you haven't made any logical suggestion as to why they are good players yet.

    misguided outspoken moron, you are doing yourself no favours, why would we sign players worse than what we already have? i think we should sign franz beckenbauer, he would probably be quite cheap and he was once the world player of the year, and has bags of experience!

    They aren't good players, that's the point

    Again you haven't given a suggestion as to why they are bad, Davies kept the highest number of clean sheets with Birmingham last season as far as im aware. Dann is a league cup winner and has accumulated transfer fees of nearly £9,000,000. Matt Upson doesn't have to prove himself to anyone, in the squad for the 2010 world cup and over 400 premier league appearances.

    Hooper will be going nowhere in January*...

    Relegation battle v last 16 of Champions League!

    Maybe next season, if Soton are still in Premier League (and Saints are willing to part with £6 to £8m)

    *Might go to a top 6 team, if Celtic have a replacment in mind.

    Upson has played about 10 games in the last 2 years and has a reputation for being dodgy. Dann is vastly overrated and has been truly appalling the last year and a half. Davies is just meh, playing poorly in a struggling birmingham team.

    Upson is to old, I admit he was good back in the day but he is now past it.

    Dann is crap have a look at what Blackburn fans think of him, Bebe cost Man Utd 8 mil yet he is **** so it doesn't matter about how much is paid for him.

    Davies I have never rated he makes the easy stuff look hard. He makes stupid lil mistakes that always seems to lead to a goal.

    To be honest we don't need Hooper anymore. We play 1 up front and he won't displace Lambert.

    Tbh the Hooper rumour is lazy, we hardly play 4-4-2 now usually 4-4-1-1 or 4-2-3-1 , so I doubt we will be in for him.

    Granted Upson hasn't managed to play much recently, mostly down to injury and the outstanding form of Huth and Shawcross, Dann is far from over rated clubs were going mad for him after Brum were relegated hence why him and Johnson cost a combination of £14 million. Blackburn fans don't like him because they hate everything that is associated with Steve Kean.
    And describing Davies as "meh" hardly proves that you have any idea what your talking about.

    Fair point... he will be in the Premiership next year tho as Champions League qualification will be harder next year for Celtic.

    He'd score approx 10 to 15 goals a season for a mid table side (in my opinion). Not seen Lambert, so can't comment if he's any good.
