Very fair point tb, i just think Danny might give a toss about the club if he returns and won't be on the lottery winners money.
They might be the same age but Danny looks in better shape.

don't have the knowledge to comment on anyone's wage - but fair points in return. I'd just point out that they're both 33 next, an age at which you're always gambling with injuries/ fitness. I'd be reasonably happy if we do sign Danny - so long as we don't regard him as some sort of returning prodigal, put too much on his shoulders and them turn on him when it turns out he doesn't walk on water.

Imo a bit like what's happened with Hudson.

I would imagine if we do get Danny back we will throw money at him expecting him to be the saviour

if cas as the money a would like 2 see cas sign danny orr on a 1 year deal and also sign matty smith as well.

IF Next Year would look like this Halfs & Hooker
Rangi Chase - SO, HB, H
Danny Orr - H, HB
Matty Smith - HB, H
Ryan Brierley - SO
Ryan Hudson - H, LF
Adam Milner - H

I agree Danny on a 1 year deal and sensible money and as a general squad player doing a good job off the bench. And maybe with a view to coaching the youngsters in the future.

Got to laugh out loud at this, signing Danny Orr.

Was it 2 or 3 years ago when Matterson said he wasn't the sort of player we wanted??

So why the sudden change?

Cos we are desperate, very desperate.

Re: New Signing : Wed May 26, 2010 7:06 pm  

Because 2 or 3 years ago Danny was playing a different role to one expected now. The last couple of years he's played really well and would complement Chase well. It would take a lot of pressure off him and let him cut lose more like he did last year.

Crap, he would have done a job for us then!!!!!!

Re: New Signing : Wed May 26, 2010 9:56 pm  

Daniel Holdsworth?
Ben Hornby?
I'd be happy with either of these two.
