much as i like DB and would not want to lose him i would think Sts would want a better player than Danny with all due respect

at Saints Danny would be a better player

Just keep your fingers crossed that while Danny's future is undecided that he doesn't take his bat and ball home and his performances dip as has happened in the past. Wakey need to make him a decent offer now so he will keep focused on the season.

To be honest I don't think it's money, more a mutual separation if what I hear is to be believed. So if Danny wants to get what he wants even he realises he needs to shine as a pro.

TBF Brough is great and I'd love him to stay but he isn't really a one club player. I think he has a shelf life at all the clubs he joins, his personality simply doesn't lend itself to long term employment. That's how I read it.

Vasty you i know that contracts arnt worth the paper they are written.

Gutted if true. One of the few real quality signings we have made who I am confident would get in most superleague teams.

Let's be realistic about this. We have some players in our team that are top class, and some of them are potentially world class. These guys are on fixed term contracts, so it's only to be expected that 'bigger' clubs will be after them. Our only chance of keeping them is if the bigger clubs don't want to pay them substantially more than we do - whether this be due to cap constraints or whatever - and the players decide that the little bit of extra money is not worth leaving the joyful family atmosphere at BV for.

This is how we lost Peter Fox, and how we may lose others who are much better than Foxie. Good luck to them, I say (except when they're playing against us!). We're getting our monies worth out of them now, and every one of them is entitled to a say in their career. I just hope they don't get their heads turned by greedy agents.

We have got the potential to be a really good team, to do that we need to keep good players, and part of that is competing with other clubs financially. Less than 5000 against Catalans may not cut it much longer!

like danny a lot as a player, but hes not exactly a sponsors dream is he?
and as many have said, its a short career and frankly he isnt going in to merchant banking after he retires
