If Sam Woods or Innis are ready for the step up then maybe 6m is good business? Dann cost us goals with his chronic lack of pace at the end of the season and I think if we could get some money to put elsewhere it might not be a bad thing. He has been a great servant for us, but his wage is too high for fourth choice centre-back.

Given the number of injuries Sakho and Tomkins pick up and Kelly’s lack of aerial strength it would be a poor decision to let him leave IMO unless we have a young replacement. Ward’s playing centre back against Bournemouth suggests otherwise.

Never relied on pace and made a big contribution after Sakho’s injury.

I think Ward playing centre back was influenced more by Roy’s distrust of youngsters than anything else. He loves to stick with established pros so for Woods or Inniss to break into that 4th spot will probably need to be proven over pre-season. If they are good enough then Dann can go, if they are not then he would have to be replaced, however £6m is a good figure for a player in the twilight of his career.

Someone is placing Scott Dann in the window. Now that we have Cahill, we can consider letting him go.
