Rumour - Donervon Daniels

by Sutekh » 04 Jan 2019 14:25

25 year old Blackpool defender currently on loan from Wigan. In last 6 months of contract.

In competition with Rotherham for his signature apparently.

Has some journalist put 2 and 2 together and got 20 because he was in our academy for 5 minutes back in 2009 and we got a development payment when he transferred to Wigan?

And he's not on loan from Wigan, they released him at the end of last season. The only sources appear to be HITC and Football League World which are both shit.

However, looks like a big strong lower league defender, not the sort of player we would have been looking at 3 years ago but potentially the sort of signing we need to add a bit of steel at the back. I could only see him coming in if Blackett is going though, otherwise he'd just be blocking Osho, McIntyre an Holmes.

good old fashioned centre back, good with his head and a presense for a ball playing defender to play off. would cost minimal and is only 25 so could develop. could be just what we are looking for. plays a bit like sonko aswell so just ticking all the boxes.

Hang on. Wigan want Blackett and we want Donovan. Who’s stitching who up here?

He certainly is a big unit.

However, against Arsenal last night he looked slow and seemed to get out of position too often. You do wonder about a player who was sent off with a team mate for fighting each other last year?
