Sure I’ve read before that under Ralph Hasenhüttl at Southampton there was a spell Dan was playing Premier league games. So he’s not the only manger who sees there is a player there. Be interesting to see how it turns out. He seems a genuinely good lad so I hope it does work out.
Think a remember he looked a decent player but like others I think I’ve either blocked that period from my memory (on pitch especially) or I’m just getting old without realising. Looking at those stats maybe his body isn’t up to professional football or just extremely unlucky with injuries.
