Still playing international football and done well at palace last two seasons.i know he's not an ole type of player but would anyone give him a twelve month contract????my opinion only,but I think he's a far better player than turner even if he is in his twilight years.id be tempted for 1 season.

Not for me (no offence meant to the guy himself) ;)

I see he still goes on a "head down" run into the opposition half once a game, inevitably leading nowhere!

Good old Danny.Was class when he was with us.

Id take him as cover. Hes comfortable with ball at feet.

Lays some cracking balls out of defence, give him a 12 month contract and defends well :thumbup:

Defo. Maybe lost a yard of pace but still could easy play championship level if he stays fit.

Played well last night. If he has lost a yard of pace he is still quicker than our current centre backs. Calm on the ball and can play at full back too. Nothing to lose by offering him a contract. I don't think he will command high wages at his age and I guess would be happy to come back to cardiff. :bluescarf:

I'd take him on a 12 month. Experienced, calm, steady defensively and done a good job for palace last year. Oh and he's a Cardiff boy, we need some more local spirit!

Would take him back no problem. Had a good game last night. :ayatollah:

But he needs to get a Norwegian or Man Utd link to get OGS interest.

Would definitely take as long as the wages weren't really high.

I would absolutely bring him back. It was only his injury record that stopped him becoming a top premier league centre half IMO
He's still class and would add quality to our championship defensive options

Yep 1 year deal still a very good defender surprised place didn't keep him he was very good for then last season.

Why he did very well in the prem last year isn't that old and played well for Wales v Holland could easily still do a job in the championship. :?

What a stupid comment.

I've never been keen on taken him back in the past because of his injuries but he's shown last year and even on Wednesday that when he's fit he can still do a decent job against top quality players. I'd take him on a one year contract, he would be good competition for our current centre backs.

Oh Danny Dannyyyy !!

Palace Fan here

Sorry to see him go, he was very good first half of the season.

A quality defender and will be a top drawer championship defender.
