Tired of it at this stage. All the arguements over whether he still has it, has he lost pace, can he still influence games etc... they're kinda moot, cause EVEN when fit, Jürgen was not picking him. And there is zero reason to expect that to change.
In fairness to Danny, he's never really come out and had a serious moan. Maybe because he really wouldn't have a leg-to-stand-on if he did (literally a lot of the time, and metaphorically) given he's been unavailable so much in recent seasons.
Looking back, why not sell him last summer? Or even in the Jan window (for a 'premium')? And bring someone else in - if they played a few of games, we'd be getting more from the new signing than we have from Danny (OK, he set up the goal at Woodison).
Writing has been on the wall for him for a long while - he could conceivably not play for us again, depending on whether we have stuff to play for, tho probably get a sub app and a clap at some stage.
Unfortunately we should really have been/be thinking more about how we maximise his selling price.
