Youre on drugs aren't you?

I would have him back in a minute. Not only a good player but a gentlemen as well.

Good premier league defender don't know if he'd be cut out for the 1st division though as weird as that sounds considering he was a built like a brick sh!thouse lol, all the best to him if he comes back to Scotland as mentioned before he's a proper gent.
Muggy
It wouldn't surprise me if Gretna are one of the clubs interested in him. His wage would certainly be a stumbling block for Dundee, and to be honest I don't think we need another centre-half.

anyway he only really played well in his last handful of games (scoring in 2 of them) I say give him a trial because we've been looking at defenders just now have we not ?

He is playing (along with some other trialists) in a closed door game at Dens on Wednesday according to the Dundee Tele, I always liked him and his wholeheated approach.
Jacobite_Dundee
I'd have him back in a second. He's a good playmaking defender, able to play passes instead of simply hooving the ball up the field.

My fingers are crossed.

From todays Evening Telegraph

BRENT SET TO RETURN?Alex Rae’s bid to strengthen his squad could see popular defender Brent Sancho handed a second spell as a Dundee player (writes Tom Duthie).The Trinidad and Tobago international left Millwall last week and there has been immediate interest in him from a string of other clubs including Partick Thistle, QOS and his former employers at Dens Park.

Today, Alex would not be drawn on the chances of a Sancho return, but he will be having a look at a number of trialists in a closed-door game on Wednesday and it is understood the 30-year-old will be playing.

“I’m obviously looking to strengthen the squad and we are short of numbers at the back, so there will be a couple of defenders involved in this game. I’m not saying who they are,” he said.

Sancho first joined up with Dundee during their break in Trinidad in January 2003 when he impressed then boss Jim Duffy in training.

Work permit problems meant it took until that summer for a deal to bring him to Scotland to be tied up, but once they were negotiated, he spent two seasons in the first-team squad, playing 48 times before being released in the wake of relegation from the SPL.

Since then he has been in the lower leagues south of the border, first with Gillingham, and then on a short-term deal at the New Den, but he would seriously consider a return north if a deal could be worked out.

He was one of his country’s star’s in their 2006 World Cup finals campaign, when England’s Peter Crouch infamously pulled his hair in scoring in the nations’ group meeting, but has not played international football since because of a bonus dispute.

Dundee, meanwhile, were one of the few clubs who had no complaints about their weekend Scottish Cup date being called off due to the weather.

A spate of late cancellations on Saturday inconvenienced fans, but the trip to Huntly got the thumbs down first thing and, having seen the surface, Alex had no argument with the decision.

“We’d travelled up on Friday and I went along to the inspection. The pitch was solid and there was no way the game could go ahead, it was just one of these things.”

The squad will head north again tomorrow and one bonus could be the inclusion of Gary MacKenzie. He would have been missing on Saturday because of a groin problem and while he remains a doubt, he might make tomorrow.

“There are a lot of important games coming so I will not be taking any risks with his fitness, but he might make it this time and that would be a bonus,” added the manager. Tickets from Saturday are valid for tomorrow.

Hope so, he'll be brillaint at this level

I'm never too sure of players coming back to a us (especially in the twilight of their careers) for a second stint as it's been a disaster more often than not. But he's only 30 so a good few years left in the tank and got to be worth a trial at least

Ex-world cup player returning to Dens as back up for our first choice central defensive pairing, surely can be no bad thing??

One other thing...did he play for Millwall in the pre-season friendly at Dens?

no, he was still at Gillingham then
bazza54
would he be a first team choice? not sure i would want to change the back 4. they have been fairly solid this year (worrell the exception ). if he could play right back then maybe.

If He Signs And Plays For Us I Garantee He Gets Sent Off His First Game laugh.gif wink.gif
TheGeorgian
Rae's priority should be signing a striker and not this guy IMO. If he doesn't sign a decent striker in this window we haven't got much chance of gaining promotion this year. We've been teetering on the verge of disaster in the last few games. We need a goal threat more than anything.
wattie_rojas
I think Rae is looking to strengthen the squad over-all and although we clearly need a striker, we also need a defender too.

So we dont need another defender? Malone play centre half and Dixon left back Sw**kie left wing, against Dunfermline we created nothing really down that side, mainly thru the mid and right hand side.

I for one think Malone is untrustworthy at CB it's just not his natural position maybe its because he doesnt have the height, although I feel we have the best defence in the league when all fully fit except maybe Worrell who can be a liability at times

A team including several trialists took on Hibs in Edinburgh today and confirmed as being among those trying to earn contracts was former Dens defender Brent Sancho.

Among the others involved was at least one Nigerian, though, other than his nationality, Dundee were not giving out any details about him.


Wonder who he is? Bloody hope hes a striker! rolleyes.gif
