# Crystal Palace: Fans react to Scott Dann departure

**Crystal Palace [announced](https://twitter.com/CPFC/status/1425744113509437440) the departure of defender Scott Dann on Thursday morning.**

And, as to be expected, a number of Palace fans were quick to share their thoughts on the exit news on social media.

Dann, who made the move to Selhurst Park back in [2014](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/scott-dann-departs-palace-after-seven-years/2021-08-12/), was one of [11](https://twitter.com/GeorgeSessions/status/1410478334220378114) senior Palace players who were out of contract at the beginning of July.

The likes of [Joel Ward](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/joel-ward-extends-palace-contract/2021-07-15/) and [Nathaniel Clyne](https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/announcement/nathaniel-clyne-signs-contract-extension/2021-08-06/) have both earned new deals under Patrick Vieira, however, Dann is the latest player to have his exit confirmed.

The 34-year-old made a total of [181](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-dann/leistungsdaten/spieler/62688) appearances for the Eagles, [15](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/scott-dann/leistungsdaten/spieler/62688/plus/0?saison=2020) of which came under Roy Hodgson last season.

Palace have brought in [two](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/transfers/verein/873) centre-backs in Marc Guehi and Joachim Andersen this summer, with Dann unable to earn himself a new deal under those conditions.

### Palace fans react
