I doubt the wages will be a lot different TBH. Not enough to make that the deciding factor. As you say, retain your dour/solid reputation at Burnley, or risk the big 6, WHU & Muff running rings round you and making you look old, slow and stupid in the soft south.
If Dawson falls through as the CB pick, couldn't we flip to the Alex de Pfeffel mentioned in the other thread?
Better than Mapps but hardly a signing to set the world in fire. Might as well have kept Britos and the £10m. Is this all because Havy doesn’t like Wilmot at CB, and thinks we need 7 players competing for 2 CM spots?
Do the mods have some form of Skype vision of the correspondents? Actually, it's more 'could be M, but L is a little more comfortable'. For the Palarse semi, I grabbed what turned out to be my son's S shirt. Spent the afternoon like a bursting yellow frankfurter.
He's never there though. Always on a plane or at an airport. So not sure who you can see with Mrs RD ......??
I will walk around for a week with a giant dildo attached to my head if we pay between £15m and £20m for Dawson. It’s not how we roll.
WBA fans on their forums seem to think he has made it known he wants out and they need to raise funds to build a squad for Bilic. Popular belief on there seems to be they think they will be lucky to get anything over £5m and they won’t get £10m. He won’t be going anywhere for more than that due to age and remaining contract length.
Or Ben Watson according to the WO: https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...raig-dawson-according-to-reports/?ref=mr&lp=4
Sounds about right. Their fans are less than complimentary about his performances last season. Not the player he used to be in the EPL?
https://twitter.com/AdamLeventhal/status/1141335875567177729 #WatfordFC CB search latest Understand talks continue with WBA & Craig Dawson & appears at pivotal period. Interesting to see that Kim Min-Jae (S Korea int, 22yrs, 6’3, Beijing Gouan) is back in mix - was on radar in Jan. Assume would be one or the other
Why not both? Prodl isn't going to play for us again and I think Dawson will be an improvement over Mariappa. That leaves Min-Jae, Mariappa, Wilmot (?) and Kabasele fighting for the last spot. Mariappa has been OK but he's limited and Kabs looks shakey every time he plays. Of course no idea how Min-Jae would adapt to English football, he could be terrible.
Per Wobby, WFC says "no". https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...n-west-bromwich-albion-defender-craig-dawson/
Apparently Watford are NOT interested in Craig Dawson!! https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/s...n-west-bromwich-albion-defender-craig-dawson/ The WO are reporting this, so I expect the signing to be announced this afternoon.
Leventhal doesn't have any particular insights until the club give him a nod a couple of hours before a deal is tied up so he can announce it on Sky.
It may have all been a smokescreen, for our new £30mil defender. Edit: apologies - accidentally put the symbol for pound instead of Iranian Rial.
