    Don't you hate it when informed people use facts to undermine your point!

    £10m for Dawson???? Pozzo is really taking the pi55! He's worth double that. What a joke our club is becoming under our cheapskate owner

    £20m for Craig Dawson lol....this would make the Richarlison money look sensible

    £10m spread is about right

    I’ve heard he does a great act for new player introductions, brings a piano and everything.

    All the luvvies says that it’s a real skill to play piano badly like that.

    The £700k loan fee is a real piss take. If we managed to buy him for £10m on a 5 year deal he’d have cost us £2m a year. Don’t see why on Earth they would lend a player who they own to another club for less than their equivalent value. Surely it would be the other way round? Can’t afford to buy him outright so you loan him instead, but at a premium.

    He's not though. He's a better defender than Evans who went to Leicester.

    Liked for Les’s piano.

    It's harsh negotiation at its finest. Maybe he's good mates with Foster and they know he wants to come here?

    He's transfer listed and they have to shift him. We know that, they know that

    But he aint all that. Even if we got him, i wouldnt be thinking that it would significantly improve the squad let alone the team

    Big upgrade on Marriappa and Britos who will end up in our defence when the big two suffer their usual injuries and are attended by clown medics.

    If we don’t follow this up in next 24 hours with a proper bid then questions should be asked.

    We’ve taken 50m in transfer revenue this summer, we’ve bid for an experienced PL centre half which clearly proves the club know this is a weak area that needs improving, so now there’s no excuses.

    Bid 12m or 15m and bring him in. Stop twatting around.

    I think he probably would.

    He can defend.

    Like Cathcart but scores more.

    Not sure he has any more pace but better in the air.

    Doesn’t have a name I find slightly incredulous. It’s a no from me

    Julie Dawson from Sussex was a decent player.
    Can we persuade Sean to buy her and we have Craig?
    Although Craig and Craig is confusing.
    How old is Tommy Craig?
    Could we get him for good measure?

    Craig Forsyth is still available!

    Would prefer Les Dawson. Or Wendy Craig.

    Get it done. I think this fella is what we need

    I thought he was 35 but he’s still 29.

    6’2” & FF royalty.

    Played for GB (presumably a higher level than England).

    However, he’s a Lancy lad from Rochdale.

    Has got Burnley written all over him.

    Craig David?

    Incidentally, Wendy Craig is merely her stage name.

    Her real name is Anne Craig.

    Brings to mind Art Penis.

    They'll sell Tarkowski and bring Dawson in

    For the money would much prefer Webster.

    would prefer we went for someone called Smith or Jones.

    Whoever we go for let's get in early with our bid(s), which need to be serious ones and not punts. I would like to see us sorted at least with CBs in pre-season. Cathcart needs to be sure who will be his main partner. Either Webster or Dawson, with Mapps or Kabasele as backup. Wilmot is still an option. Hope the club are getting this sorted. If we can improve the defence again this season we should do OK. Clubs like Wet Spam and Everton are doing some serious investment. They will be more consistent than the last two seasons. Mid-table will be more competitive/ congested and we as always must ensure we don't hover around that relegation area.

    I'd prefer Mings.

    Regardless, there seem plenty of options out there that would likely improve our defence. We've got to get at least one, perhaps even two.
     
  33. Carpster

    Carpster Squad Player

    I'd have to agree. Saw Villa four or five times last season and Mings was outstanding. Totally different from the clumsy Bournemouth defender. He showed great confidence, poise and just kept getting better with a consistent run of games. Amazed that Villa haven't already signed him.

    That doesn't surprise me. He and Cahill were the obvious home grown players we would probably be looking at. Personally I think Dawson would be an excellent addition and with possibly Todibo I think we'd be sorted.

    Don't forget we did try to sign him on the last day of the window last season for around £10m. I would expect a similar fee to be offered this time also with only a year left on his contract. Looks like he's got a choice between Watford and Burnley. Both are similar clubs so I wouldn't know who he would choose. He's a Rochdale boy, so that could place Burnley higher up on his preferred destination maybe?
