Craig Dawson

[Mickyblueeyes]

How has he been this season @The Bear ? 

 

My knowledge of Dawson is he IS the experienced defender we have been crying out for all season. However, that's if he hasnt lost it with age. 

 

Great in the air, leader and far better than what we have. Someone you could stick Okoli next to. 

 

But I am basing it on Dawson at West Ham.

He's not shit you just had no idea how to use him properly. He's no Van Dijk but he's a very solid sweeper defender and reader of the game. 

 

Trust me, every Wolves fan will be delighted to see him back. He would never have left in the first place but for that ***** Lage getting rid of him because he was too outspoken in the dressing room. 

 

He'll fit what we're trying to do with a back three more than Dawson does now. Dawson will probably fit what you're trying to do defensively too so it makes sense from a footballing perspective. Dawson's age is an issue but it could easily work out. He was probably our best defender last season. 

What are we trying to do

[frany104]

I’d be happy with this. 
 

Coady is bang average and on huge wages. 
 

Dawson is a bit better and will be on a lot less in terms of wages.

Well spill the beans, mate! If you're privy to this information, let us know!

You must be laughing you ass off, as to how the last few weeks is working out.

 

Fair play to you (Wolves I mean)

[daddylonglegs]

I'm so fed up of this football club being an embarrassment ffs

£100k a week?! for Coady?!  Fuch me.

 

if that's true then I'm all for this deal. Wolves wouldn't match that so we'll probably have to still pay a percentage. Who knows 

In all the pre Tottenham leaks it was reported that we signed someone for the championship season on 70k a week who got a promotion pay rise to around 100k. I think it can only be coady or winks and with coady being on the fringes of England teams and offering that "leadership" we were lacking I would say its him. 

 

Either way I would bet he's not far off it with 2 more years left, and there's probably no subsequent relegation clause because we probably didn't plan that far ahead

[StanSP]

So we're going for OAPs up front and in defence

 

Could this be the slowest team we've ever had? 

 

Can't wait for the high line we'll play against opponents in future

 

[The Bear]

What you are trying to do = Play a back four. 

What we are trying to do = Play a back three. 

[EnderbyFox]

General consensus from Wolves fans is that Dawsons legs have completely gone & he's been a disaster this season. Fits right in here 

[Jattdogg]

When's heskey coming back?

That's pretty obvious. 

 

But a 34y/o isn't the answer.

Can someone photoshop rudkin, top and whelan on this please?

[Bluetintedspecs]

Dawson is a decent defender and very experienced  , I don't think it's as bad a 'potential' swap deal as some are making out 

[VLC86]

Just now, The Bear said:

What you are trying to do = disappear into oblivion

Corrected

[blue is the colour]

As a sad human being just been on the Wolves forum. Without exception they are 100% for the swap. Dawson was good until ten months ago and his legs went. Someone even said this is another Ryan Bennet!

Which is probably what we should be doing too.

Might be some PSR shenanigans. Both clubs sell to generate revenue when in reality neither player plays. 

 

This is it. 

 

I know we've got five pages of hysteria because everyone's upset we aren't buying Brazilian regens but let's be honest this is just straight horse trading for PSR. 

 

We don't play Coady, we aren't gonna play Dawson, we're just going to pay each other a small fee and mess about with contracts to tinker with the books. 

 

The squad is no weaker or stronger. 

 

[Tomo260]

Well this just sums it up.

 

Rudkin you're an embarrassment get out our club.

 

Wolves have new CBs and try to offload their trash to us, which we're actually considering it.

 

Joke!

[foxfanazer]

 

This will almost certainly happen. We're a ****ing shambles. Welcome to the Great Rudkinski's circus Craig 

[RoboFox]

PSR fiddle. Who cares?
