TJB-fox Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Dawson shit?.. the times he's looked suspect this year is against the top strikers in the premiership, who we dont really need to match. We need to match the teams that would be around us, not Liverpool man city etc. To call someone who has been on the fringe of the national team for years (albeit not atm) shit is pretty strange imo

He is shit.
BosomBouncer Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 I think our current defenders are great, but incredibly slow. I can see Was/Wes getting caught out by the better strikers, which is where Moore could be very helpful. I don't see Dawson as a great alternative as I simply can't see where he'd fit in. I bet he'd want a load of money, too. Further, he'd want to prove himself nearer the top of the table, I reckon. He'll go to a mid-table club and do well/okay.
Leeds_Fox95 Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 The Mirror reckons Spurs are trying to offload 4 players. Nacer Chadli, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Lewis Holtby and Michael Dawson Sigurdsson, Holtby and Dawson would be out of this world Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jimothy Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Would take Sigurdson and Chadli. Dawson is average, and I don't get the Holtby hype. Every time I've seen him he looks like a competition winner where the prize was to turn out for a team of your choice.
TJB-fox Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 I'm not saying we should sign him but to call him shit is ridiculous
cjslcfc Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Been reading the quote from his agent!! Reckons that he's been in conversation with "the VERY ambitious chairman of an ambitious PL team"... Rules out quite a few teams. After all, you wouldn't label the likes of the top 4-5 clubs as being 'ambitious', and there's a number of Chairmen up and down the Prem who can't really be considered as 'very ambitious': (Gold or Ashley for example)! When I first read the article I immediately thought of Vichai, (as you do), but dismissed it from mind, thinking it was most likely the guy at Swansea, (Jenkins is it)?... Turns out though that they're after the guy from Twente....thoughts?? Here's a sky rumour about him http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11685/9331980/transfer-news-five-premier-league-clubs-chasing-french-striker-bafetimbi-gomis Agent is Willie McKay and he says he's been speaking to 5 Prem teams. Probably out of our league to be honest but would be a great signing!
Narborough_fox Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Wasn't he after £100k-a-week if he was to go to Newcastle?
RizLCFC Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 He'd be a class signing, I'm sure I read yesterday that QPR wanted him.
Stadt Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Okay, Dawson isn't a good premiership centre half, is that better?
TJB-fox Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Okay, Dawson isn't a good premiership centre half, is that better? hm not quite;) although im more than happy with Upson but If given the choice I would've preferred Dawson instead.
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Have we all purposely missed out the bit at the bottom where it says "the club who really are pushing for him have been long term admirers & made a big bid for him before?" That rules us out surely?
RizLCFC Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 This is an absolute steal from Sunderland http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2645598/Sunderland-agree-1-5m-deal-Jordan-Mutch-impressive-season-Cardiff.html
Bluearmyfox28 Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 This is an absolute steal from Sunderland http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2645598/Sunderland-agree-1-5m-deal-Jordan-Mutch-impressive-season-Cardiff.html I personally said this should be someone who we should be aiming for a while ago! Didn't play much first half of the season yet still scored plenty of goals! Anyone fancy Jack Colback & Adam Johnson aswell? Claims the pair are suppose to be leaving, I would love them both here!
Tielemans63 Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 This is an absolute steal from Sunderland http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2645598/Sunderland-agree-1-5m-deal-Jordan-Mutch-impressive-season-Cardiff.html Wow. Totally agree with you there. £1.5 mill is an absolute steal. Sunderland are making some good additions to be fair.
Happy Fox Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Its alright we are signing Gareth Barry , good signing in all honesty by Sunderland wish we could get him.
KFS Posted 1 June 2014 Posted 1 June 2014 Sunderland are doing bits. Mass overhaul at Cardiff though, that won't work.
Buce Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 He'd be a class signing, I'm sure I read yesterday that QPR wanted him. That's not much of an endorsement.
RizLCFC Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 That's not much of an endorsement. To be honest, they've been linked with some decent players, not like the ones they signed a few years ago. The likes of Lescott, Dawson, Gomis, Barry, Williams are all good quality players, apart from Gomis, the rest are experienced with at least a couple more years of Premiership football in them.
Guest Col city fan Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 Someone above said Thorgan Hazard Good shout....
LCCFox96 Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 This is an absolute steal from Sunderland http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2645598/Sunderland-agree-1-5m-deal-Jordan-Mutch-impressive-season-Cardiff.html Jordi Gomez (free), Billy Jones (free) and Jordan Mutch (£1.5mil) is good business. Poyet seems to be already clearing up Di Canio's mess. Can see Sunderland being a fair bit stronger and finishing a bit further up the table next year.
Leeds_Fox95 Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 No, haven't 'purposely' missed that out! As I understand it, Newcastle were very interested some months ago. It's just that I don't conside rMike Ashley as a 'very ambitious' chairman....probably I'm off the mark, and yes, he would demand a good wage,but I honestly don't think that someone of his reputation is any longer unrealistic, given our 'new' status and our board's ambitions! TBH QPR might be a bigger threat to any chance of signing him! I think you're reading too much in to it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
LCCFox96 Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 One player who looks a real hot prospect is the young Seattle Sounders right back DeAndre Yedlin. Watched a few Sounders games online before and he looks a real talent. Also in the USA World Cup squad. He could be a good understudy to RDL and would be a relatively cheap acquisition coming from the MLS.
dmayne7 Posted 2 June 2014 Posted 2 June 2014 To everybody describing Jordan Mutch as a steal at £1.5m; that's nonsense... He's worth a LOT more than that. That could turn out to be an unreal piece of business. He's got the game to be the perfect midfielder a bit like Yaya although he obviously needs refinement. Even £10 million for him would have been a decent deal.
