To be fair, if we could get near 10m for Dawson it 'should' really help us strengthening the team where we need it cos we have plenty of CB's in Gallas, Kaboul, Verts & Caulker. I wouldn't like to see him leave either, but if him and Modric going paves the way for Ade, Moutinho, a keeper and another striker to join I'll be very happy. However if this money disappears and we don't buy the 4 players above, I'll be very disappointed.

Ormus wrote: » Ah yeah I see your point, I just don't think the money we would get for Dawson would make a big impact on our spending power, and we would lose a good leader and great servant. I see Gallas as being a sulking, negative presence if used only as backup. Daws would be the complete opposite.

My guess is that Hudd and Daws do not possess the physical attributes that the system requires.. Great servant Daws but I always think back to v Fulham (in the cup I think) when he gave away a penalty and saw red for a clumsy late tackle... And to be fair to Hudd he can spray the ball around the pitch with ease but he needs a two foot turning circle and a sounder on his back when reversing.... You have to break eggs to make an omelete... I think I would rather see Daws go than Caulker spend the whole season on the bench. There is no point loaning him out again, he has proved he is ready (plus AVB likes young and physically fit players). Gallas is an intelligent centre half, with the King retiring he is worth having around.

Ormus wrote: » Ah yeah we will survive easily enough, but still it's a shame to lose such a positive influence as Daws.
