Dawson to Watford
So confirmed WBA accept 5.5 mill offer for Dawson. Means we will not be getting him I see that as a plus.

Re: Dawson to Watford
I’d have liked Dawson solely for his heading ability at set pieces. Defensively he’s excellent, and offensively he’d really benefit from our good dead ball deliveries.

Re: Dawson to Watford
Haha surely not even we are stingy enough to value him lower than that. Surely there was no interest.
Re: Dawson to Watford
Hope we are confident enough to hold on to Tarks

Re: Dawson to Watford
Would have been a fantastic signing for us at that price and clearly a player Dyche has desperately wanted for about four years, so this does make you wonder along with Adams going to Southampton.

dodged a bullet in my view, he suffers terribly with piles according to a recent interview, probably sidelined for ages if we had him.

Re: Dawson to Watford
Why we have either torn up our target list of players that I think most assumed heavily included Dawson and Adams in particular or were unwilling to pay for both players when we have previously bid more for both than they have ended up going for.ClaretTony wrote:Makes you wonder what?
The only logical conclusion I can reach is that we have an entirely different set of targets this summer to what we have done over the last 12 month, which I find surprising.

Re: Dawson to Watford
Would walk into our team at right back, in my opinion. Just as adept there as in the centre and neither Lowton or Bardsley have that position nailed.Grumps wrote:Fantastic signing to sit on the bench as 4th choice. Dyche did want him, then we signed Gibson instead
Re: Dawson to Watford
If we need a right back, I don't think Dawson would be on anyone's list, not particularly the young attacking full back that would fit into the side. If the price is correct, iam sure if we'd wanted him we'd have got him.jedi_master wrote:Would walk into our team at right back, in my opinion.

For all we know we may have had the same offer accepted, yet we demanded relegation clauses, whereas Watford didn't have them.

Dawson will be a decent enough squad signing for Watford

Re: Dawson to Watford
Don’t think for one moment he’d have dislodged Tarks or Mee. However he could have added competition. He could also have solved a potential problem at right back a position. Especially at the nominal (by PL standards) suggested transfer fee.

Re: Dawson to Watford
I agree that Tarks, mee and Gibbo are better. However, unfortunately i feel someone will meet Tark's release fee this window. It may be good news that we have missed out Dawson but I worry about our ability to get who we want these days.ElectroClaret wrote:As I posted, imo he's no better, so he wouldn't have improved us.

Who’s said that we wanted him this time?
Yes SD has apparently been after him in previous windows, and 4yrs ago it would have been a good signing and would possibly have been an improvement on what we had at the time but he’s now 4yrs older, and no better than what we already have imo

Ha give over we have been after him for 4 seasons now - stop trying to make it look like we were never in for him.ClaretTony wrote:What sources?
You were only quoted the other week saying that Dyche is a big fan so no surprise we are after him again.
Let's face it our recruitment policy is a shambles - this season we need to spend that bit more on players and if it also means wages then so be it.

Not saying he'd be happy with it, but however you frame it, that's what it'd amount to.

Re: Dawson to Watford
Who says he’s happy to just be a squad player? He’s been an important member of our team, making 22 PL appearances in 2 seasons. That’s more than 25%. He knows that if there’s an injury to one of our first choice centre backs he will he given the trust of the manager.BOYSIE31 wrote:No don't personally think so as if he had something about him he would have been playing at that level for the last few years - never understand players who are happy to be squad players only though
He’s been at Burnley a long time, is probably very settled in the area and has probably got a great set of mates. Not to mention he’s part of a PL team and no doubt earning a fantastic living. I don’t think it’s fair to suggest that he doesn’t have ‘something about him’.

Re: Dawson to Watford
That’s as big an out of context reply as I’ve seen. We tried to sign him five years ago and once since. I don’t believe we were in for him this summer at all and eventually last year our main defensive target was Alfie Mawson who had agreed a deal and then shot off to Fulham.BOYSIE31 wrote:Ha give over we have been after him for 4 seasons now - stop trying to make it look like we were never in for him.

And if our recruitment policy was a shambles I can assure you we wouldn’t be playing Premier League football.
Re: Dawson to Watford
We'll just have to keep Tarkowski.
