Seeing as we are short at centre half at the moment, if Daws has a niggle, it will not be worth the risk.

Interested to see who we replace Adebayor and Ekotto with. Both clearly leaving. With their attitudes I can't blame AVB.

Yeah he was just a last minute deal, but we should really have been able to scout someone so that we didn't have to make that last minute deal.


Agreed. I replied with that because I think Dempsey catches extra grief because some view him as VDV's replacement.

He did say that, and could be a sign in the cases of BAE and Ade (who were rumoured to leave anyway), but very much doubt Lewis or Daws wiil be out Heck, I thought Daws was our only fit CD anyway...

Better address this, and fast, Franco and Daniel!
Get a grip man...keep the faith, we still have a month of the transfer window, these high profile glamour friendlies have far less significance than during previous regimes, be good for some of the team to get a run out but I get the impression that alot more work on team shape, formation and general match tactics are done on the training pitch these days so less emphasis on these friendly games

So it's good scouting to get a player in and then kick him out after one season is it? I guess this is just another of those things where people say 'ah no one is responsible for things not working out'. It must be great to work at a place where you don't take responsibility.


Did we lose money on him?
We bought him the last day of the transfer window as a stop gap 3rd choice striker who could also play in midfield and gave us strength in depth. He scored 12 goals for us. Now we we don't need him (Soldado and Chadli in) we sold him for what we paid for him. Not a bad bit of business.

depends if we start the season with Livermore and Fryers as CB's at Crystal Palace, utter joke

They obviously doesn't want to risk Dawson in a friendly. Kaboul is on his way back and sadly Vertonghen got injured. The season doesn't start today.

Dawson's absence may be a precautionary measure. We cannot risk him going down as well.

Apart from the fact replacing VDV with Dempsey made us weaker

I know and no need to panick, only a friendly game but wouldn't it be nice to just once get a settled side sorted early, I don't give a shit when the transfer window shuts I want the players that are expected to be playing/starting in 2 weeks to be at least at the club to get familiar with the team and tactics now.

Makes selling Caulker an even more impressive move by the club
Chiriches needed signing about 1 minute before we signed papers with Cardiff. It is more than a little unfortunate that some mad bastard criminal who is currently locked up kyboshes a deal with the player en route to us but eh, unforeseen circs occur quite regularly in life.
