Ramos didn't have King available for just about all of his tenure bar a handful.
I have never said Dawson is the worst CB in the EPL but he is no better than most and probably more clanger prone than many.
And any player will appear to improve if surrounded by quality players. Did Dawson improve this season or was it the fact that all of a sudden he was surrounded by Gomes, Woody (or King) & Corluka ?
Just as in 2005-6 he had Salty and King either side and 3/4 CM's in front.
As a back up CB I don't have too many problems with Dawson.
