If loads of people say a player is good who often see him play, he probably is, this is the very reason Spurs have a transfer panel, to mitigate the risk of one person calling something wrong.

Equally if you rate a player and no one else does you're more than likely wrong.
A lot of people think Dawson is good.

Dawson was present in 13 of our 14 clean sheets last season. He is definitely a good player, I doubt anyone that's a real fan would genuinely argue otherwise. Whether we need an upgrade or not is a different question.

I thing regardless of if someone things Dawson is good or bad where everyone would probably agree is that his abilities are sadly declining. That's the real issue, it's not that he was always poor or always fantastic, he's being sold because he's getting worse. He's 31 in a few months, this was always going to happen and will to any player so I don't think anyone should be feeling too vindicated here.

He was also present (the only CB that was) in every single one of our humiliating defeats.

He's only a "good" player by relative standards. Compared to CB's in lower divisions or non league football he's good. Compared to CB's that most of the teams above/around us have, he is not "good".

You don't just stick the knife in do you BC. You always like to twist it to.

In the right system Dawson will be decent, anything that involves running back and its time to bend over.

Is this the Dawson thread I am on? You know the one who gave our team 10 years service.


The same one that everyone wants out the team? Or is it the other guy who nobody will remember after the transfer window shuts

I wish that our players had half the heart that he shows on the pitch.

Oh, poor him. How many millions of pounds has he made off of us in that time? He's not doing it for free. "10 years of service" as if he was doing it out of the kindness of his heart FFS.

I love him as a person, but people need to stop painting him as some sort of hero for playing for us. He's lucky to have played for us, but I'm grateful for the effort he's put in. I'll wish him well wherever he goes, and if I see him in the street I'll give him a handshake and buy him a can of Lilt.

I won't try and castigate our fans for not wanting him to play for us anymore, though.

Nah he ain't Hero he is a bloke that loves our club

The same person that you were cheering on when he put the challenge in to save us.

But that is easy forgotten.

So you don't cheer your own players

Don't suppose you cheered when he scored against Chelsea either or when he lashed one into the roof of the net at villa
