9 mill for a Dawson would be a very good bit of business. So we shift our 4th choice CB that struggled with injuries lately for the same amount we bought the Ajax captain and their leagues best rated player last season.

Only Levy...

I'll miss Michael Dawson

I doubt Inter will accept anything less than the £25m they got for Oscar.

I'm not sure, Chelsea would probably have paid less if they were as frugal as Levy.

Of course they would, the chairmen said he wanted €20million if tottenham want to sign him a couple days before their bid

Or you could say our captain who is steady,always gives his all,knows the prem well and is an important part of our squad.And we bring in a quality player in Jan,but is new to the prem and is still unproven
We are about to lose our captain,we have already lost King,i find that a tad scary.

 

[Misfit]

Ade done, bids being ITK'd and figures going around twitter. This is going to be a hell ride for these last 10 days or so.

 

[tommyt]

Always with the drama..

I think in gallas, Kaboul and Caulker we have enough prem experience personally, Dawsons a great guy and a good footballer, powerful, good in the air and great pro but lacks pace and not brilliant positionally.

If Dawson does leave, it won't be because he's a bad CB. He's a very good CB. Before AVB even signed some wondered if his game would suit the new system though. His lack of pace is a hinderence. Gallas needs to nut up though and get his melon in the way of shots on goal though. The great big tart.

We have great options all the same. We're not leaving ourselves short.

 

[tommyt]

Bentley next then?

 

[huddly]

@EPLAgent007: BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea have had a £36M bid accepted for Luka Modric.

Huh????

Hell ride? Nah, will be freaking awesome!

The amount of ITK we've had on potential other incomings and outgoings it will be a very interesting week. If we get 2 more in it would be awesome.

We could get noone though but the Ade deal has put me on a high today!

 

[Bofbro]

Gallas surely won't be at our place next season.What do we do then?Promote?

It's better to be a big tart than a little tart. Unless of course you're more likely to be eaten.

WTF!

 

[felmani26]

Dawson is the past and Caulker is the future.

I think you have a point here. Maybe the coaching team have high hopes for Grant Hall? I must say I haven't seen anything of Hall though..

With Gallas turning 36 next august it's safe to say he'll just have this one season left in him at the level we need him to be at.

 

[THOWIG]

Include Romeu and Ramires and we'll talk

The thinking must be that it just won't work for Daws and Gallas will be a good short term help. I guess we'll sign a Brazilian/Portuguese CB next summer, if all goes to plan.
