Gorgiesaint Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 QPR want Dawson according to the Times. More likely he would wish to remain in London. Talksport saying rumoured QPR, Stoke & Sunderland have had bids accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Yeah, def can see some more exits. There are a few who won't get near the squad. Butterfield is another - we have Clyne, Richardson and also Stephens who can play RB. De Ridder must also be on borrowed time - can't make the 7 man bench and thats before at least one new wide player comes in. Very odd to offer Butterfield a new contract last season after only playing about 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Without a Halo Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Very odd to offer Butterfield a new contract last season after only playing about 3 times. looks like he has a role with the under 21's as well as being avialble as emergency cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 I like the Biglia link. While we would say we have enough central midfielders, if he's better than what we have, then that means he's Adkins type of signing. He's been at Anderlecht for 6 years, and I could see him fancying a new challenge, especially the lure of the Premier League. If he's reasonably priced, why not take a punt on him. Biglia, Cork, Morgan and Davis would be an awesome combo. I feel sorry for Hammond (in particular) and Chaplow (although he's versatile) but that's the price of success. I can see this happening, although perhaps it won't be until January. (When we have more cash! Pending us spending a fair bit this window.)

Yes IMHO, and one of the best illustrations that to get deals done, playing things straight is mainly a waste of time We identified him correctly as an up and coming left back and we sold him the club well. He started to mess us about with financial claims from Dad so we told him to sling his hook. It's nice to see these Northern clubs picking up on the crumbs that leave in our wake.

corky morris Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 I was talking with a client of mine today who was just finishing up in a meeting with a client of his who turns out to be a scout at Man Utd. He does the opposition scouting prior to a game. And to nobodies surprise he said to me that the weakness of Saints is the lack of mobility of our Centre Half's. He was at the game on Sunday & said anyone with a modicum of football knowledge can see we are vulnerable to the ball in behind them. Also said that Clyne will be with us for a maximum of 2 seasons as he will be playing for a top 4 club!! All this does for me is confirm that we need not one, but 2 centre half's if we want to progress. Lets hope we can get at least one as soon as possible. The Spurs defender we are interested in is apparently Danny Rose by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSaint Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 SSN *breaking news* QPR make bid for Dawson in region of 5.5m Just based on the weekend I'd be very surprised if about 15 clubs, including us, didn't take a run at him (assuming that there isn't a long term injury rumour out there).

QPR have made a bid which hasn't even been accepted. therefore he isn't set to sign. He may do at some point, but they've only made a bid at this stage.
