yet out table position has improvedBe very sad to see Dawson go, Spurs get less and less like a team I've any great interest in supporting. More and more like bunch of mercenaries who have no feel for the club.
Of course I'm addicted so I'll carry on supporting, but the club is a mere shadow of the one I began supporting way back when.

Aren't you the bloke who always says how much he wants a sheikh or an oligarch to buy us?Spurs get less and less like a team I've any great interest in supporting. More and more like bunch of mercenaries who have no feel for the club.
I honestly dont know why we would sell him for a couple of million, seems pointless to me as how many professionals of his standard can play most of Europa for you, League and FA cup, captain the side and wouldnt moan one bit, plus if your first choices ever got injured for the league games, he would be great to come in - why sell him when he is a positive influence all round the club

I agree with most of what you have said, we do need his character but more ability. We've all seen that if we continue with the high line It doesn't suit Dawson at all even though he will do his best and won't complain. It happened putting brad in for Europa games and the same happens with Dawson, there is no consistency, it leads to mistakes and confusion and other team can take advantage of that immediately. I think we need to get a strong centre back pairing and stick with it. As I much as I love Dawson and what he does it is essentially putting a square peg in a round hole asking him to play in a high line system.

Oh of course if we got a couple of centre backs who were capable of this would be great but its gonna be another 60 game season, and you know our luck and I agree it wouldnt be ideal to keep moving people around, but it has to happen sadly, plus WHEN we do get injuries, he's great to throw in.
To the point with Friedel, 5 mins to go 1-0 up do you want him coming on, a 19yr old or someone who has been moaning for 3 months - there is definitely a place for Dawson for a team with a 60 game season coming up

Seems like a bit of a recurring theme in the past posts that most people have been happy for his service but his time has past. Football has moved on and it's going to be very rare to see a one club player anymore these days and more importantly, when you are an older guy like Dawson the game can go past you very quickly and all the recovery in the world wont keep you up to pace of the modern game..
