May 7, 201412 yr Realistically, how much would Dawson cost? Realistically, how much could we sell Ream for? I don't think there's a lot of difference in it, with a bit of decent negotiation, we could do a swap. Hold up, I've just seen the flaw in that plan.
May 7, 201412 yr I would guess that Dawson is probably c£2.5M and Ream is probably c£1M Edited May 7, 201412 yr by CWP
May 7, 201412 yr Dawson is a £2m player all day, Ream is a 500K one. Dawson is a 20K a week player, Ream is a 5K a week one. So, roughly £1.5m plus another 750K a year wages, £4m over 3 years, minimum. Then when Dawson goes to a bigger club, some window licker keeps posting how come we only got 3 bob for a player at the end of his contract. I'd rather stick with Ream.

May 7, 201412 yr Our days of paying anything anywhere near high enough wages to tempt Dawson and the likes are long gone in affraid. I'd be looking below not above.
May 7, 201412 yr I would be amazed if Ream is on £5,000 a week. Hope you're right. He might not be, but he will be as soon as he's in the last year of his contract.
May 7, 201412 yr wasn't ream on 3 n 6 when we got him from the U.S i dread to think what we pay him per week it was well documented at the time he was getting a massive pay rise 30 times according to mail up to 20k a week, which I can well believe - I think most of Coyle's PL signings were on similar http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2085875/Bolton-tempt-Tim-Ream-deal-worth-30-times-salary.html as for Dawson, very much doubt £2M would do it, it's a non starter for us anyway, but for a PL team I reckon they could get him for £4M
May 7, 201412 yr Players are like houses. It doesn't matter what you or your estate agent think it's worth, it's what someone is prepared to pay. If you have to move quickly, you might accept less than the asking price because you're already paying for your new house & can't afford both. Equally, you might have a lot of interest in your house, 2 or 3 people might want it & you can sit back & wait for who wants to pay the most. Problem is, our Estate Agent has been a bit shit in recent years.
May 7, 201412 yr it was well documented at the time he was getting a massive pay rise 30 times according to mail up to 20k a week, which I can well believe - I think most of Coyle's PL signings were on similar http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2085875/Bolton-tempt-Tim-Ream-deal-worth-30-times-salary.html as for Dawson, very much doubt £2M would do it, it's a non starter for us anyway, but for a PL team I reckon they could get him for £4M His wages would likely have dropped when we got relegated though I reckon. Either way its fucking insane that we are even considering it I think we need to be looking at players making the step up from lower not tother way round.
May 7, 201412 yr Fwiw, WBA fans seem far from impressed with Dawson from what I've read. They all reckon he's not made the step up to the Premier League and isn't a long term answer. 4th choice centre back at best etc. They're blaming him for the goal at Arsenal and are baffled that Pepe Mel stuck him at right back.

May 7, 201412 yr As Dougie has said... We need players that might not be as good..., but will want to play for the team..
May 7, 201412 yr As Dougie has said... We need players that might not be as good..., but will want to play for the team.. Hundreds of 'em in the ESL.
May 7, 201412 yr Hundreds of 'em in the ESL. I don't think DF meant "not be as good" by quite such a margin.

May 7, 201412 yr i could find posts on here saying cahill and jussi were shit Not forgetting Nolan, Anelka and Okocha
May 7, 201412 yr i could find posts on here saying cahill and jussi were shit I don't think it's fair to include anewman's posts...
May 7, 201412 yr I like it. We can swap Beckford for Messi, Chungy for Bale and Chris Eaves for Ronaldo whilst we're at it. Chris Eaves - I thought it was Tom Eaves?
May 7, 201412 yr Never heard of Tom. Chris' twin brother, mate. Like the weird twist of fate that Chris Eagles also has a brother called Thomas.
