spike1867 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Andy King gone back to Leicester from Derby. Think he's due to be moved on, he'd be a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's not much between Dawson and Wildsmith as far as I can see, so to keep both as backup seems wasteful if there's decent money to be made...

Guest wilyfox Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Decent keepers aren't hard to come by. I wouldn't lose any sleep. Dawson is a good shot stopper, but he can't command the defence in front of him yet. Needs work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree Dawson is far from the finished item, but he’s still relatively inexperienced, and if he can work on those areas you identify as a weakness, he still has a good chance of making it. My suggestion back in May, was to send both youngsters out for six months apiece, and then assess the situation. Westwood is crucial for us next year, and will rightly be first choice, but he is at the veteran stage and will soon need replacing If we can do that in house, all the better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westwood is crucial for us next year, and will rightly be first choice, but he is at the veteran stage and will soon need replacing If we can do that in house, all the better If we do get promoted next season Dawson wouldn't be anything like good enough to replace Westwood in the Premiership. I can see why he might want to move on, he had half a season as first choice now he's back down in the pecking order. It's a very hard life being a keeper, most of them end up as understudies and rarely get a run of games. Sometimes you need to drop a league to get first team foofball. Westwood knows what that is like. If he goes good luck to him, just in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swiss Toni Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Dawson or Wildsmith will need to go if we keep hold of Westwood - if either of them have any ambition anyway. If the rumours are true that Dawson has asked to leave then it suggests we may be close to tying down Westwood and therefore he finds his options limited.

Forgot all about him I heard on Talksport last week that under the terms of his contract he got a pay rise to £70K per week due to Villa getting promoted. So either this was poo information or Villa have paid up his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
