Neon Nick Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 32 minutes ago, Salmonbones said: Rangers in the hunt apparently as of 2 days ago too. Money talks, but so does loyalty. One will win over the other, only time will tell which. I'm not sure we will be offering the largest cash incentive to our boy Dawson. I don't know anything about Cameron Dawson but if I were him, all loyalty aside, I'd be struggling right now because you are not a footballer for long in this life. I do however hope he thinks he can be our No1 for the next 10 years, and that may persuade him. Agree 100%. Sure, Wednesday would like to keep Dawson, but it's up to Dawson whether or not to accept a new contract. I don't doubt that others have their eyes on him, only Dawson can decide where he wants to play, if in fact he's getting offers. He (Dawson) has a lot to consider, because like you say, Salmonbones, the playing life of most footballers is short, got to make your money fast, and save it, because after that, you'll be on "workmans wages", if you can find a job.

And you have no idea we will lose those two for free. I don't know, neither do you, but we got in position to lose both for nothing (or small compensation fee in Penney's case). Surely you can't say it was a good work by the club ?! Can't imagine Blackpool paid a lot for Thorniley although I'm guessing as clubs didn't want to make fee public. Selling young and proven Championship defender doesn't seem good deal for me right now. Sadly in this window Blackpool comes across as more ambitious side then us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Dawson is becoming a solid Championship GK, but he's not irreplaceable. The most concerning aspect is that he'd leave for nothing, that said I think he wants to stay, the club want him to stay and expect a new deal to be announced in due course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, some people 18 months ago gave him all the stick they should have stuck on Jos. I think the way those 'fans' turned on him could be on his mind and may influence him to leave. However, those 'fans' seem to love him now so maybe he'll be happy he's won them over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have done nothing wrong with Dawson or Penney. Both are playing to get experience and increase their value. We really werent getting that much for someone like Thorniley. And what has he provern. Being no more than average and being quite a bit behind other options. Its good business to sign Borner on free and Iorfa for peanuts than rely on Thornley. And signing Thorniley is hardly ambituous ffs. We have more ambition than Blackpool and are constrained by EFL rather than a lack of ambition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see us looking towards future bit more. thorniley as probably found his level and what we got for him is more than likely his worth ……..yes theres a chance the other two could go for free but I doubt that will happen . you have to balance things up with young players was giving wildsmith a 5 year contract a good deal possibly not but young players are a gamble . …..there was a thread on here recently about Richie Humphreys who was flavour of the month and got himself a good contract and hardly played for 2 years due to him turning out to be crap at the level we were at but we couldn't get rid ……...we looked to the future with jack stobbs and gave him a good contract .that's not going to work out either . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 I don’t think we need to panic. We should just make the offer that we think he’s worth and not get drawn into any agent talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But somewhere along the line we turned down 3m from Leeds for Humphreys and offer to swap him for Pigs Vos Borbokis. In my opinion both deals would justify good contract we gave him. All in all we gambled, made some poor decisions and lost. Just like we made with fair few youngsters after him. In my opinion, giving someone like Wildsmith 5 years long deal was a joke, and then letting our other talented youngsters contracts run into their last 6 months is a joke. Regarding Thorniley. In my opinion, he did really well when given chance with us and never let us down. Certainly a player who had place in our squad, hope we got a bit for him.

Guest HillsboroughOwlNI Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 We need to sign him up ASAP. If he must move, I hope he chooses the right side of Glasgow. I couldn’t bear to see him in a septic shirt. Even worse than the pigs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 He'd be crazy to turn down either, especially after the Muppets last season signing we want Dawson out against Rotherham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
