    FC Twente are cutting short the loan of centre back Dedryck Boyata from Man City according to Sky Sports.

    He would be a decent short term option for us IMO. Hopefully we will be looking for a big signing at centre back but if we choose to look at the loan market we could do worse.

    Never rated Boyata tbh, but Dawson on the other hand.

    Can't see us getting Dawson. Arry will flash the cash!

    Why would he go to a Championship bound team?

    This will also be a problem for us...we know we are the bees knees, but some may not be aware of this:biggrin: Not a problem with loanees as it is a temporary position, though they might play better for us if they were hoping for a contract.

    Because Arry will make it worth his while. If the rumours are true his summer moves stalled because of his wage demands. Arry will solve that easily!

    But Dawson's not stupid. He will be aware that his wages will be drastically cut if QPR get relegated.

    From his interviews you are right he's not stupid. Maybe just mercenary! We will soon find out!

    He would be a very good signing. I wonder why they're selling him, he's always impressed me when I've seen him play. Would definitely take him over the other Dawson!

    Yes just realised that. That will teach me not to read threads properly:headbang:

    Apologies Saintsmagic!

    I would probably take Craig Dawson at Saints. He did well for me on FM anyway!

    I bet Granero, Cesar, Bosingwa, Park etc don't have wage cut clauses in their contract (or insignificant ones). QPR will have to sell for anything they can get.

    I don't want Michael Dawson to injury prone and clumsy plus the fact his wages are high. Craig Dawson would be class for us young as well fitting in with the way we go about building a squad.
