its tough, but he is behind fox and luke shaw will probably displace him too.think this is the last year of his contract anyway
He could always cancel his contract if he wants to leave and play that bad. Not like he is skint isit?.
To me it sounds like some other club (Yeovil?) have decided not to take him on loan, for "business reasons".
His follow-up of "Just can't understand not wanted so let me play else where!" makes me thing it's at our end.
He retweeted a guy that said"so they won't let you leave and won't let you play". So think it's us tbh.
I don't think he'd of thrown a strop for nothing, yes he acted out but to take such a substantial chunk of a footballers career away because we had to win is incredibly selfish of the club. Just because Saints stock has gone up does not make dickson a better player, it's obnoxious of the club to be keeping him at his own will when we have 3 left backs who'd be played ahead of him. At the very least we should loan him out. And Fran I didn't say that Nigel was ignoring him. I said he stuck him in the reserves after 1 or 2 matches. Bringing him on for the last few moments of a game we'd already sewn up is not using him to his best ability, he has got bags more ability than De Ridder or Chaplow, so in a game that was so important to us he should have started. It's hard to pick specific examples but our whole attitudes to contracts and player negotiations seem a tad arrogant.
Oh no poor Dickson he only has to sit there on around 8k a week. Have you even heard both sides of the story?, no you haven't. Anything could have happened, if he wants to play that bad ask for a transfer? Or terminate his contract himself. Oh wait he probably doesn't want to give his 8k a week up.
Have to agree. We mess with player's career so badly. I mean letting them have a free seat on a ride to the PL, oh and getting paid. They were more than happy signing a contract. Dickson knew Pardew could go, and the new man may not want him and they may struggle to shift him for what they want. There's a difference between being fair and trying to work a deal to a club's benefit than bowing to player power.
I don't blame him for wanting to play but, if he doesn't want his 6 figure salary job for sitting doing nothing, I'll take it.
Yeah I don't blame him wanting to play, but he could easily sort it. Instead of moaning on a social site for everyone to see.
It's never easy to tell what Dickson's talking about on Twitter. He seems incapable of forming a coherent sentence.
That's the whole point though he is fine to go and play at a lower level the clubs not letting him go. Why mess up one players career we're rich enough to lose a couple of 100k in transfers. You're right anything could have happened on either side neither of us know the full story. You guys are all talking about terminating the contract which cost a lot, even for a footballer. Furthermore you'd have to imagine that any potential suitors wouldn't be keen on signing a player who has previously terminated his contract.
yeah, the club are terrible, trying to manage their assets in a sensible financial manner. Let's go back to the old ways of pissing money up the wall shall we. FFS. I don't the facts, but probably along the lines of ... Saints value him at X and no club will pay that or he's on big bucks, and too big for a league one side. Shame, take a pay cut, or go and get a 25k a year job and be like Mr average.
We have one of the most approachable managers in football, so I find it hard to understand Dickson's point of view. Either knuckle down or ask to leave, it really is that straight forward.
Instead of moaning about it on Twitter, why doesn't he get his head down and try to impress the manager or watching scouts to prove he is worth the value? Not Premier League standard by a long shot, but this should be kept in house
Why should Saints reduce what they want for Dickson, just because he wants to leave?. He is the one wanting to play and obviously knows he is not in our plans. So either he sorts something out or he waits until a club matches our value.
Honestly, that is an astonishing comment when you consider where we have come from. Just burn a couple of 100k... I am stunned.
I too would be disappointed if I were in his position. But he has to accept that he'll have to lower demands to move away. Think he would be a very good signing for Championship teams. Also have you seen his Mrs! Hot is an understatement
