Top captain material. Not top defender material unfortunately. I really like him, but unfortunately I think theres 4 better CB's in our squad. BUT He's ahead of Khumalo...
We've all seen that Dawson can kick a ball hard, maybe not accurately but you can't have everything. He is also good in the air. Lets put him up front! Who should we drop in our 15 man team to achieve this?
Keep in mind AVB plays with a high defensive line....so in fact....your defenders become midfielders and midfielders become strikers!
If we really want to copy Spain's formation from the Euros... Friedel Walker Kaboul Vertonghen BAE Huddlestone Sandro Carroll Sigurdsson VDV Bale I'd say we have a chance with that line-up - but would rather a striker was in it.
I think if the M'Vila rumors are true, we're aiming for a 0-10-0, with all defensive midfielders: So Sandro-Parker-Livermore-M'Vila-? I'll believe we'll have no top strikers when the transfer window closes. I'll have all season to bewail it, so I'm saving myself till then.
If we line up against Newcastle with... Friedel Walker Kaboul Vertonghen BAE Sandro M'Vila Huddlestone Sigurdsson VDV Bale ...that isn't necessarily a bad line-up, provided that the midfielders do their defensive duties. Livermore, Parker and Carroll can respectively fill in for the three as well. Still prefer a striker or two to arrive.

Benny tweeted yesterday that he had a dream that Spurs signed a striker who scored loads of goals.....then he woke up. It's even getting to the players.
Wenger has won more trophies with Arsenal, than we've won in the past thirty years, IIRC. He's won more titles with Arsenal than we've won ever. That's over 120 years, again IIRC. It's embarrassing for us to compare with Wenger over trophies. Even more embarrassing is to think that every year Arsenal have finished above us for what 17 years under Wenger? That they've had 15 years of CL compared to our one? The only club it's more embarrassing to compare with is Chelsea, because at least Arsenal have been a bigger and more successful club than us for at least 40 years, the Chelsea situation is a recent scandal. As for Harry I stand by what I say, I don't think it's harsh at all, but I do commend him for getting us CL once.
I'm asking/ begging again for people to remove the Spuds thing from their sigs, I truly hate it. i'm sorry but if they don't go, I'm using the ignore button. It's a disgraceful, denigrating term to use about our great club, and it genuinely offends me. Thanks GH.
We've still got GDS who had a good olympic tournament. i'm hoping and believing he will suit the AVB way of playing.
please log in to view this image Will it be a season for Kane to come of age. Is he ready to play a major role?
We're certainly going to need him and Defoe on Saturday it seems. Not convinced either are ready to lead our line but we don't have anyother choice apart from maybe changing our system and playing both.
