Don't think Dawson is any better than what we already have. Always said we wou!d not have signed Guedes if we had got Nunez first, looks like we will be making a big loss on him.

My mate is West Ham and he’s gutted he’s going, he said since they turned it around he’s been their best centre back by far, scores from set pieces as well. If he plays like he’s played for them the last two seasons then he is 100% good enough for us.

Dawson at £3m would be an absolute steal! If you don't believe me ask a WHU fan! Yes he's a short term option BUT at £3m (less than many loans cost these days) that's all he needs to be. I'd say its great business!
In fairness, I understand why you say he's not better than what we've got; but that's not really the point. Ya see, the problem is for some reason (only known to Jeff) we pretty much GAVE away ALL of our CBs with any REAL experience last window. I would wager that he has more Prem caps than our current defence collectively! In terms of technical ability your probs right, cause I doubt he's as good as Kilman or Collins, technically (MUCH better than both in the air mind).
Its also worth mentioning he's worn the armband at a few clubs and can anyone honestly say that our back line doesn't need a loud voice right now?
Is he a world class signing no, is he perfect for one decent season to help us stay clear definetly! Especially at just £3m!

Really hope the optimism about Dawson is justified.
Just have that niggling doubt, surely WH would not release him if they think he could do the same relegation avoidance job for them?

Hi All, Dawson’s move is a two way problem sorted. He wants to move back to the Midlands to be near family and Wolves desperately need a cool experienced head in the final months of the season. The transfer cost as someone mentioned earlier is as a loan payment would be and I guess wages would not be an issue. My in laws are Hammers fans living in the south and they say Dawson is a great pro and always gives 100%. I’m happy with that.

All good posts - similar thread on Rumours page.
For £3m he is a steal and may well play a major role in keeping us up - worth a fair bit more than £3m.
Also a great role model for Collins and, (if he doesn't go out on loan), Gomes.
BB - I already made the point on the rumours page re his technical ability but completely agree with all comments re ability, leadership and his motivation.
Can only assume WH are being decent with him allowing him to leave for Wolves as clearly Rugeley makes a fair point. They do however have a v large squad so it may be not such a big issue for them as it was for us letting Coady go!

Ince, Moutinho, Irwin performed well for a few years at the end of their careers, as did Emlyn Hughes and Ally Robertson for a shorter period before that. Let's see.
