Simon Dawkins (Loan)

[Dante Lavelli]

What was the actual point of this signing? We're paying Spurs and he's not even making the bench. Why do the Villa feel they have a duty to take on Spurs rejects( Walker aside)  Annoying

I thought he was on the bench yesterday, but could be wrong.
I guess he was signed to cover an option Lambert thought we needed.  It's not exactly costing us much so I see no dramas.

He's clearly not Premier League material so why waste what little cash we have on him.

[PaulTheVillan]

I can't imagine we're paying Spurs much at all.

I've more concern with Ireland. He needs to be shipped out.

But we're paying Dawkins a salary. That's cash that could have gone on a centreback.
Some bizarre decisions at Villa this season.

I would imagine Dawkins is on a very low salary. I dread to think what Centre Back we could have got for that.

Ada little bit more and perhaps we could have got a decent one.
We must be seriously skint.

[AlwaysAVFC]

He was probably a relatively cheap gamble/cover, wasn't he on £32k a year in the US so being the premier league he's probably increased that a fair bit but its going to be relatively small wages.

Dawkins himself has probably taken more of a gamble, an offer of a better deal in US and now looks like he won't make an impression here so could well be left without a club soon (no idea how long his spurs contract is?)

Well, he was on the bench yesterday.
I have much more concern about having to pay that little scrote Ireland his £60k a week or whatever he's on.

Lerner shouldn't have signed him then

He looked o.k to me against West ham but lost against Arsenal and City.

If that's the case he'll be on peanuts by premier league standards so this is a non-issue.

MON started the deal, Lerner finished it off. At the time it looked like a sound bit of business. Unfortunately no one could have predicted what 4 different managers (including the Newcastle loan) have since discovered, that he is a little scrote.

Most people on here probably earned more than the $50,000 Dawkins picked up last season. I wouldn't worry about his wages.

[Louzie0]

If PL rates him I have no problem with him. 
PL rules.
