Simon Dawkins (Loan)

[citizenDJ]

Apparently he's a free agent in the summer, so we'll be right at the front of the queue of clubs trying to sign him!

Ah, I hope he's brilliant for us. You never know. Best of luck to him and all that.

Cool. I liked The God Delusion.

I was going to say I would be more exited if we'd signed Richard Dawkins.

[not3bad]

But welcome Simon and good luck.

His contract is up this summer, so he will be free to sign if he is any good. Fingers crossed he is a good player.

We have no wingers of any use. Now we have width.

Is he a winger then? Wiki just says attacking midfielder.

How  utterly bizarre this signing is though.  On Sky they said it was to cover for Albrightons absence - how long has Albrighton been out for?!  Does this mean we are going to stick with 4-4-2 finally.

At least it seems he can score. Just imagine, a MF down VP that scores more than 1 goal every few months.

Wiki is right. he is a bit like Nzog, can play wide or center. Decent deadball.

I have sene him play live over here. He is a hard worker but imho a bit slow.. and thats in the MLS.

Looks like a signing for a championship bench to me. I think the club are just planning to lose one or two of our attacking mids next season in the championship and saw an opportunity here with a loan to buy.

At least he can finish.

[myf]

how old is he?

[PeterWithesShin]

how old is he?

25 years and 2 months.

If he had signed with a CB , I would be a lot happier. Its just the wrong position we need for me . Good luck to him anyway .

[aj2k77]

So this guy is potentially N'zogbia's replacement in the Championship next season, scary.

I remember watching lots of goals from Delph on You Tube before we bought him.
