Judging by the amount of flak Bannan has been getting,
if Dawkins is our corner taker from now on, he'll be an instant hit.

For what it's worth (probably not much) on my Football Manager game he went on loan to Rochdale in this window, then went to Crawley on a free. Has spent 4 years in league 1 for various clubs managing 9 goals in 130 games.

How does a youth player get to 25 without playing a game for his club?  That must be a record surely? Frankly speechless but welcome to the nuthouse Simon. I suspect Lambchop will stick you in the youth squad for a few months. If all goes well you should be making your debut before you're 30.

On the Beeb it said he has a history of injury and Tottenham released him in '09 before resigning him in 2011.

People linking to his wondergoals on Youtube, he's scored 14 goals in 2 years in the US amateur league, following his time at Leyton Orient, so frankly, you can stick the highlights up your arse.

No you're right. Writing him off a couple of hours after he's signed is obviously better than hoping he might actually be useful and showing that he has the ability to score a few.

Oh okay, let's sign the top goalscorer from the fucking conference.

Or be enthusiastic about more of Lambert's dead-wood, your call.

I honestly presumed he was a centre-back, defender at least, when I read the news.
The only slightly positive thing I can think is that he must have something going for him if Spurs actually re-signed him a couple of years after releasing him. Injuries must have hindered him a lot. And maybe Lambert realises that if we play with a winger or two we might actually win a game.
If Lambert has had more money to spend and not done it, which apparently was the case in the summer, the axe should fall on him if we get relegated.
