Very much a surprise to me this one. I guess we can safely assume that the rumours of Ledley's physical inability to play more than one game a fortnight are indeed sound.
Can't help feeling for Dawson and, dare I say it, Kaboul. With King alongside him Dawson looks like a battling, rugged, determined, wholehearted centre-half, unafraid to put his head in where it hurts. Without King he looks like an error prone non-footballer. Still, you can't doubt his commitment and effort. And anyway, I think it says more about King's world classness than Dawson's lack of world classness.
Although this is something of a digression, is it me or is Dawson the ruler of giving unnecessary free kicks away? Especially when the opposing player has his back to goal?
They say that some things never change, and the requirement of every Spurs squad to contain at least one terminally injured player is one of them. Most clubs that have players absent through injury for long periods of time actually KNOW whats wrong with them. Be it broken legs, muscle tears or madness (naming no names). We have players that spend a month on the sidelines with, and here i quote Senor Ramos, "...problems in the head".
That was all a bit disjointed. When did this turn into a scathing attack on Dawson? I actually quite like Dawson. Better not get me started on Chimbonda...
Anyway, although i think its a lot of money on someone so prone to injury and at 28 is getting no younger, there is no doubting the boys class, even with a haircut like the missus'.
One last thought. Although I personally have no time for racism, perhaps a few choice words from Woodgate in Chimbos ear could hasten the mercenaries departure? See, bigotry doesn't always have to be bad...
