fictionalemu, err no we didn't. Do you think he'd still be there if we wanted shot? An offer came in that was accepted as Daws was not going to be first choice CB but the choice was left entirely with him. Hardly pushing him out the door is it.....

Love it that AVB is pleased that Dawson 'agreed to stay with us'. Surely, as the article says, it was actually the case that the club were trying to push him out of the door but he refused to go

I think Daws is probably thinking the same thing! Glad we kept him, agree he's never going to be world class but is very committed and will always put himself in the way.

Yeah I like Dawson - exactly the type of no nonsense defender that Arsenal could do with.

Agreed on AVB's comments............and generally hes been very sensible and measured in his comments to the media. I think he learned a lot from his time at Chelsea.

Far play to AVB for admitting a mistake in judgement, but it also speaks volumes about Michael Dawson's character too. Daws isn't world class but he is still an excellent good defender who could walk into a lot of sides. The fact he wanted to stay and fight for his place is commendable and he should be held up as an example to others who decide to chase the $$$ when they don't start every week.

m starting to think Roman may never actually be happy at the top level. If he wants all conquering fancy football I wonder if he'd be better off buying a lower division side then paying outlandish salaries to attract high caliber players too good for the division.

afa has to be favourite for the Everton job now, surely :) He'll realise his ambition to live and work on Merseyside again, get the best out of whoever plays for them, maybe win some cups and be thoroughly loathed by the toffee fans. What's not to like? Go ead, Ken, gimajob!
