Watford fans :lol:
Don’t worry mate that lot wouldn’t know their arse from their fucking elbows
I'd suggest they know their players a lot better than we do and are in a far better position to judge than us. West Ham fans are forever defending Declan Rice from fans of other clubs who reckon he's only just about bang average. Since our fans are the one who watch him week in week out then obviously their opinion is the one that matters.

Same with Watford and Dawson. They're the ones who know the player and his abilities the best and when the majority of them are saying he's utter dog shit, I tend to believe them. Dawson is a fucking horrible, horrible signing. It's up there with Relegation Roger and Roberto.

Sour grapes, they had the fucking hump with him wanting to leave after their relegation simple as that.
He will do a job for us when called on no doubt about that.
Better in the air than fucking Diop will ever be.

To be fair, they said the same about Doucoure at the end of last season and while Dawson is coming as a backup and as a mentor to the kids, I believe Doucoure is in Everton's first team.

All fans are a little biased when a player leaves.

Can't understand all the fuss about Dawson tbh. He hasn't been signed as a first choice player, at least I assume he hasn't, but as cover. In effect a replacement for Duffy who it appears was our first choice. Whenever I've seen Dawson he's looked adequate, no better and no worse than the average journeymen plying their trade. Given the choice of shelling out £30 million for Tarkowski, who at that price would have commanded a first team slot, whether worthy of one or not, or taking Dawson for a season whilst our young hopefuls gain , hopefully, some decent experience, I'd go for Dawson every time. Tbh I've probably seen as much of him as I have of Tarkowski and neither strikes me as an upgrade on the main 3 CDs on our books at present.

Exactly my opinion to be honest.

Fuck me, you went back and dug that up?

Yes he is doing well, but let’s face it

He is an average pl defender nothing more.

He is. But so is Tarkowski who, apparently, we were prepared to spend big money on. And don’t get me started on Maguire who cost considerably more. :lol: :lol: :lol:

In all honesty I think some of our fans judge a player by the size oh his transfer fee. We all remember. Andy Carroll, we want you to stay. :lol:

Maybe,but there is a quality he has that we have been missing for a while.

Organisation.

He knows how to marshal a defence.Watch him..Always talking to the other defenders around him.He may not be a Van Dyke,but his one of the most valued central defenders we have had at the club for a while.

Diop was a bit shaky at the start,but he improved has the game went on..No coincidence.

To be fair I could have quoted quite a few on here!

Average defender though? How many 'good players have better stats than him?

As Tel says, some judge a player by the size of his transfer fee, but some judge by other fans opinions, and some judge it on the performances they see
