I recently made a topic stating how I thought Dawson was world class and our best defender after King. http://www.ja606.co.uk/articles/viewArticle/79306
I got absolutely ridiculed, I just hope now a few of you can admit you were wrong, and Dawson is indeed a top player and better than Kaboul.
To all of you who wrote off Dawson

why not right now ?
Thierry Henry said he is the best defender he has ever faced.. look at our record when he plays
Fully fit he could walk into any team and if he had never had this knee problem he would of been England captain yrs ago

vdvisgod always does these articles.
Any critique of a player he likes equates to the "ridiculed" blah blah.
Objectively critiquing the strengths and weaknesses of all squad players is the sign of a reasonable supporter.
If you don't want/like that, G00n/Pooool 606 are your friends.

Exactly!
But he is not fully fit, thats my point, he is still a TOP player, but surely if someone is World Class they need to be able to perform every week, sadly Ledley cant do this

Both good players, would be happy to see them as our CB pairing in a year or two (unless we buy someone better or caulker develops rapidly)
If I'm forced to pick one as being better then I'd pick kaboul, and I think there is still room for improvement

dont think anyone ridiculed him. i happen to think he is very overated and lost without king beside him.
he is a good player.. but not good enough to take you on a title challenge or to a title.. which are the aspirations we should have. .
he will always give you his all and so i like him in that regard, but as a top top draw cb? no, not for me.

Imagine a fully fit King and Puyol at CB.
That would be an awesome pairing
