George Dobson



Photo by Ian Horrocks/Sunderland AFC via Getty Images Whilst Sunderland and Walsall declared the fee to sign 21-year old midfielder George Dobson as ‘undisclosed’, an ITK poster on a Saddlers forum has alleged that a rather meagre sum was paid in order to secure the former West Ham man’s services. The initial murmurings a number of weeks ago...

I d love to see a midfield 3 of O9, this Dobson kid and Embleton. 3 young lads full of enthusiasm. The squad is a bit top heavy in this department though.
Pretty certain ya going to get your wish .The 5 across midfield will be o9 dobbo granty emmbo hume .Four young athletic and granty to pull strings
 
For the record, I haven’t got a clue whether he is good, bad or indifferent. He looks like all his Christmas’s have come true, keen, excited and committed so I’m in. To Captain a team and play 100 professional games before you are 22 years old suggests that he has something.

Run through brick walls George and the supporters will love you. Welcome on board.

I hope that in 100 league games time we are back in the Premier League and you have proven all doubters wrong as you lead the team out against one of your former clubs.

Ha’way the Lads.....
 
He isn't 7 foot nowt, doesn't run like Linford Christie and didn't cost 10M so eez shite.
:lol::lol::lol: spot on marra ,although he is on way to 7ft at 6ft 2 ,runs like mo Farrah and cost next to nowt though .So aye probs poor ………………...GET OUT SEB YA BLOODY FREEBIE WE WANT 10MIL RODWELL
 
I don’t disagree with that first bit either, there aren’t many on here qualifier to say any of our new signings are either brilliant or shit.

Dobson is miles better than Robson on paper mind, he’s played at a much higher level and captained a senior team already. Whether he’ll be much better in reality, who knows.

Can't say I agree with the second part. Dobson has played league one football almost his entire career apart from a trip to Holland where he was dropped after 5 games and made to play with the reserves.

Robson has played championship and Scottish premiership football.

So would like to know how Dobson is miles better on paper?

Strange, my Walsall supporting mate reckons he played well last season, and gives 100% every game.
Again people wanking over someone that gives 100% every game. We have plenty of those at the minute, it's that little bit of class that we need right now.

Ridiculous comment

Maybe we should just continue sign over the hill has beens who don't give a fuck looking for a payday.

This lad has talent and maturity for his age. Been at Arsenal and West Ham and has something to prove.
Exactly the kind of signing we should be making.

This board has given up talking football and is full of Social Media knackas making smart ares comments hoping they'll get loads of likes

Having froze my bollocks off over at eppleton for a few seasons ,I don't think robson and class are linked .However a season at Dundee may have improved him fingers crossed

“Entire career” - he’s f***ing 21 man!

Robson played 9 games in the championship for a god awful team (and was played out of desperation, he hardly shone) and has a total of 22 senior appearances at the age of 22. He also couldn’t get near our team last season hence being loaned out.

At the age of 21 Dobson has played 92 senior games and captained his side.

In my opinion, he looks a lot better on paper but I’m happy for others to have differing opinions.

I’m not sure anyone is wanking, most sensible people will be waiting to see him play.
 
Some ITK on the Walsall board reckons we signed him for 200K 100K up front then a 100K add on's, brilliant business For SAFC if that's true mind, shite for Walsall though.

Robson probably doesn't have that bit class, but we're not signing him and paying for him out of a limited budget. He's already here, so might as well try him out, we still have Power, McGeough, Leadbitter, O'Nien, Honeyman who can all play CM should it not work out. We really don't need another.
