CandH Exclusive By Hughie Southon
Craig Dawson is unlikely to be seen in the Hammers first team colours for some time to come.
David Moyes failed to give any explanation for his absence from the team beaten last weekend at Wolves insisting he wasn’t injured.
However, Claret and Hugh can reveal that the central defender is not training at Rush Green given his personal issues.
Instead he is remaining at home in the north and hoping he will be able to get the move to Wolves whom, we have learned, have offered a fee of £3 million for the 32 year old who is out of contract at the end of the season.
The Hammers are now faced with a difficult decision on whether to accept the fee from a club who currently represent relegation rivals to the Hammers.
Dawson is keen to make the move it allows him to commute to his home in the north of England,
I don’t understand – Dawson has done great for us, he’s never let us down in so much as he always gives whatever he can to the cause. All that said, he isn’t exactly the future, so when we’re talking such relatively low sums of cash, and he needs to move for family reasons (he’s not exactly a diva) why not just let him go and do the right thing by him.
I know we need cover, but surely we can figure something out before the window closes, or at the very least, we have some youth players knocking on the door who are desperate for a chance. Move on WH and Moyes, and start getting decisive.
