Troy Deeney writing for the Sun newspaper says he not surprised by his former teammate’s form for West Ham.
He praised Dawson saying West Ham have gone from strength to strength since his inclusion in December adding he cannot see him losing his place when Angelo Ogbonna returns.
Deeney says Craig is a solid bloke, a family man, a brilliant pro and a defender who simply loves defending something which a rarity in the Premier League these days. Dawson has a lovely pass in him and has always had goals in his locker.
The Watford man says nobody was blaming Craig when his club was relegated from the Premier League.
Deeney says Craig has proved many doubters wrong adding that when you watch West Ham and you see a team unit, with a proper framework, everyone knowing their jobs and working hard for each other.
Within that framework, those West Ham players are able to express themselves but if they don’t put in the hard yards, they don’t get into a David Moyes team.
Just need to get Troy playing for us as well. Great option up front. Knows what he is doing.
COYI
I think only you and me seem to see Troy fitting into the West Ham with ease. Wii oooh or be a great back up option to Antonio and plays very similar to Antonio. Is a grafter and knows where the goal is, exactly what we need
Troy is and always has been a great professional who’s record speaks for itself, however, with the core of this thread suggesting he should be considered as a squad player for us, I think that’s romanticism gone too far and erring on our past knee jerk signings
His article apparently also recommended all clubs gave Nobes a guard of honour next season and that the Davids did a good job at Birmingham where he became a fan through their….. kids for a Quid … ticket sales venture
Al of that does sound as if he’s ‘trying to place himself just right to accept a job as 3rd striker next season if (when) we qualify for Europe.
