 I did mention him at the start of the thread .RedRobin said:A name that hasn’t been mentioned is George Dobson. Was at Wimbledon last season and has been released by Sunderland. Good young defensive midfielder, Wimbledon have offered him a deal but think he’s going elsewhere.
 Was impressed when he played for Walsall and I think it is significant that Wimbledon's form improved after he signed .1

 Bowyer was after him in the January window but he opted to see out the season with Wigan. He was good in the game at the DW, caused us all sorts of problems.Addicks59 said:Solomon-otabor anybody has been linked.4

            Very good player at this level, would take that0

 Isn’t that called tactics? And it worked, he was in pratleys pocket. If Fraser was that good he should have found a way to show his ability no matter what shouldn’t he?ElliotCAFC said:1

            I think it was @SoundAsa£ that said we were intrested in him in March0

 14 goals and 6 assists from midfield in the league.. I would say he did okay.RonnieMoore said:12

 Yes I was eluding to the same point. He was very good in that game, but disappeared in the second game. Not saying he’s a bad player.RonnieMoore said:0

 Absolutely, for the record I’m not saying Fraser is a bad player. I wouldn’t be unhappy to see him play for us, but I wouldn’t be expecting a world beater either!, just hoping😜 not that we should need world beaters in league 1.EricBanterna said:

 I think you're underestimating Pratley here Paul. Pratters would of relished that challenge to man mark him out the game, using all his tricks, guile and vast experience to nullify him. There wouldn't be any league 1 midfielders who'd beat DP in that scenario.paulfox said:

 Yes Oz that was my point really, the onus was on Fraser to be able to produce with pratley hounding him. Pratley was superb that night so I was definitely not underestimating his play.ozaddick said:

 Would not worry to much about Wigan if this is the level of player there getting

 Also, while we're policing grammar; incorrect use of hyphens. You should have gone for, 'Just no. Happy to have the discussion, depends how bored you are.'
 I'll tell you what a bad education is. It is one that makes the student think that spelling is more important than meaning and that literacy is an indicator of intelligence.11

            Was hoping we’d put in a cheeky offer for Kane but after his last two performances for England, we should look elsewhere.4

 I wouldn’t be happy with Sterling either.Macronate said:Was hoping we’d put in a cheeky offer for Kane but after his last two performances for England, we should look elsewhere.1

 Players like Sterling need players around them with movement and who make runs. It’s about quick passing in tight positions. Yesterday England had no movement apart from Foden and Mount. On that basis we should only be interested in both of them.Todds_right_hook said:

 As someone who recruited for many years, literacy was an important factor in selecting candidates, it was hard to access a candidates skills if they didn't pass the initial grading of the application forms and get invited to an interview.Wheresmeticket? said:AddicksAddict said:
