Was told we have met all terms that he wanted. Have now offered a 3 year deal and met the wage demand. Guess it is down to if he wants to still be here with the mess the club is in31

If that’s the case, I think he’ll stay, regardless of the mess the club is in.jbaker said:Was told we have met all terms that he wanted. Have now offered a 3 year deal and met the wage demand. Guess it is down to if he wants to still be here with the mess the club is in7 -
If we assume the above is correct and his agent leaked the Hungarian rumours then you have to say that’s good work from his agent4

If you are basing this statement on that FootballLeagueWorld tweet, it has no credibility. How could it get “an exclusive”ahead of Cawley or Mendez? And as others have said, why sign it. Just closes off his options. Nice for his agent though, he can splurge on a summer holiday.Crusty54 said:
He’s already signed a pre contract deal to join them on 1st July. Charlton could opt to sell him him before next week.Chunes said:Just can't see it happening unless they've offered him silly money.3 -
My dear @Southbank. Germany has beautiful countryside. I would say it has “pro family policies” . Cost of living, well if he went to, lets say Hansa Rostock in B2 (example cos I know that area pretty well) probably 30% less than London. Can you point me to the interview with Harry Kane where he said “ well German was a no-brainer for me because of its beautiful countryside and pro-family policies”?🤣🤣Southbank said:
Hungary has some beautiful countryside. Cost of living about half here. Pro family government policies. His new club is 50m drive from Budapest.WhenIwasLittleBoy said:

it'll be like home from home for him thenChris_from_Sidcup said:
The side after him (Fehervar) have an average league crowd of less than 4k this season, so surely they don't have tons of money.Chunes said:Just can't see it happening unless they've offered him silly money.7 -
Is he staying because Appleton is gone?

Except George Dobson dosent play for spurs he plays for a club that may well be relegated into league two (Granted I don’t think we will but there’s a chance). Not sure if you’ve seen that league but bar a few clubs the state of league two is direPragueAddick said:

Well you’ve made the general argument as to why he might want to leave,as many have, and of course I accept he might be ready to do so. My point is “Hungary”. It’s nonsense. If his agent is so crap he can’t get him a decent offer here, he should (suitably politely) ask Curbs for tips on how to present his strengths.AberystwythAddick said:

Delighted if it is true that the decision makers have finally decided to offer Dobson what he is worth, a vital player for us who will only improve being surrounded by hopefully more of a first eleven with his desire and ability to drag us up the table.8

The club he is joining.LargeAddick said:0 -
Gutted if he leaves. Gives 100% every game, is fit, injury free (fingers crossed). He has also developed his game with us. I'm hoping he will sign and then improve with us again. Just need better players around him, and a decent fella in charge

Anyone who want's him gone needs to give their head a wobble and there are plenty of morons on the Facebook group who are saying that.
Be careful what you wish for as he's been our best player for the last three years regardless of the muppets around him.

The latest copy of the excellent magazine Football Weekends has got an article by some bloke who visited Budapest twice to watch some games.
As far as I can see, the crowds at those games appeared to be around about 4 or 5000.
If that is how George wants to spend his next couple of years, good luck to him!
(PS If we get relegated, and he did stay, he would be doing the same here!)

I think his lack of positional discipline for a defensive midfielder has, at times, made other around him look worse than they are.Bedsaddick said:Anyone who want's him gone needs to give their head a wobble and there are plenty of morons on the Facebook group who are saying that.
Be careful what you wish for as he's been our best player for the last three years regardless of the muppets around him.I don't know if I can do three more years of headless chicken football in our midfield but no doubt it'd be a very popular contract renewal with the wider fanbase. I'm willing to stick my neck out and say, whether he's here or elsewhere, Dobson won't be an integral part of the team when we finally manage to get promoted out of this league.5 -
Maybe, I know what you mean, but one big positive with Dobson is he clearly works hard to improve his game. With better players around him, a good manager and coaching team I wouldn’t write off him improving that part of his game.Callumcafc said:

We still haven’t got to the point where we have better players than him who are also consistent and reliable.4 -
I have similar reservations about his positioning but I think a lot of that is because of how weak the midfield around him has been. Pop him in a double pivot with Coventry and someone like Camara in front of him and I think he can definitely be part of a top end L1 teamCallumcafc said:

I just hopethat (assuming he's still here) that the new gaffer quickly works out that he's definately not a No8.0

And that is the problem now. Coventry is in Dobbo's position. I am not sure why we would want to pay Dobson a big wedge to be a reserve. He really is not an 8, and neither is Coventry.tangoflash said:I just hopethat (assuming he's still here) that the new gaffer quickly works out that he's definately not a No8.0 -

Dobson & Coventry can play in the same team but we are also allowed to have a decent squad and not just a first eleven.
Small team mindset to accept having to sell a star to gain another one.8 -
To accommodate both, you play a 3-5-2 with 2 x CDMs, a mobile CAM and two up and down right and left sided players/wing backs. If one CDM springs forward the other marshals the back 3. Point being both can be accommodated without needing to play them in unfamiliar or ineffective positions. No need for a UEFA Pro licence to sort, so let’s see how savvy our interims are…?Southbank said:

Dob & Cov, can play in the same team, they both have their own styles of play and could very much compliment each other, this is where a good coach who knows what he is doing can quickly sort out over a few games! Dobson deserves the reward of a decent contract and is young enough if coached the right way!
The midfield if it clicks could be very good, but let them get us safe and do whatever it takes, these players showed some class on Tuesday by applauding the die-hards, and rightfully we applaud them back!
It's been a massive week for some and some of these kids need a manager who can give them a touch of the Jurgen Klopps and I believe this will inspire them, don't for the Dobbo's and May of this world need the same, good luck to the new messiah when he arrives!
Ps Give Dobbo what it takes👍4 -
Rumour he's off15

If he is going, absolutely no way we should let him go in this window. 4 points off relegation you don't let a 100% player like Dobbo go.8
