  • It's nice to see we are bringing in players on contracts rather than season long loans.
    Hopefully they'll be decent and we'll get some sort of stability.
  • welcome George 
  • Exactly what we need at the base of the midfield 3, no frills but good energy breaking up play and playing simple passes into the feet of the more advanced players. Will allow Morgan and Gilbey more licence to get forward.

    Think we will be pleasantly surprised with George, also have heard has a very good work rate and reads the game well, that will benefit those around him.

    Welcome to the Valley George Dobson.
    I hope you hit the ground running (important for Cafc) and have a successful and enjoyable time.

    Considering I watched the highlights on Quest and watched both Wimbledon games and maybe one of the Pompey games on Charlton TV i didn't know of Craig MacGillivray or George.

    Stockley was a good signing and don't see any reason Craig and George won't be too.

    3 players in and quite a few needed especially a couple up front if Ronnie is relocated as well as replacing our top part time scorer from last season Chuks.

    Edited Greg to Craig.
    Thanks to Taxi lad who had the knowledge :)
  • isn't Woodyard a Charlton fan? started off in our academy, born Dartford I think.

    Craig not Greg

    If he is a good player, then why did they release him from his contract. Are we  just picking up  other teams duds to make up the numbers on the cheap.
    Yes, of course. That's our team building strategy. We only want other teams duds.

    Nigel Adkins and Steve Gallen were reading the Sunderland fans forum - that convinced them that Dobson would be a key signing.


  • Sunderland fan viewpoint on YouTube:
    Interesting that, cheers for posting - seems a pretty balanced viewpoint, that, encouraging that the guy thinks Dobson basically did pretty well when played in his correct position.

    Stockley we paid a fee for and was banging them in for us last season. 
    MacGillivray turned down a contract from Pompey
    Dobson is the only one that seems to be coming from a club that no longer wanted him

    Stockley a dud?
    MacGillivray turned down a contract from Pompey
    Dobson is the only one that seems to be coming from a club that no longer wanted him
    and was regarded by the fans as their Player of the Year
  • Just because fans at 1 club dont rate a player doesnt mean the player wont do well at another club. Take McGeady for example the bloke could string a pass together for us but blew them away once he went back to Sunderland. The bloke can obviously play or he wouldnt have been through the youth set up's that he has, he is only 23 loads of time to develop, this for me is the ideal type of signing that we should be doing
  • Welcome too the Valley.
  • Went to the same school as Frank Lampard according to Wiki (doesn’t score goals though).

    Dobson seems genuinely buzzing to sign for us. Really nice to see, think he'll be well up for it. 

    The only positive for not being in the Championship is we can sign a lad from the freezing North east who didn't settle in Sunderland (yes the Pope is Catholic) who on all accounts was decent in League1 on loan at the Dons.
    Being at Cafc will be a step up for the lad and that is no disrespect to Wimbledon who have been a beacon of light in their phoenix from the Ashes story.

    Joe Pigott would've told him about the positives about joining Cafc even though we are a different club since his long association with Charlton.

    Not sure the Pigott has too many good things to say about Charlton. 
  • Speaking of pigott, he's still free isn't he? 
  • Quote from NA on OS doesn't exactly inspire confidence in recruiting system this year "he has a reputation as a combative midfield player"...
  • Feels like this guy may have been 2nd choice & we moved in for him after missing out on Jorge Grant earlier in the week.

    Either way, he sounds like the man to add a solid base to our midfield as people say.

    Welcome aboard George.

    Isn’t Grant more attacking rather than a holding midfielder?
