Re: [Merged] Football talk
FAO Spurs fans [if there are any on here]...
Although it doesn't seem like it you've got a bargain.
If Reid shows the form he's shown for us, and Ireland (11 caps 2 goals) if he'd be in the prem he'd be worth 8m by himself. He has excellent control on the ball, great vision, can hit a dead ball, he's not especially pacy but he's hard to get the ball off from a defender's point of view. He's been trying to create everything for us so teams have been putting several players on him, but with other creative players he'll thrive. He played ST for the academy, and can, and has, played CM, LM, or RM. Primarily LM though. Similar kind of player to John Robertson, but not quite the same class, yet.
Dawson- realistically you'll have to wait a while to see his talent. He had glandular fever a couple of years ago, and since then he's had terrible injury problems. Which obviously have affected his form... When he's fully fit he's a great reader of the game, not especially fast so he struggles against pacy forwards, but he's great in the air and an aggressive tackler. He can pass a ball very well [as can most Forest trainees] and has a great eye for goal, he scored a lot in the playoff season pre-glandular fever. He's a bit Ferdinand-esque, obviously not the same level, yet, but comparisons have been made.
You have a great pair of players there.
