Would we take £170k for Dickinson??

[Barrel of Fun]

I think he is a good player, but his attitude stunk and the sickie and Sun article pushed him out the door. Don't mess with Gus. From this video, it appears that he used to be a lot quicker and fitter. The video also tells you that he is a potential goal poacher and rugby, football and Northern climates do not help the pitch.

I don't agree, they loaned him out. The club who loaned him haven't really played him much. I think he'll probably leave them in the summer as it is anyway, and we paid atleast £300,000 for Dickinson so accepting just over half a year later would be daft business, without getting someone else in return. Maybe it's a bit ambitious to hope for Boyd, but it's not unrealistic I don't think.

Because he refused to sign a new contract. (I think.)

That was Division 4, but still, he showed he can get inside the 6 yard box, which he fails to do time and time again when he played for us.

He turned up to the dinner on Monday night, and the players seem to really get on with him. He just needs to sort himself out and show he wants actually play football instead of pissing about on the coast

Nobody who has seen this video can doubt that he can score us 20+ goals in league 1 and get us promoted

I'd take it, he doesn't seem the kind of player who Poyet would use regularly in terms of him being a more physical striker rather than a technical one.

If that's the case, best he moves on and frees up money for Poyet to get someone he's going to make better use of.

Physical striker?! Liam Dickinson is anything but a physical striker!

 

[Marshy]

Hard to beleive its the same player to be honest.

Ironically the role that suits Dickinson best, and the one that Gannon used him in successfully both at Stockport and P'boro was as the lone striker in a 4-5-1 formation.

That is VERY annoying watching that video as in nearly every single clip he is BURSTING into the 6 yard box and getting little tap ins, he NEVER does that for us.

 

[Mellotron]

Definitely take £170k for him.

Boyd signed for Forest didn't he?

Only on loan (6 months i believe). I think that was when there was interest from premier/upper championship clubs, and probably went out on loan to prove a point. Would'nt be at all suprised if forest have a future fee agreed, where they can sign him at any point of the loan period.
As for swapping Dickinson for Boyd, not a cat in hells chance! With Barry Fry's hilarious valuations of players too, it would take a hell of a lot of cash plus dickinson.

He was obviously quite good for Stockport in DIVISION FOUR (which some people seem to be forgetting time and time again) but I would happily pay £170,000 myself to not have to ever see that cumbersome, diving, lazy, first-touch-of-a-baby-elephant, unable-to-win-a-header-despite-being-9ft, useless twat in a Brighton shirt ever again.

Whatever he did elsewhere, he was f***ing appalling for us. He was like a bad version of Bas Savage.

I feel bad saying all this because he's seem like a nice lad and his Mum apparently reads NSC.... but, Mrs Dickinson, for all his qualities as a person you're lad is ruddy terrible at football. For Brighton, anyway.

Snap there hand off!

Forward the money to my account, and I reckon I can get someone to arrange that...

Is there really that much of a gulf between the divisions?

There are plenty of examples of players scoring regularly and making the step up and scoring regularly.

These are just some recent ones (league games only).

Grant Holt - L2 Rochdale (0.45), Shrews (0.47); L1 Norwich (0.63)
Glenn Murray - L2 Rochdale (0.53); L1 Brighton (0.49)
C Mackail-Smith - L2 Peterboro (0.33); L2 Peterboro (0.5)
Simeon Jackson - L2 Gills (0.38); L1 (0.35)

(0.xx) = Goal Ratio

 

[Acker79]

Depends how much we really paid for him.

I'm on to it.....

 

[bhaexpress]

We should hang on to him and get some regular playing time for him.

 

[ewe2]

£170,000 plus sell on !

 

[murraymint]

i think there is a good player there, if he can get his head right. It was frustrating watching him because he so often flattered to deceive. The highlights DVD from the first part of the season shows he was often involved in goals with assists etc and did put some away quite well. Dont think Slade ran a very discplined operation and he exploited that. If Poyet could get him focused and hungry to play in a winning team I think he could be an asset because he can be a handful and is unlike other players we have. I just don't think it'll happen...

The fella in that video looks BRILLIANT. We should have signed THAT Liam Dickinson.
