General Rob Dickie transfer

[stokeu]

So where do you think he will end up? Leeds rumoured to be ready to pay him £50k a week. Southampton and Burnley also sniffing around. https://www-footballinsider247-com....mpton-to-sign-dickie-after-scouts-blown-away/

I would think he'll go straight to a newly promoted or lower level Premiership club. He's much better (and younger) than Nelson. Slight lack of pace, but very good positional. Best centre half we have had since Matt Elliott (or Ian McGuckin, obviously). Would be very surprised if he went to a Championship club. If he goes to Burnley, I would put money on him being in the England squad in 18 months time.

That 50k a week reference is for another player

Much rubbing of hands in anticipation of accepting the first offer to come in rather than waste time in a bidding war !

Hopefully he can help us up a level. We won’t be able to compete with £50K a week. If he does go I hope there’s a bidding war. I’d hope we can get £5 million plus but replacing him will be a challenge

Atkinson is going to be better than Dickie, as is Moore. We have already brought in replacements. Also, dont forget Nico Jones...

Last season this forum was full of concern that we were going to fall apart without Nelson. Well, Dickie certainly stepped up. Personally I think Elliott Moore will be even better next season than Dickie has been : he's a much steadier player who doesn't make quite so many howlers. Don't panic folk, there is succession in place.

 

[LeftSideBoy]

Have a look at this. He looks ridiculously good. Like a Dickie.5. @Shosho providing the goods, yet again!

Are you sure? He’s been caught out badly a few times this season, and skinned for Shrewsbury!s first

 

[Robie]

I'm not sure what I expected from a YouTube compilation of a defender but as bizarre YouTube player compilations go, that one took the biscuit!

Wilder will be interested, I imagine.

Posted the wrong link mate. This is the right one: https://yellowsforum.co.uk/threads/rob-dickie-transfer.3711/post-245614

 

[Oldman159]

Spurs could certainly use him....

 

[dabigfella]

Of course there is the (slight) possibility that we get into the Championship and he is persuaded to stay.

I hope that you are right but would doubt it.
It looks like Dickie will be PL player next season.
He has been immense for us this season. So Atkinson will play in the PL? Moore as well?

 

[ZeroTheHero]

I haven't seen Atkinson yet, but Moore is looking bloody good (and improving), and left sided defenders are at a premium - so it's far from impossible. Dickie is of course an excellent player, but I wonder if his lack of pace (and acceleration) would be shown up in the Prem?

 

[Ox in the Box]

Personally, I hope that if he does go that he joins a side that play good football and don’t spend 90 minutes defending their own 18 yard box. The talent he’s shown in carrying the ball and his range of passing this year would be wasted in a defensive side. Would have my well wishes too as he has stepped up to the plate this year and has more than contributed to an enjoyable season.

Never certain, but Matt Elliott wasn't quick either.

Rob Dickie needs to spank one in from 35 yards at some northern outpost to be in Elliott’s class.

 

[gingerox]

Was an article from the same website about a week back about Leeds' interest in Brannagan, wonder if we could see a Baptiste/Fosu like deal for Brannagan/Dickie

Redirect Notice

Would be very surprised if we got the £5mil mentioned for Branngan alone!

Moore has shown that he is more than capable, this season. At times out performing Dickie. Moore is younger and comes from a higher pedigree than Dickie so yes, I am sure. Atkinson (if you have seen any of his clips) is cut from the same cloth as the afformentioned. I wont put pressure on him at this point but in terms of potential, he is right up there.

I am not sure that from.video clips you can suggest that Atkinson will play in the PL!
If it was that obvious other clubs would have taken him?
Moore has been good no doubt, but over the season Dickie has been our best defender by a distance.
It appears that a number of PL clubs (including Leeds who look as if they should fo it) rate Dickie and he will probably join a PL club.
I hope that MoorevandAtkinson follow but it is very early on that front

 

[Foley]

Dickie was excellent v Man City and West Ham.
Regarding his speed, Matt Elliott was slow ( sent off after being outpaced by a Wycombe player)
Harry Maguire is slow, I have read.

Meaningless contradiction

Yup - essentially come down to the coaching. Obviously has the attributes but highlights why others maybe didn’t take the gamble.

It’s what we have to do though if losing 4mill this year and current debts up to 17mill

That reads to me as:

Future star but young and prone to mistakes due to inexperience. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.

What else would you expect if taking a player out of non league? With today’s accounts you won’t sign a ready made star - we have to create them. The perfectly sensible thing to do
