gissing canary 2 Posted January 18, 2009 Anyone else see match of the day 2?I was shocked when I saw him back in the Fulham line up as I like Roy Hodgson and couldnt believe he was good enough and there it was classic Dickson, passes to the opposition, sloppy and gives away a goal! Thats the guy I remember! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaiman 0 Posted January 18, 2009 i couldn''t stop laughing when i saw that, that pass was so lazy and gave away possesion so cheaply, like you say classic dickson, although did have some good moments! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sheffield uni Canary 0 Posted January 18, 2009 still don''t know how we managed to flog him off to sunderland didn''t we get around £1m for him??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flinty 0 Posted January 18, 2009 that did make me laugh... although he did alright for uswas pretty happy with the £1.5m we got - not that it went to much use!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 448 Posted January 19, 2009 Dickson Etuhu ? I thought he had a career threatening injury. Always thought at 6''2" and built like a brick ''outhouse'' he should & could have become a great midfielder but his head was never right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuglestad 0 Posted January 19, 2009 He was awful for us. I still find it incredible people were complaining when we got 1.5m for him. A terrible player, and he didn''t put the effort in. The perfect example of who to boo if people really have to. How people could boo Hoosey and not Dickson I find incredible. At least Hoose put the effort in.

Chewbacca 0 Posted January 19, 2009 I watched the game with a West Ham supporting mate and mentioned how at Man City he was referred to as ''Dickson Where-Are You'' although he then had a purple patch in the game and I commented how that happened about once every 4 games whilst he played for us... he then gifted the ball to West Ham ''Ah, that''s the Dickson I remember!'' I said, West Ham then scored as a result - ''Yep that''s defintely the Dickson we had''!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huh?! 0 Posted January 19, 2009 I watched the whole game. I didn''t notice anything different about him from when he was here. No enthusiasm for the team. Balls were going near him and he wasn''t even busting a gut to get them even though they were only a few yards wide of him. Awful game yesterday. Bullard didn''t play, which would suggest injury?? That may be why he was in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JJ 0 Posted January 19, 2009 He was an incredibly frustrating player for us. Had his good days (Chelsea away) and had some shockers too. Not the worst player ever to play for us, but the thought of Etuhu, Hughes and Robinson playing in the middle together still makes me shudder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungCanary 0 Posted January 19, 2009 That was shocking...but to be fair to the lad he did get us some vital goals! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GJP 77 Posted January 19, 2009 Should be a dominant powerhouse midfielder but it''s never quite happened.Still, I guess the fact he''s been at a Premier League club last season and this season shows he can''t be as bad some would suggest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted January 19, 2009 I don''t think I''ll ever get over the fact the lazy oath had a clause inserted into his Norwich contract stating that he could leave if a club bid £1.5M for him and that a club actually thought he was worth that! I''d of been happy with getting the money back that we paid for him! He could do it when he felt like it EG, the Chelsea FA cup game for instance but 10 good games a year if your lucky isn''t good value for money! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DDD In The Fine City 1 Posted January 19, 2009 I remember last season when he was at Sunderland, in the news of the world it had the player ratings for the match, he scored a 4 with "Roy Keane likes a big man in the middle of the field, shame this one''s rubbish" lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Lamberts Disciple 0 Posted January 19, 2009 [quote user="bradley11"]Cant be doing that bad or he wouldnt be playing in the premiership....[/quote]No, he''s a textbook example of how you can still become a top flight footballer in this country simply by being "big and strong" or having "a good engine", despite possessing the touch, skill and vision of a lobotomised mollusc.
