General Melchett 0 Posted August 27, 2010 Can anyone think of a class act like Dion Dublin with Premiership experience who can play centre half and centre forward with a season or two left in the tank. Surely that kind of experience and target man cover for Grant Holt would be invaluable to us this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lincs CR 0 Posted August 27, 2010 I think you may be right, whether it''s a good or a bad thing for the game I have no idea but I really doubt there are many, if any, players out there who fits into the same category as Dion Dublin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey 0 Posted August 27, 2010 If only we had gpt the chance to sign Dublin for the Premiership season, to strike a partnership up front with Hucks or Deano, or to shore up the defence when required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am not sure he has ever played centre half but he has alway been happy to pass the ball about by all accounts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If wed kept Howie.. 207 Posted August 27, 2010 Samba?O''Shea?Varney?Are the only ones I can think of currently playing in the premiership - not sure they are "class acts" but I am sure we couldn''t afford them anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would feel much more confident with the team playing against him rather than him playing for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jacko 0 Posted August 28, 2010 He is pretty rare as a player. You don''t get many pros like him, Ryan Giggs or Paul Scholes. I remember Worthy getting absolutely hammered for not signing him but it turned out to be a supreb legacy. If he had signed Chris Sutton as well, we would have had one hell of a spine in that team.
