If there is another player involved then he would need to agree terms as well - can't see Dons being able to match Dickson's wages for example, they must be pretty low payers.

JackanorySFC Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 I hate MK Dons, disgusting club. Glad to hear we are taking their best player, fingers crossed they won't replace him and fail to get promoted. Scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUCKINGHAMSAINT Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 It's the talk of Stadium:MK! Interestingly enough that the local MK paper is reporting this evening that an unnamed club has had a bid turned down today. That's the way we do business if I'm not mistaken. He would fit the squad profile as I know his personality would sit with NA & co very well. He's no Billy Big-B*****ks in fact he's just the opposite. It all makes sense to me all round.

Bailey Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Deal very close last I heard but not quite over the line just yet. Very happy if it goes through. Sure, I'm biased but the fans will take to him. Very good finisher, young and has bags of potential. Like a young version of Connolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint J 77 Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 I saw his goals at the weekend. Two great goals and one typical goal poacher finish. He looked sharp. What I'd like to know is does he have the pace we are currently lacking from our forward line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Any more than £2m is excessive, otherwise a better value deal than many suggested at £6m or even Sharp at £3.2m. Hope Dickson is not released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 If it weakens the franchise i'm happy. Aside from the Skates they are the only entity in football that genuinely makes my skin crawl. The strike he produced against us to make it 2-0 has stayed long in the memory. Thank heavens for Jonno that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Give it to Ron Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Any more than £2m is excessive, otherwise a better value deal than many suggested at £6m or even Sharp at £3.2m. Hope Dickson is not released. Not as excessive as 12m for a 17 year old league one striker that a manager doesnt trust for a 5 minute run out when 3-1 up and have 2 away goals! Does it really matter how much it costs if its 1 or 2 million over the odds if A) his goals keep us up 2) Gets us to play offs 3 ) beat the Skates?

Stattmeister Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Their forum talks of seaborne/barney(!) going t'other way? I know it's only speculative, but nonetheless. I'd be less enthused with this move if any core squad players go. They can have someone like Holmes if they fancy it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Seem to remember he scored a cracker from outside the box against us at ours last year. My recollection was in the box, after defenders/midfield allowed him too much time/space and it took a deflection.

Saint J 77 Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq_u3CBhrUM Not quite outside the box but a good finish, I think KD could have done better stopping it though maybe.

I'd be less enthused with this move if any core squad players go. They can have someone like Holmes if they fancy it? If Seaborne went then we would definitely need another CB. Can't see it being Barney except on loan coz of his court case. Surely MK Dons wouldn't take a player at risk of jail time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Seaborne wouldn't be going, he is currently a first choice CB. It'll be either Dickson or Barnard........ Most likely Dickson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Rooney Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 If we do sign him I would be more than happy with it. Sam Baldock and a centre back before deadline would really give us a strong squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not want to release either at this stage frankly. LB remains a cult hero,and his case aside, I think he can make an impact still. Dickson has as much to offer as Harding, moreso going forward,and could play LM if required. Won't they take Holmes and Forecast ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickson has as much to offer as Harding, moreso going forward,and could play LM if required. Won't they take Holmes and Forecast ? Now there's a plan we could all appreciate! Well, with Forecast anyway. As someone who sits firmly on the 'Harding' side of the LB debate, I personally feel it would be kinder to send Dickson to a club where he could get regular football without playing potentially third fiddle after the two Dans.

beatlesaint Posted 25 August, 2011 Share Posted 25 August, 2011 Won't they take Holmes and Forecast ? Holmes appears to be ahead of Dickson for left midfield and we all know that no professional club would even look at Forecast......unless like Pulis he has a famous father who could loan them a decent player from his club for looking after the kid :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
