The official "Dobbie to Palace" thread [merged]

[Icy Gull]

I can believe this, question is would we be willing to shoot ourselves in the foot twice by selling a striker with potential to Palace?

Really hope not, if we sell Dobbie I'd rather he went ANYWHERE else

 

[JBizzle]

a run in the side and I think he will be ok, just needs game time

You're probably right but he and Gus are in a catch-22 at the moment: He's either not fit or not ready or not in the right frame of mind to be a good player for us yet because he needs games; we can't give him games because things are very tight at the moment and he's not shown enough to be trusted in the positions he plays to start.

How long do you take to bed in a player if it comes at the expense of the overall team? To me, for a variety of reasons (including not playing) Dobbie looks thoroughly unhappy at the club. Something that seems to be a trend with a lot of our strikers...

 

[detsknil]

They're welcome to him. We should pay them to take him off our hands.

Based on what exactly? The two times you have seen him play for Albion this season so far?

Have you seen what he is capable of when he was at Blackpool?

I rate him much higher than CMS, SD just needs game time, I thought that the game against Newcastle was the perfect opportunity for that but Gus bought out Hoskins.

 

[Dave the OAP]

If he is not getting a game here, then I am not sure why he would want to stay anyway.

As much as it pains me to say this, with palace's very attacking style of football, someone like doughby would fit in well, especially with two young wingers carving teams apart.

I think it may be time to look at some of the players now who do not get games and are regarded as "squad" players, and look to offload them...sparrow, doughby, etc

....."but Gus bought out Hoskins".................... who scored the match-clinching goal

Yes I noticed that! Was an observation not a dig

 

[goldstone]

It's true that Palace have enquired about Dobbie, they want to know if his name is pronounced as DOBbie or DOUGHbie

It's DOUGH BEE. Was in Scotland recently at a Garden Centre called Dobbie's so asked them the question!

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Palace have made an enquiry about Stephen Dobbie

Get more value from a Dough Boy

 

[BensGrandad]

I suggested that this about him and Palace was on the rumour site a couple of weeks ago and got slated as it had no foundation, what has changed?

That site also now says Dunk is in talks with Palace

 

[Red'n'Blue]

Not sure i want him.

Yes - based on what I've seen of him I don't rate him. If Gus rated him he'd have a regular place in the team so we might as well get rid.

Don't be silly R&B. If you take him he'll be amazing for you lot. It's the way of the world!

To be fair to Dobbie he has an excellent pedigree in this division and should be playing first team football somewhere.

 

[durrington gull]

Yes - based on what I've seen of him I don't rate him. If Gus rated him he'd have a regular place in the team so we might as well get rid.

Agree - let him go and bring in someone else, clearly not rated by Gus

To be fair, Holloway got a lot out of him at Blackpool, not like we would sell him to you but if we did, i wouldnt be surprised if he got the best out of Doughbee again.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Personally i think somebody has just looked at the Blackpool connection with Dobbie and Holloway and come up with the theory. I think that is all it is.

To me, for a variety of reasons (including not playing) Dobbie looks thoroughly unhappy at the club.

Looked thoroughly bored at the kids party in December. I watched him playing on the XBox striker game and even then he was kicking the ball lazily and didnt look as if he could be arsed to try! Says it all that he scored a big fat ZERO while GG got a much better score on the one next to him!

When they sell Zaha for the equivalent of Italy's national debt then I'd think they might find £50K to bid for him.

dobbie to palarse

lol

Dobbie to Palace

Just on SSN

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

SSN seem to think he still plays for Blackpool...might bit us on the arse if true.
