Daws Could Leave
I believe that our central defender, Michael Dawson, could be on his way out of the club.
I say this because reports from a lot of the reputable ITK's (believe them if you will) are stating that we are after several centre-backs, including 2 from La Liga and from the French leagues.
With King on the mend, and Woodgate as strong as ever, the first-team options for Dawson look bleak.
At this stage in his career, he can't be playing as a squad player and he himself knows this. I believe that he won't be leaving this summer, but could be allowed to leave in the January 2009 transfer window, especially if we have got in another centre-half and if his starts for the club are at a bare minimum.
If this is the case, I wish him the best of luck. I also hope that he ups his game and challenges King & Woody for a starting place and doesn't just pack it in like most footballers do when they are shifted down the pecking order.

Seriously - this reads worse than my three year old brother's speculation.
I'm all for you being creative or imparting your own opinions but try and do it in a way that doesn't make it sound like you're STATING IT with nothing more than hersay for facts...
The gutsy centre back endured a tough campaign last season, but he is keen to put that right in the coming months.
Dawson has been linked to Newcastle, Aston Villa and Bolton, while Sunderland are thought to be at the head of the queue with a £6 million move.
The former Nottingham Forest man is excited by Spurs’ progress under Juande Ramos though, and he is keen to stay around as the club try to build on their Carling Cup success.
Dawson said: "It is all speculation about my future. I am happy here and I don't know where that has come from.
"We have been linked with everyone. Who knows what will happen, that is the manager's decision.
"We have got depth in the centre-back position and hopefully the manager thinks like that as well. Fingers crossed it will be the same next year. It is competition and we want to push on.
"If you look over the last two seasons and the way I have been playing, I like…
