Dawson is a bargain at £2m

Good news is that Craig Dawson is to join West Ham permanently from Watford in the close season. And if the fee is only the reported £2 million then he's a massive bargain — particularly considering the fact West Ham offered £31 million for Burnley's Tarkowski in the summer. Since coming into the side at Southampton Dawson's played 17 games and scored four goals. Without  Ogbonna he's had to be a leader at the back and has been generally immense at the back. Even his two own goals have been signs of a player who is always close to stopping a chance. Craig is a good old-fashioned stopper who is dangerous at the other end too. As befits someone who has come up via Rochdale, West Brom and Watford, he's still hungry at 30 and a great addition to the squad.
