Said a few times that Rondon would be a decent signing.

Rondon was a beast in La Liga with Malaga so I'm not surprised but yeah Atletico could do better if they want to challenge for the title but would be a good replacement for Torres who's left and Grizemen who's going to Barca. A Rondon/Costa partnership sounds like a nightmare for defenders so much brute force, strength and power. I'll take Rondon in our side to be honest if we sell Mitrov. If Joselu goes then Rondon/Perez/Gayle + NEW ST would be good. Need more aerial threats as Perez and Gayle too lightweight.

I just messaged a friend who's been a ST holder at WBA for donkey's years and she says he's a CB.

He has played at RB, but he's a CB playing at RB.
I'd still say it's in the same way Dummett is a CB at LB. Before this/last season it was McAuley and Evans at CB, Hegazy came in and replaced McAuley.

Don't want any squad players or numbers would much prefer solid improvement

Yeah pretty much, and he'd probably fit a CB into midfield if he could <laugh>

I spent the last two pages assuming people were talking about Michael Dawson.

Dawson is more of a RB. Well, a Dummett-like RB in that he is a defender that defends and looks like a CB. He'd be a solid addition as a squad player. Could rotate him with Yedlin depending on opposition, could cover CB or play in a back 3/5 if we use that formation again.

Our 1st choice pairing are more than good enough going in to next season, and Clark is an ale 3rd choice. Just need to replace Mbemba at 4th choice if he goes really.
I guess if he did go (which seems likely) then if we sign a new LB to add some depth there then Dummett could also be used as 4th choice CB if needed, assuming that the new LB is capable...

Dawson is a big threat in the air as well and this is an area we are terrible. We put in some good crosses but we don't have much to aim for.
Lascelles and Lejune have formed a decent partnership so doubt Dawson would want to sit on our bench.

We have been linked briefly I think, but with Evans almost certainly gone for next to no money I can't see them letting Dawson go for anywhere near a resonably price. Understandably too. Unless he has a release clause. And whilst he's an okay defender, I don't think he's good enough to start for us.

Yeah I think on a free he'd be a good addition. Tidy player.
