Dawson Has No Intention Of Leaving

After coming close to leaving Tottenham a couple of seasons ago, captain Michael Dawson has revealed that he has no intention of leaving White Hart Lane for the time being. Dawson was close to being sold to QPR during the regime of Andre Villas-Boas. However, he stayed on and captained the team to a sixth place finish last season. For much of the campaign, they were in contention for a top four spot before eventually suffering from poor form towards the end of the campaign. Dawson was an ever present with the team, but there have recently been transfer rumours linking him with the likes of Crystal Palace.

Hull City are also interested in the former England international, but it seems that the 30-year-old does not want to make a move away from the club. After having made 41 appearances in all competitions last season, he has been linked primarily because of his contract situation. The player has only one year left on his deal. He has been at Tottenham for almost a decade and will be eligible for a testimonial match next summer. He says that he has been at Tottenham for all this period because of his love for the club. This is unlikely to prevent from playing for another Premier league outfit in the near future.

“I’ve been at Tottenham for nine-and-a-half years. It’s a great football club and I’ve loved every minute of it while I’ve been here. The fans have been superb to me since day one because I’ve had some ups and downs like everyone does. The expectations are high and the players want to achieve them. We want to be in the top four and hopefully next year we’ll have another push,” said the player, who was signed from Nottingham Forest in 2005.

Spurs Stay In Europa Race

Tottenham managed to stay in the race for the Europa league spot after managing your 1-0 win over Stoke city during the weekend. After the match, captain Michael Dawson praised the character of his teammates to prevent a comeback from the opposition. Tottenham have all but given up hope of finishing in the top four this season. Poor form against bigger opposition like Chelsea and Liverpool have cost them this place. However, the club can still finish in a much better position and even qualify for the Europa league ahead of Manchester United.

They have managed to do this after getting a 1-0 victory over Stoke, who have been on a roll in the last few weeks. Dawson just recently returned to first team training and the start against Stoke was his first since March. Despite this, he was not showing any signs of weakness and kept tight for a clean sheet. Clean sheets have become a rarity at Tottenham in recent months. The club has conceded a lot of goals especially against the likes of Liverpool. In the two matches against Brendan Rodgers’ men, Tottenham have conceded nine goals and scored just one in reply.

With two matches still left in the competition, Tottenham will be hoping to finish the job in the remainder of the matches.

“I thought we dominated in the first half and played very well. In the second half when they went down to 10 men, you’d like to think we’d dominate again, but it doesn’t work that way at Stoke. We didn’t pass it like we normally do and they pushed on. They had the momentum but we dug deep and showed another side (to our game). You have to do that at Stoke. They don’t give up. I thought they had a real go at the end of the game which was always going to happen,” said Dawson.
