    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    Top 6 in two seasons, Top 10 in another. Just one bad season in 4. In my mind we're a decent striker away from being promoting-chasing once more, i.e. in that second quarter of the table.

    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    We've slipped from being a Top 4 club to a lower half club because we've sold all of our best players. With Greer coming to the end of his career and Dunk his natural successor as defensive leader this would be a huge set-back on the eve of the new season. Because we have absolutely no cover...

    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    Sam Byram of Leeds being talked about in the papers for anywhere between £5 mill - £8 mill. Dunk must be of similar value.

    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    We finished 20th in the Championship but you're making these kids sound like the Southampton vintage of 2013/14.

    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    I'm not saying we're selling most of our young players, just the ones that have shown top level consistency. If you're being brutally honest - and I mean brutal - then neither KLL or JFC look like becoming top players, while Ince has to be disappointed with himself that he didn't nail down a...

    The thread title is about Dunk being sold, and the issue is whether it is better to cash in on your best young players and rebuild, or try and keep them. My point is that where meaningful cash has been attainable the club - for whatever reason - have cashed in most of the time. In order to get...

    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    Apart from Dunk none of the others are guaranteed regular first team players in what is a relatively weak Albion side. Compare that to the 8 that I named, 5 of whom have played in the Prem, 2 are about to with Bournemouth and the other has been contracted to a Premier League club for the last 3...

    Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

    No, the reality is Southampton only sell about 1 in 3 of their decent academy players. They still keep 2 out of 3, hence they succeed. We've sold just about every good young player we've had in the last 4 years - I realise they're not all academy players but they're all players we've developed...

    If we can't compete on transfer fees or wages, and we can't hang on to our best academy players then how will we ever get promoted?
