Baby steps.
In the meantime with all this cash in the bank, I'm buoyed by the fact there are now so many more players available, for the club not to buy.
Why's everyone getting titsy about this?
If Dunk leaves he leaves, not much anyone can do about that.
But if Barber's Albion is good at one thing, that one thing has to be getting over and above top dollar in the bank, through transfer fees.
If the Albion value LD at say £6m, you can be pretty...
But that just isn't the case, irrespective as to whether you agree with it or not.
Even if you do a rudimentary equation based on LD it's impossible to come out with your figure of £1m.
Young + experienced + English + goals scored + length of contract + rating against peers + other player...
It's a shame t'other fella isn't still at Blunderland.
A nice little bidding war between those 2 would have been interesting.
Anyone talking less than £5m for the Championship's best rated young English player has no concept of modern soccerball economics.
Internationally there's a dearth of top quality, young, centre backs.
A quick scan around the Premier League, La Liga and Serie A, shows youth tearing up in all positions, except one.
Many goalies are younger than the defenders in front of them.
As and when Dunk is sold, like Ulloa, he'll go...
My personal favourite was Walton being a Warren Aspinall signing.
That'll be taking the role of first Albion scout to see the England international a little far.

According to Mr Bloom CMS joined because Mr Poyet sold to him a style of play CMS couldn't resist.
Also according to Mr Bloom, Mr Poyet instantly reneged on his word.
For many reasons I don't believe the club should be shopping in England for replacement players, this being one.
I can see there being difficulties for a young player, perhaps with family, to relocate here.
But we're a completely different sell to a European.
A stones throw from Gatwick.

Ok let's say we sell Dunk to West Brom for £5m.
Glenn Rae steps up for our promotion season and is 'player of the division'.
The Albion will still sell Rae but this time it'll be Man Utd for £10m
The Albion now march into a UEFA Cup spot under the guidance of Dallision.
The Albion will still...
#15 in your reply to Spider for starters.
Why question 'he's not for sale'?
All bar 2 footballers on the planet are for sale, if the price is right.
Lewis might be good but he isn't one of them.
What do you want PB to say 'well obviously if all parties can agree on a price all of our playing...
Alternatively the club are confident, this summer, it will receive an offer it can't refuse for Dunk.
Leaking news of a couple of derisory in the hope they flush out the big money now instead of 31.08, when it's no use to anybody.
