Dunk Signs New 5-Year Contract

Kazenga <3 · Aug 24, 2015

Interesting where it leaves the other three centre backs as Dunk is a certain starter. We won't have shelled out nearly £2m for Hune to sit on the bench, so you'd imagine Greer will be demoted. But then Goldson would never have signed if he were to be left out of the squad completely would he? Can't see us having two centre backs on the bench...

Think the club are planning ahead with GG in the last year of his contract. Really good to see and there now seems to be something of a long term strategy compared with last summer. The contrast is stark!!

Great news. Very strong at the back. All successful teams start at the back. A couple more signings and we could be well on the way.

Excellent news. Now for a triple whammy to finish off the transfer window: Tex, Vydra and Marshall would do me

If we somehow got all of those three, I genuinely believe we'd be on the road to the Premier League.

Did not expect this news. Going to be a very strong defence. Well done to keep hold of him.

Nicely played by the club. Especially as Greer also has international duties.

No different from any other position in the squad. Depth needed for a 46 game season. Greer on international duty too.
One or two will inevitably be injured, suspended, or lose form.
Rea will need to be recalled from loan if so.

Well we always said we needed 4 CBs and it looks like we have them. Team will benefit from great competition.

We could always play 3 CBs at the back with Bong and Bruno bombing forwards as wing backs, (I know, don't change a winning formula :smile:

but food for thought)

We look so strong at the back. Love it. Dunk must be one of the top earners now

Very good news of course, but it really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth - the fact that he hasn't played for 3 games despite being under contract at this football club. And now he'll get a rapturous reception because he's accepted a new 5 year contract on some stupidly massive wage increase, given under duress. Modern football makes me want to spew sometimes.

Im told he was told that they want to build a team around him.

Im delighted he has seen sense.

It is a squad game these days and the players are paid a small fortune. There will be cup games, injuries, loss of form and suspensions. On top of that CH will look to keep players fresh and sharp. If we are to reach the play offs there are even more games. It was not that long ago we were away to Derby in the play offs with Ward in central defence. We were caught out then, we need to try and avoid that happening again.

Very surprised, but very pleased........local lad done good :thumbsup:

jamie the seagull · Aug 24, 2015

Bong the only weak link in defence now, can we use Uwe or Goldson at full back?

cracking piece of news
just like signing a new player
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Or be thankful one of the brightest young centre half outside of the Prem wants to give his best years to his boyhood club!

Six visits to the 'Donate a Baseball Cap' thread later and I finally made it. Great news on Dunky.

Using a phone per chance?? :lol:

I'm constantly clicking on wrong threads and visiting author pages. I really should set the default display to mobile.....

This is really good news, for the players to believe that the club is serious about trying to get promoted then refusing to sell your best players to league rivals is one way to show them. I hope by the end of the transfer window we have a team with the belief and togetherness and have a much better season then last one.

It seems to confirms to me that the club learnt a lot last season and are doing everything they can not to replicate it. Bloody well done :thumbsup:

I am thankful as I think he's a good player. Just don't expect me to be gushing over him like he's one of our own.
