How injured is Goldson, I was under the impression he was close to a return but seems to be wearing a knee brace ?

Derby have bid £6m for James Chester (West Brom CB).
Reported in Daily Mail this evening.

Purely guessing but from casual observations you'd suggest Goldson's injury may be more serious than anyone is letting on
As a plus it's interesting that the local press "expert" who has been leading the Twitter-chase for Dunk isn't aware that he signed a new long term deal last August and has calculated the supposed bid based on just two years remaining on his contract. No research.
Struggling to understand how Pulis doesn't rate Chester who is a very energetic ball playing centre back

The fact he is wearing a brace tells a lot!

I can see Bournemouth coming in with a bid, Howe's looking to add a centre back

Dunks worth every penny of 15m in the current market simply because he's mostly good at his job and scores goals. I wouldn't take anything less tbh.

The silence regarding Goldson is worrying. We need another CB in place as soon as possible let alone selling Dunk.
I certainly agree we could get in excess of £10m for him if in the current crazy market we wanted to sell but we'd be mad to contemplate it now. Might be worth contemplating trying Rosenior as a sweeper in front of the back four in the last couple of pre-season games. If we are forced to go with an untried pairing at Derby it could be a good insurance.

Brian Owen/Naylor are dismissing suggestions that there have been further bids for Dunk

Had a look and i think the last time Hughton mentioned him was 10 days ago when he said
""Connor's just taken a knock on his knee. We are assessing it at the moment. We are hoping he will be back in training soon."

Edit:
Scrub that he said this (not much more detail) at weekend.
“Connor won’t make midweek.(Oxford) It’s a concern, but it’s part and parcel of the game."

In today's Argus he goes on to say: "Bruno is always an option because he is experienced. There is no doubt his best position is right-back but he is an option. I think probably that is the only area (of concern) at the moment."

Well, it was before the possibility of starting the new season with a CB pairing of Hall plus Rosenior or Bruno came along!
How might you know this?
If he wants to go then we need to hold out for 12m+ sell on. I'm not exactly confident that all of that potential money will be made available as additional transfer funds, neither do I think we would be able to replace Dunk's quality if it was. We'd probably be able to bring in someone who is less likely to make errors but extremely unlikely to get someone as dominant in the air defensively and such a handful in the oppostion box (especially with knockaert and skalak delivering). Dunk scores some important goals and always will. So however much we get for the transfer and however much we spend of it, we'll be downgrading. Still i'm sure a few dribbling dick heads will be delighted at his departure, stating that he was the 'reason we didn't go up' and the like
Personally I would be absolutely devastated if any part of this team is broken up. Perhaps i'm naive to think that the players should be thinking in terms of unfinished business rather than their wallets. #together and all that.
Of course they should want to further their careers but a move to sodding WBA is not exactly much of an advancement, other than the financial implications.
If he goes this window, or whenever he goes I will reveal the source. As I told the source WBA isn't much of a step up other than in terms of pay.
Tend to agree. Same goes for Stephens.
WBA would be a major step up. They are an established premier league club. We have that potential, but that's it.

Naylor is adamant WBA haven't made a bid and given the glaring innacuracies in the Birmingham Mail reports that are feeding the rumour I suspect he may be right. Jeremy Peace just using the press to unsettle a player........usual tactics 
I really can't understand why people don't see this. WBA overshadow us in almost every way.
Lets face it, we've never made it past a Championship Semi final, we've bottled 3 of the last 4 years in the play offs, we've never played in the Premier league.
We do have a nice training ground though I'll give you that.
FWIW, I think location plays a big part here. If it was a Bournemouth, he'd be gone in a shot . Midlands away from his family, with a young family himself is a big move.

Surely we can't be seriously looking at starting the season with Bruno and Hall at centre back?
