Change at Barnham

Lewis Dunk must be our most likely player in demand from other clubs.
Do we have any other players that a 'bigger' club might want?

[Albion] Are there any players that might we lose that we want to keep?

Gross and Stephens will probably have some interest.

Can't see any core players leaving this summer.

I would hope we keep all of them.
Dunk, Izquierdo and Propper are probably the players we’re most at risk of losing to bigger clubs playing in Europe but I would hope they’ll stay at least another season if we stay up.

Sadly and I hope to be proved wrong, I do see Dunk likely going
He's at that age I think where the next step up needs to put him on the England radar (which he isnt but should be with us) and to have chance to win things. Late - mid late 20's is when we'll get the most money for him at his prime and I can see it being a crossing point for him. If I were him and I am sure he is, I would be considering things. We're not likely to be winning anything for a while, and I would wish him all the best of course
I dont see anyone else really that I am too concerned about at this level

Dunk and Gross would be my thoughts of attracting serious interest.

I would like to think that Gross would do at least another season or 2 with us. Heck if he does or doesn't then he would likely be the most lucrative business we or pretty muc anyone else would have done, what do you reckon his price now? 30m?
Is Gross quick enough to step up another level? Does he need to be? Would we sell him considering his assists have likely kept us up? Will he want to leave?
Dunk's price tag will be interesting. Need two or three clubs to be after him. Arsenal should be, if they aren't already.

It's all about the money. Both the money for the sale and the money a player could obtain elsewhere.
If someone is on £30k and his agent says that another club would pay him £45k (for example) then you can understand why he would want to be off, however much he may like the team, manager, training ground, house overlooking the sea (delete as appropriate).

Are you serious? Have you seen Pascals stats?
If we stay up, the only player I could see leaving is Dunk (and it'd take something north of £40m from a big club I reckon).
If we go down, all bets are off.

AGREED
Also at a large club where he is not on the defensive so much his stats would be phenomenal.

I know the talk is always about Dunk, but I can see Duffy going.

Albion tinted glasses I'm afraid.
He is very, very slow. He is so poor at heading, most of the time he performs a half-hearted jump just for the sake of it, or doesn't even bother at all. He is still quite lightweight and gets brushed aside often. There are also quite a few games where he has been completely anonymous which can't have gone unnoticed.
He does obviously have some exceptional traits, such as set piece delivery, ground covered and distribution but the caveats above will stop interest from "top 6 clubs". He could obviously get offered 100k a week at some shitfest like West Ham though.

I don't think he'd leave, but I could possibly see some interest in Maty Ryan* in the summer – especially if he has a good world cup.

If we go down, we could lose quite a few - and probably will. If we stay up, I don't think we'll have quite the rush of bids that some are expecting.

Dunk to a just outside the top six team like Everton/Leicester seems the biggest risk to me. Gross is too slow to attract a bigger club however good he is on the ball. I don't see anyone else attracting clubs that are bigger than us and therefore why would we sell/why would they leave if it is a sideways move?
The only exception may be Knockaert if club/player decide its time to split.
