At the time we thought we needed a replacement for Greer as our 4th. choice CB, after Dunk, Goldson and BFG. If we're just looking for someone to cover for Goldson going out on loan, £6M looks like a massive overspend.
So, I wonder what's going on? I would have thought any interest in Dunk would have been considerably reduced in the last dozen or so games.

Anywhere between £30-50 million dependent on the club...

I thought the point was him to be playing regular first team football. I can't see the three at the back formation being a regular occurrence, so (possibly/hopefully in preparation for next season), the club want CG to get some games under his belt and ready if (when) Dunk goes in the summer.
I don't think Dunk will go anywhere during this window.

I don't think any of the 'big' clubs would pay decent money for a center back who is part of a defense that has conceded from 13 corners in just over half a season.
I addition to the above he hasn't scored a single goal this season in the top flight.
BUT
He has scored what, 4 own goals?

Not sure why Goldson going out on loan comes as a surprise to anyone. It was the intention in the summer over and over and Hughton reiterated it again at the start of this window.
For that to happen requires incoming. And they also could do with a HGP from somewhere.
pS : Goldson has been with us for 2 and a half seasons and played hardly at all. He would have played 25 times for Ipswich if that move had gone ahead. More games than his entire Albion career.

Means Conor Goldson is off on loan surely? Hughton said he wants to loan Goldson out, so he gets game time, but only if we get someone in to replace him.

I'd be surprised if he's on anyone's list at this stage. We wouldn't sell anyway.

Whilst not having any strong feelings either regarding Flint, why would we assume they would sell when they are still well positioned for a Play off spot?
CG has been on the verge of the first team all season, and has played 2 league games.
How many league games since 2015 does that put him at now?
30ish or 40ish.
Connor WILL be first choice centre back next season, so he needs to be ready.
Indeed Hughton has been quoted extensively about loaning Goldson out so he get get more game time. Reading between the lines they're prepping Goldson to be ready for when/if Dunk leaves.

If I was a upper league club I would not pay that much for Dunk. 30m- 50m would make him one of the top ten most expensive defenders in international club history. Seriously ?

Well of course that could happen. But Goldson needs games to be ready for either a Champ or a Prem season and the club needs 4 CBs, and one of those is out of contract in the summer. And doesn’t look like he’s getting a new one. All of this points to:
- Dunk staying til summer, at least.
- Goldson on loan to Champ club
- incoming CB with longer term future than Uwe, and ideally a HGP
