Derby and Fulham bid for Dunk [+ Newcastle now interested]

[Stat Brother]

If only Barber's subsequent policy was "... but we will reinvest every penny back into the playing squad".

I wasn't aware that was Mr Barber's decision to make.

 

[GT49er]

Perhaps we could try something radically different for once - see who we get in first, and then look round he squad to see who we might be OK to sell?

 

[ferring seagull]

Apologies if fixtures but SSN reporting we have turned down bids from Derby and Fulham for Dunk

One would hope that we would not have done so given a) the options quoted and b) the forlorn hope that BHAFC could properly manage the contracts of aspiring players thus not giving them away for peanuts as in certain other recent cases.

Anything else tends to suggest a total lack of ambition but, Oh hang on !

 

[beorhthelm]

Not really. It could mean that we think that the money he could attract from other clubs could be spent better elsewhere.

yeah, like a replacement CB. oh.

 

[Marty___Mcfly]

Wheel sell

 

[Triggaaar]

£10M for Dunky ? , he's worth at least £20M

Yeah right. Dunk is the best defensive prospect in England for 30 years. He'll be better than Rio, and Rio went for about £30m 13 years ago, so if Dunk goes for anything under £35m we've been mugged.

 

[Hampster Gull]

We are doomed if we are selling to that lot

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Bite your lip!
Next thing you know you'll get an email offering you a refund on your season ticket(s).
We'll have no dissent against Mr Barber on this board thankyou.

 

[Stat Brother]

He will be when he asks to leave.which is "The Barber get out" when we do sell.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out, the rumour wagon is gathering pace.

Because keeping players who wanted out has worked really well for the club, recently.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

According to Paul Barber when a player wants to leave we then get the best deal for the club.

Every player is for sale. For a price.

If a player has ambitions that cannot be fulfilled with the Albion he has every right to move on, as we all do .It worked for Glenn,Elphick and Cookie why not Dunk

 

[Icy Gull]

Have we kept any then? I thought we'd made lots of money selling them? I think the club are probably quite pleased with the money received.

It's certainly worked out well on the pitch though.

 

[Megazone]

Being realistic. Dunk must be worth at least £30 million at the moment.

Both Bridcutt and Buckley were kept for longer than either of them wanted to be here.
The consequence of which was both of them doing feck all for 6 months.

But you knew that already.

I think you'll find they've done feck all since they left too

Tbh they've done **** all since they left too.

 

[Elvis]

The question should be then - why are we unable to keep players happy here?

We managed to keep Bobby Zamora here for an extra season, with Premier League interest - despite playing at a joke of a ground and paying him a pittance.

Now we have a state of the art stadium, paying decent wages, in a Premier League ready stadium - yet this isn't enough to keep players interested - why is this?

Because our decent wages are not as DECENT as other teams. This is football, Wonga rules!

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

The Nigels "big up" their players to mug off the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson so why can't we ?

Shirley that means Barber Out should be applauded for getting so much money for them.

Now we have a state of the art training ground, paying decent wages, in a Premier League ready stadium - yet this isn't enough to keep players interested - why is this?

Zamora knew he wasn't quite PLR and was happy to stay another season,he was confident of his own talent and ability and that the promised land would wait.
The good players that want out now realise that the Albion has no real rush to get to the prem,a players career is short and they want to get there sooner than we ever will.

 

[nwgull]

Why does it matter who we sell him to as long as they pay a million or 2 over the odds? Dunk is a good Championship defender, nothing more. He's certainly not irreplaceable.
