Dunk - Refusing to play?

[LamieRobertson]

Sorry.
"First game at Fulham. Come on Seagulls"

Ta very much and to Trig

And if we sell anyone, sure we sell JFC first?

£1500 and a 20% sell on fee isnt going to float many boats....

Hunemeier looking likely to start based on his comments on Twitter so guess it's goodbye Lewis and we are no further forward in developing the squad

Hunemeier wasn't going to be left out of the squad so I doubt this confirms that Dunk is going

 

[glasfryn]

so could it be Dunk and the Hune playing and GG on the bench
Dunk to score the winner
Up yours Fulham

It would be hard to justify putting your captain on the bench. Unless he had a slight knock

Don't shoot the messenger but I've heard that he might not play at Fulham, and possibly refused to play tuesday.

Wouldn't you agree tho that the wording of your message i.e. the thread title could be construed as quite damaging to the player in question - especially if it turns out not to be true?

If it turns out not to be true then why would it be damaging to him?

Dunk going we can still get a cb and another winger/ striker . It's still good and dunk isn't / won't be the coming of the Lord . With the media frenzy it Seems to of turned him above what he is . . . A decent championship standard English cb

You omitted 2 key words from your accessment of Dunk.

A decent, young, experienced, championship standard English cb.

Those elevate LD above the crowd, and that's why there's big money just around the corner.

Because a lot of people will have formed an opinion and spread the rumours based purely on your thread title when the player has no opportunity to defend himself. What if he genuinely can't play due to, say, a knock picked up in training? I just think its a bit below the belt really.

The club captain you mean. Don't think I've ever seen that

Steven Gerrard, most of last season?

It questions his integrity and it leads fans to believe his is disgruntled at the club whether he stays or goes. If he doesn’t play today and is sold it may be a club decision not to play him, but the refusing to play allegation will stick.

Well, then, some will believe that he has a knock and some won't. Just as would have been the case without this thread.
I did put it as a question rather than a statement and any Mods are able to change the title if they wish.
The club responded by saying that he's in the squad. That's pretty much answering for Lewis, isn't it? If he was injured, they would probably not have done so.
There was no intent to besmirch.

OK mate, fair enough

If he is sold, Mr Naylor will almost certainly offer an insight into why which would likely clear it up.
If he stays, people will quickly forget about this and the other questions on here.
Frankly, I'll be happy when this thread sinks.

 

[saafend_seagull]

TSB....enough said.

 

[Stuart Munday]

I don't think he has refused to play but if he is on the bench today then he is off.

Deep down I know you will be, and in truth it's been good for a bit of banter

Dunk and Greer to play the new guy on the bench is my guess
