Lewis Dunk - rave reviews

[LVGull]

Is Josh Stones far better than Dunky? Look what he went for.

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

According to the Argus and comments on Owlstalk, Duffy played a blinder too. Glory days.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

I would suggest that his new contract has a very hefty minimum release clause to keep both sides happy.

They like Knockaert also .

Could do one day soon but he needs to get ahead of any that play for Utd or Chelsea regardless of form, like many other English CB's that deserve a cap or two. Plenty of time though. It's easy to forget that he's only 25 this year (unless I'm mistaken).

First and foremost, he needs to get himself, (and I hope the Albion), into the Premier League. Then and only then will he ever get a real chance to play for his country.

I'm just amazed that so many people have only just woken up to what a class defender Dunky really is. That clever little pass he made with the outside of his foot to lay on one of our goals today, you would normally never see a centre half make.

Just had a call from an old Wednesday supporting mate checking if I'd gone up today (I haven't). He's a season ticket holder and (unprompted) said that Dunk's performance today was the best he'd seen at Hillsborough this season.

 

[Gazwag]

He was OUTSTANDING today

 

[Rod Marsh]

Delighted he is getting the recognition his performances this season have deserved.

That's true, throughly sadly we're in an age where English cb's in the PL are far and few between (off the top of my head at least).

Agreed, He's had the class for a while now but gets a bad rep when he falls victim to symptoms of being a defender. It's not for the want of trying though.

I wasn't there today but for those that were it must have been a joy to behold.

Talking to owls fans aftervthe 2nd playoff leg, they were in awe of Dunky then too

 

[Bring back Bryan wade!!]

Great business from the club getting him to sign the new 5 year contract.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

I thought Everton might have targeted Dunk as a replacement for Stones. He's not dissimilar, a proper ball playing centre half. Now that he has eliminated the silly errors from his game, he's has to be worth £20m all day long in today's market.

 

[Davemania]

He's just an incredible player now. We've been very fortunate to watch his development over a long time. He inevitably will move on probably in the next year or so unless we're promoted perhaps. Even then he's good enough to play for a big team. How many centre backs have his all round quality? He's brilliant in the air, not too slow for someone 6'4". Has amazing anticipation, is great coming across and cutting out attacks, dribbles the ball toward, has developed an awesome long pass, he slings it diagonally like a quarterback, he's Hoddle-esque in his accuracy. There's no one certainly not English centre backs with his all round game. If I were a Chelsea scout I'd be haranging the manager to sign him as a replacement for John Terry.

I have to say he reminds me a little of John Terry in his positioning and shape but Lewis is a better passer, the more experience he gains will develop him into an elite CB.

I have to say I hate John Terry.

 

[BensGrandad]

He was OUTSTANDING today

Didnt one of the football sites make Norwood MOM, so he must have been very good to have been better than the reports of Dunks game.

 

[Doc Lynam]

I have to say I hate John Terry.

Player or person? Because i know which one for me.

 

[fat old seagull]

I'll be amazed if he's still with us next year if we don't get promoted. I watch him and Knockaert and they are too good for this level.

You're probably right...so let's hope next season they're in the Prem...playing out their contracts. :

 

[Wardy's twin]

He is the complete performer now. I am glad he is being recognised for his class. Funnily enough he is at his best but he is not scoring less....
