[Albion] Lewis Dunk to Chelsea? EDIT: New 5 Year Deal Signed

[mashman156]

Having said that White is evens to go to Leeds. These transfer rumours can be influenced by fairly small bets, but you would hope that the odds would be fading, not tightening. Seems as if Chelsea are in for everyone if you read the press.

I'd say the Leeds odds have tightened as its been widely reported that official bids have been made (although rejected) so interest is concrete. With Dunk although interest reported, no official bids made that we are aware of. As you say small bets can have a big influence. Hoping its more down to their terrible defence against Munich than anything official

As has been mentioned several times previously, the biggest indicator is that Lewis Dunk hasn't been included in any of Brighton's marketing material for the season ahead.
Odds of 1/3 about him moving to Chelsea are also very telling.

That's a terrible piece: no mention of Clarke or Burn at all. And Lewis Dunk is a target for a top 4 club but Duffy is getting to be too old to fill his shoes (narrator's voice: Duffy is younger than Dunk). It's also very harsh to say that Webster hasn't shone brightly - he had a couple of dreadful games but has been OK, especially since the lockdown.

Who writes this crap?

1-3 on showing on Sky bet doesn’t sound like good news for us . Unless the fee is £50m that goes into our transfer budget .

 

[GoingUp]

If we lost White and Dunk we would really be screwed. If Leeds and Chelsea put in huge bids, would Bloom turn down something like £90mil?

I hope he would as I dont know who we would be able to sign as replacements, plus it would show intent.

Don’t understand Dunky’s odds. Chelsea have refocused on White, and Dunky was not their top target anyway

Could be insider info, shirley? Chelsea, apparently want to sell before they buy, and if a deal involving Dunk has already been agreed informally it is in out interest to make it happen as late as possible so that any club we might be trying to buy someone from won't be able to turn round and say, "Yes, but what about that £30M you got for Dunk; you can add some more of that to your bid before we'll talk."

To be fair Dunk would be a great signing for them

 

[Robinjakarta]

Lawro was the business from the moment we signed him, even though I was just a kid I can still recall him signing with Williams. Great in the air, decent pace, a brilliant defender and accomplished passing.

Won a bucketload of the greatest honours in the game.

Yep. Far and away the greatest Albion player I've ever seen. Every single game he played well, no weaknesses, could play midfield and even upfront as well as defence. Crappy pundit, though.

Odds mean **** all. Only time there happened to be truth was Lallana - apart from that, which was prob a mate of his or someone who knew having their £20 max bet, they mean nothing!

 

[Tweeting Seagull]

The S*n are reporting that a deal for Dunk to go to Chelsea for £40m is close.

 

[The Wizard]

The sun? Fantastic, that’s confirmed he’s staying then.

Not really sure Chelsea could afford another signing at such expense anyhow, not without selling players first.

OK they also say Duffy loan is 5m everywhere else says 2m. Then a bullshit bit on White. The figure for Dunk is less than anyone else quoted, plus it's a re-hash of other reports.

 

[Eeyore]

CHELSEA are closing on a £40million swoop for Brighton defender Lewis Dunk.

Okay

'And his exit is set to be confirmed if Chelsea can match the Seagulls’ valuation'

The inference was that it has already happened

'And Dunk, a consistent performer in Brighton’s three seasons back in the top flight, is now emerging as the leading candidate'

Leading candidate ? Hold on, I thought this was about to happen.

'But Dunk is a lifelong Chelsea fan and believes he is on his way to Stamford Bridge'

I think he'd be a bit confused if he read that article

We are second favourites to sign Dean Henderson according to sky so no need to panic, just what we need another frigging keeper.

That's since 2006.

Additionally, BBC 2018 study had The Sun outside the top 5, so still likely less than 30% at very best.

Obviously don't know if Chelsea are in for Dunk, but I would never use The Sun for confirmation.
