Lewis Dunk

[GT49er]

£2.5 million not enough - we don't want to sell him, we don't have to sell him, so just set a higher price on a 'Take it or Leave it' basis. £5 million, perhaps, plus maybe a player too.

 

[Biscuit]

It'd smack of lack of ambition to sell him cheap and before the summer. He's superb and players like Dunk don't grow on trees. Keep him or sell for mega money. If he proves vital in keeping us up then he's justified turning £2.5m down and if he helps us go up Lord knows what price that's worth.

 

[Surf's Up]

£5 m AT LEAST + matches played premium + u 21/international caps + sell-on %age - think Oxlade Chamberlain not bargain basement!!

 

[leigull]

Cook definitely looked the part against Liverpool.

We will always struggle to get big prices for youngsters as we don't have a history of producing stars.

Would be surprised if Bloom turned down £2.5m

 

[upthealbion1970]

Joel Lynch, Tommy, Adam Hinshelwood (prior to his injury), El-Abd, Dunky and Cook. We have produced a few decent defenders in the last few years with such limited resources, the training facilities and academy can't come soon enough.

 

[BensGrandad]

Take the money and run, we already have a replacement in Cook, I actually think from what I have seen of him that he is a better footballer than Dunk and looks very comfortable with the ball.

Also he can head a ball which Dunk doesnt appear to be able to do very well. When does his contract run out as this will be an influence on the price we get for him if he goes.

 

[JJB]

Sorry to burst your bubble. You won't get masses for him. We got £15million for chambo because he's 2 years younger, and an ATTACKING player. The defenders only go for small bucks. We got £5mill upfront for bale plus a couple of mill add-ons. The most you'll get is £5mill including add-ons. Especially if he decides he wants to go!

 

[1066familyman]

I have to believe that Gus Poyet will already have considered this possibility and will have the scouts looking for a replacement, always assuming there is no serious cover coming up through the development squad.

Two word answer - Steve Cook

 

[Kazenga <3]

If Man City are interested then set the bar at nothing less than £4mill

 

[Rich Suvner]

We got mugged for Bennett and Crofts so it'd be logical to make a bit of that back and hold out for something around £5million plus sell-on clauses IMO

i expect we'll be a top-half championship club at the next two transfer windows, and that will add some wedge to the asking price.

quality in the carling cup - very promising talent

 

[LamieRobertson]

personally i don't think dunk has played that well recently..but then i guess u cud say that for the whole team.....and january is still a few months off..so who the fek knows..might even get injured

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Anyone who says anything less than £5m is on crack

 

[BensGrandad]

I am not on crack but think we will be lucky if it reaches £3m. He is not a premiership player but a player with potential that a premiership club could develope.

Also he can head a ball which Dunk doesnt appear to be able to do very well. When does his contract run out as this will be an influence on the price we get for him if he goes.

Dunk can't head it? You crack me up BG, you really do.

 

[CT.BHA]

Realistically every player has his price but if we are ambitious which i think we are, I would like to see us resist, at least until next Summer.

 

[terryberry1]

He is young and clearly talented with those clubs involved he has to be worth at least 5 million and probably more.

This. We should set that as the price. Take it or leave it

 

[BensGrandad]

Dunk can't head it? You crack me up BG, you really do.

Both his and Greers heading of the ball is poor and is partially responsible for the goals that we have conceeded. Neither of them get any distance on their headers as per El Abd, Elphick, Butters, Morgan and past central defenders that we have had. They both follow Cullips idea of jiust heading the ball back up in the air. At least Cullip managed to beat other players to the ball. I believe this is a weakness of Dunks that any prospective buyers will have to work on. This is also the reason so many people are saying we need an old head central defender.

 

[Samej]

Will he leave in January....I hope not..But big Prem teams normally get what they want

What would you do in his position,he is a huge talent surrounded by division one players.We can`t even beat a team in the bottom three of the table.Move on Dunk and good luck.

He was not very good against Leeds, letting MacCormack do him for the second goal and possibly the third (it all happened so quickly and I'm in the North Stand) and dire against Palace, but then apart from CMS, who wasn't? Had better games against Hull and Millwall though. Perhaps all the talk was getting to him, and the fact that he already had four bookings. Not to forget that he was fortunate not to get sent off against Doncaster, and nearly cost us the win at Portsmouth. But then he was superb against Cardiff and presumably Bristol City (I wasn't there), and seemed nearly back to his best last night. On the money issue, TB and Gus should hold out for the highest figure possible, at least £3 - 5 million. Where is he contract wise? I know he's under Bosman age, but does the transfer fee go to a tribunal if a player is at the end of his contract?
