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

[Luke93]

It won’t be a transfer window without a new contract for Dunk!

 

[vagabond]

Great news! But where does that leave Ben White?

Eh? How does one effect the other?

Little bit emotional about this. Was resigned to saying farewell but this is just incredible news.

Have we had a player of Dunky's quality be a one-club man for the Albion ever?

This is brilliant news. I thought he was off this season and had made my peace with it, to see him sign this deal is a very pleasant surprise. We are no longer a club that shifts out its best players.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Guaranteed legendary status now, if it was ever in doubt.

 

[British Bulldog]

Excellent news, people talk about legends at clubs but the Lewis Dunk's are the real legends.

Even better news than the Ben White saga. I like the potential combination of Dunk, Webster, White back 3. White will learn a lot from these two.

 

[Soton Seagull]

Great news. Presuming all these new 5 year contracts he's had replace existing ones as if they are compound then he'll still be playing for us when he's 60!

It leaves him playing alongside a top defender.

How does it not?

Working with a great captain and roll model.

Should we change the title of this thread?

 

[Beanstalk]

Confirmed that Chelsea made an enquiry that the club rejected as well

He can now be classed as a ' Brighton stalwart '


Brighton through & through.

I'm led to believe that LD won't go THIS window.

I'm sure I'll be lambasted if it all goes belly up but I understand there's ongoing discussions between certain parties concerning release clauses should the appropriate offers be tabled.

As far as I know this is the delay with certain players contracts and assurances of who goes/stays.

Very interesting to see how it pans out.

You only went and came up with the frickin’ goods ‘top’ !!!

Well, of course... that’s what I’m saying.

I don’t see how it’s a problem having Dunk, White and Webster. We’re an established PL team now.

Would presume it’s to match his wages with Lallana, so 80k a week now for Lewis. Doubt he’d ever imagined in his wildest dreams he’d be making that amount whilst here.

 

[bluenitsuj]

It was obvious. Would have saved 100 pages of speculation

Hopefully leaves him knowing Dunk won’t be going anywhere...but if anything happens to BW now at least we have LD for long term.

FWIW I believe BW will be staying and will be firmly in the match day 11. But if he leaves, he leaves. UTA.
