Yeah. Probably right. There’s ITK..and some trust it..and there’s ITK that’s probably bogus or made up. It’s picking your favourite tipster on NSC by hanging around long enough to tell whether they’re talking out of their arse or not.
Grip got. Ta spence and others.
I’m sure you understand that there are often complexities and competing interests that will ensure a deal is either done or not. I’m unhappy about this ITK slandering because, I shit you not, the Dunk to Leicester speculation dates back to May and my “source” is impeccable in his or her pedigree...
I don’t know you and it’s your right to say whatever you like about folk being ITK.
I’m actually not trying to impress you or anyone else for that matter...but what I’ve said on Dunk really has come from a very reliable source who definitely IS in the know.
Anyway, carry on.
If Dunk does go I will be as pissed off as everyone else. I’m just saying that I’ve had it, on impeccable authority, that this is what went down.
If I’m wrong or lying...I’ll have to live with the shit. I’m not lying.
OK. If we have a discussion and someone says “I’ve heard this” then either you believe them or you don’t. You don’t know me so therefore I’m wrong. I’m not. I don’t just make stuff up, but again...you don’t know me so I’m lying.
Either I’m right, or I’m wrong. Either way, there it is.
That’s the insider bit. He hasn’t publicly declared that he will never leave...nor has he expressed a desperation to go.
All I know is he was approached, said he was interested, and that’s it.
I imagine he’s happy at Brighton. I don’t think he’s actively looking to move, but I think he saw...
No. The one person who we haven’t heard anything from is Dunk...which in and of itself should tell you something... What I am led to believe is that the Maguire - Man Utd discussion came up during the last window and Leicester opened a channel to us after Rodgers got in place.
The view there...
The agreement was made months ago (between Brighton and Leicester). The issue is that Manchester United need to pay £80m for Maguire. I’m not making this shit up. I’ve only made 1 or 2 pronouncements in the 13 years I’ve been on here and , when I do, it’s right.
I don’t want Dunk to go. I’m...
Dunk will go to Leicester. It is pretty much done. I don’t like it, but I’m a realist. I’ll get pilloried (again) for saying it...as was Harty..but I really believe it is going to happen.
If he goes for the money we’re hearing, then we have, likely, already got a strategy to replace.
If...and...
I have it, on good authority, that the Move for Dunk to Leicester has been on the table for months. The whole deal hinges on Man Utd/Maguire. When THAT is confirmed, Dunk is very likely to go. PL clubs actually all big clubs, do their business long before it gets reported in the media.
Forget...
Oh yes.
This is the quality of a balanced, well considered and just damned classy rivals debate.
Christ. I thank GOD every day that I was born in Brighton rather than oddity roundaheights.
Whoa...hold on there bald eagle.
He’ll be accusing you of being pro murder for that...possibly race related...comment.
They’ll start ANOTHER thread about you on BBS if you’re not careful!,
I’ve got my own now...I’m a “Filthy Racist”;over there. Much to my great amusement.
Contrast this with the hysterical bleating from our Palace chums and Wilf.
“One of our own” Dunk, we’re sad if he goes, quality player, will leave a massive hole, but good luck if he wants out.
“One of their own” Zaha...we’d lose our shit if he went, quality player...no no no..he can’t...
