- Thread starter Zebedee
- Start date
So you started a crap thread about dunk leaving without any info that he is going. What was wrong with any of the other dunk threads

O ye of little faith
Why would we sell to a rival and this close to the start of the season? and whats to say that Dunk would want to move to Fulham anyway?
I can only see us selling to a Premier League club and so far, none have made an offer. We have always said that if a good offer came in from a big (ie top flight) club then we will not stand in the way of the players career but it has to be right for everyone.
We turned down several bids for Ulloa from a Premier League side so even if they were a top flight side, it doesn't mean we will sell if the deal doesn't suit us (and selling Dunk to Fulham this close to the transfer window to a rival doesn't suit us.

Unless we sign a replacement, somebody like Elphick, no chance if you listen to CH pre Sevilla press conference.

He's in the team today, so...
He's doing a job.
Another employer might offer him twice as much as his current wage.
The other employer is relatively local meaning he won't need to uproot his family.
Why wouldn't anyone in this position consider changing jobs?
What is certain is that if Lewis Dunk remains an Albion player, he's going to get quite a pay rise. Again, as happens in many jobs.

"And they have been linked with defensive reinforcements with a move for Brighton’s Lewis Dunk set for completion this week."

If we sell him then at least we know the club have no interest in promotion

Either way I would put in an offer for Tommy Elphick as they have signed CB and I think he will struggle in the Premier plus apparently upset team mates by saying they have to get used to losing and not winning every week.
That's the worry isn't it. It makes no sense for the club to sell him this close to the start of the season without a ready made replacement already here. However it may not be 100% in the club's hands. If he is being offered silly wages by Fulham then that changes the dynamic. I don't expect a guy like Lewis to do a Bridcutt but it could hurt the team spirit that we need to nurture..

If Dunk is sold that just shows the ambition the club has. If the club have no interest in putting effort in i'll have no ambition or show no effort into putting my hard earnt cash into going to matches, Buying over priced drinks/food. Sure it may sound like i'm being a spoilt brat but but if they can't be arsed. Why should i. They do this every time. Sell all our best players and replace with bottom feeders and barrel scrapers.

I wonder what effect it would have on Hughton if he was sold, the club certainly kicked the feet from under Hyypia with selling important players so close to the start of the season.
What if a Championship club offers us £50m for him? Silly figure, I know, but I'm illustrating a point. There is an unknown value where the club go "that's a decent return, we'll take that."
What is Lewis Dunk says he wants to leave to a Championship club, presumably for a big pay rise? What if he "does a Bridcutt", loses focus and becomes a liability to us?
Never say never.

I would imagine that the club will do a deal along the lines of Dunk leaving when we get his replacement and the other CB we are looking to sign. But you never know - perhaps we will be so good attacking this season that we do not need any defenders?

It's becoming increasingly difficult to envisage us holding on to Dunk by the end of the window.
