I hope so!

£20m, as sickening as it sounds, is what it costs to get the best Championship players 2019.

I know we say it every year but it's madness. 20 million pounds for a second tier defender! It's only three years ago that we broke our transfer record by paying what at the time was a whopping 4million for Shane Duffy. I find it hard to believe that this lad is five times the player Duffy is. Or that he'll contribute five times as much to the team.

He has been linked to a number of Prem clubs. Do some research if you can be bothered.
He was voted City's Player of the Year last year and is very highly rated as a ball playing CH. who can also play midfield.
At only 24 he is already an excellent player, just up Potter's street and has the potential to improve.
If we paid circa £20m plus add-ons and got £45m for Dunk, I reckon that would be a handy piece of business, enabling us to have a bit more dosh to strengthen wherever Potter deems necessary.
You can't always take one player's value to the team in isolation. You can sell one very highly valued player and purchase two highly valued players and increase the overall strength of the team.

Dude. You must be on the happy pills. Which is fine. No judgement here.

Or you can sell your best player, pick up an inferior Championship defender and buy a Jurgen Locadia and an Alireza Jahanbaksh

Blimey TSB, are you for real?
I don't think I have ever seen you post something positive about the club you purport to support.
You must be a joy to live with!

If you dont have at least one grumpy old supporter complaining about everything, then you're not doing things right.

I'm sure that there is logic to our transfer policy, but I'm not sure I understand it at this moment. Does this mean that Webster is not being brought in to replace Dunk, or are the two unrelated?

Not on happy pills, TSB , I just try and look at things in a logical manner and I also have more faith than you do in the board and management to do the right thing by the club.

If Leicester dig their heels in with Maguire, this deal will not be happening...long way to go yet.

Makes way for a back three of Webster-Dunk-Duffy, whilst not hindering the development of Matt Clarke and lets us test how good he is, baring in mind the highest level he has played at is league 1. If he shines in the championship, we can sell Dunk/Duffy next summer and have a natural replacement in Clarke. Smart business.

yeah makes sense.

Good for Clarke to test himself next level

I'm sure TSB will be along shortly

We'll also have Ben 'Baresi' White back next season.

Perhaps he can't get a work permit?

Or the U23s don't want him?

agreed, sounds a plan.

 

[Lower West Stander]

Perhaps Murray is that guy in the Twilght Zone who never ages and will be able to play up front for us till he's well into his 70s

 

[Conelli98]

I'm liking the idea of Webster, Dunk, Duffy!!!

Agreed Swansman, but dear old Trustee Savings Bank, really takes the biscuit.
He reminds me of an old boy I used to get the train with back in the early 1960's; he never had a good word to say about Archie Macaulay or the players, but without hearing his moans, it wouldn't have been a true match day experience! I am 71 now and still look back and chuckle!

Bristol City fan living in Brighton, Webster is top draw and yes that's over priced but who isn't at the moment. BC paid Ipswich a reported £3.8M for him 12 months ago with a reported 20 percent on the profit made in future transfers so Bristol City would want a high price to pay that off.

Last season, Oli McBurnie, the Swansea striker was asked who the best centre half he played against in the Championship and he replied "Bristol City's Kalas and Webster, I never got a look in" so Potter knows all about Webster..

Why?

 

[Turkey]

Could it be that we want to play 3-4-3 but need better than Burn/Clarke/Bernardo to make it work?

Yeah. Probably. Don't think this is the reason for the bid though.

Or we're looking at signing Colin Hawkins to be a permanent member of the u23s to link up with Andrew Crofts and add some experience to the bare bones u23 squad?
