[Albion] Dunk doesn't travel with squad to France as he needs 'rest'

[redoubtable seagull]

He's played 3 games in a week and is due to play again on Friday and we have other central defenders that need game time. Why would you take him on two flights to sit on the bench?
Surely it's not that hard to work out.

Did he play in 3 last week? I thought he’d only played in 2: Charlton and Brum. Have I missed one?

60 minutes against Crawley Town on Friday (two 30-minute periods), 79 minutes against Charlton on Tuesday and 76 minutes against Birmingham on Saturday.

Surprised we took that much risk with someone who is about to leave.....

 

[ac gull]

about this time every year ( for last few years ) he signs a new four or five year contract

I'll hazard a guess that's how the club keeps it's top earners at the top without inserting a 'Darren Anderton' clause.
A 'top earner' clause that bit Spurs on the arse and nearly made Alan Sugar's head explode.

We are pursueing other centre backs, our spending and selling is not yet over, Dunk could well go to a top six team, its probably a done deal.

Sauce!? Or just utter bollox? I’m going with the latter.

Have them yanks had their way and changed football from a game of two halves to a game of three periods?

If there was a chance of Dunk leaving, why the hell would we also let Goldson go, instead of letting him fight for his place here?

The "match" was played as two 30-minute periods, not 3 periods.

Really!? Not an HGP, so seems unlikely...

Wouldn't that be two 30-minute halves then?

Yep: two 30-minute periods, halves, sections, spells, call them what you will. But TWO and not THREE.

No point in falling for the 'being rested' spin.


It's highly suspicious.

Whether he goes or ends up with a new contract, time will tell.


Doubt he'll play against Nantes either.

Nothing to worry about, its just to ensure that Dunk doesn't go overboard on the patisserie buffet at the hotel

 

[Mancgull]

Quite a few of our players have been nursed through parts of preseason probably due to the toll on the body of high intensity fitness training. If Dunk has any type of strain at all he will be spared two flights when the more important game is on the Friday.

 

[Waynflete]

what if LD stays AND we snaffle LM and MP?
3 at the back to accommodate YB?
eeeh? Eh?

Yossi Benayoun?

This is exactly right. If they thought there was a serious chance Dunk would leave, no way would they have sold Goldson.
