Lewis Dunk to Wolves on season long loan?

[WhingForPresident]

Much as we try unfortunately we cant forget him just hope OG does when it comes to picking a team or bench..

What? Why?!

What? Why?!

Simple he is a joke he cant even stay on his two feet yet alone carry out the basics of football. For those old enough to remember IMHO he is of similar standard and ability as Ashley Neal.

Given that full backs are now in short supply reducing defenders seems high risk unless new faces are certain!

 

[BensGrandad]

The news about Bruno may scupper that loan as we may need to play El Abd at full back and Dunk as the cover for CB, much as I dont like AEA at full back.

 

[BN9 BHA]

Not tonight lads, sorry no trainers.

 

[Uncle Buck]

It would not do him any harm to go somewhere else for a bit.

Too many distractions last season and he does not seem to have kicked on from an encouraging start to his Albion career.

So how many years are you going to give him before he is........as many as Barnes has had?.. they keep saying he is still developing......

Still relatively young. The more experience he gets the better.

Don't start on Barnes he has more than proven his worth since the moment he came on loan. Gus rated him, Garcia started him, 2 premiership teams are alleged to be interested...... Shall I continue?

No please don't, I am filling up here, its not pleasant seeing a grown man weep.

love it. For what it's worth, whilst I agree with your point, regarding development, maybe Dunk just needs a full season of playing.

I suspect his actual 'comfortable' level is league 1.

Without reading every post, will we get a fee (if we can't recall him) and would they pay 100% wages?

Big questions but even if we just get wages paid and he starts plenty of games for experience I'd say go for it

Tommy Elphick is doing himself proud at Bournemouth. Perhaps we should have kept him. Dunk would do well at Wolves.

Captain Elphick, who was an un-used sub for Bournemouth in their first Championship game ?

 

[Perkino]

CB is the one position that we seem to be able to develop youngster for. El-Abd, Elphick, Dunk & Cook. Personally I'd like to see him stay and fight for a place as 2 seasons ago he looked unbelievably good

Utter rubbish. Ince is quality. By no means the finished article, but shows a lot of promise.

And I do remember Ashley Neal!

I usually think you are quite sound in your observations, but couldn't disagree more regarding Ince. Whilst I don't think he is a CB, he is potentially a very good holding midfield player. Strong in the tackle, very sound passer and his heading is ok as well. I have seen him several times now, including twice this season (vs Norwich and Southampton Dev Squad) and each time he has stood out for the reasons outlined.

We gave the ball away less with him on the pitch, than we did when Bridcutt was there against Norwich.

He does look ungainly, but so did Patrick Vieira and that is who he reminds me of. Time will tell I guess......

 

[BensGrandad]

Supporting football is about opinions that is what stimulates the discussions and IMHO Ince is awful and I can fully understand why Chelsea let him go but nobody has to agree and we shall all just wait and see.

Doubt it, they are on the verge of financial armegeddon and have found it very difficult to bring in players during the close season so would expect they'd only be able to afford 30/40% of Dunks wages.

I don't think Wolves are on the brink of 'Financial armegeddon'. They certainly are looking to get high earners off the wage bill, but they need cheaper players to provide some experience to an otherwise young squad - especially after the injuries on Saturday. Dunk would fit in well and his experience of his first season in the Champioship would benefit the vastly-talented, but very young Danny Baath.

With regard to the 'recall' questions, full-season or half-season loans cannot be recalled. Short term (up to 93) day loans depend on the terms of the specific loan arrangement.

 

[Father Jack]

Wolves are trying to offload Stephen Ward, the Republic of Ireland left back, maybe a season long loan deal swap?

Absolutely, and as I say I think most of your observations are sound regarding players and matches. This is in the main what makes NSC a good forum for discussion.
