How high can Lewis Dunk go?

[fly high]

I'd like to say one day he'll be good enough for England one day but there seems to be a wealth of top quality young England players already playing in Prem & staking a claim for Ferdinand's jersey so may not get a look in.

I dont think he has had that many cards.....

A few for starters i recall he has taken a yellow " for the team " from a poor pass too him.

He is currently the most booked player in the division on 7 - but you are right, I can think of a couple of occasions where he was sold short and 'took one for the team'. And I expect him to be able to iron out some of the needless ones, it's potential he's all about, and the important attributes.

He will be world player of the year in 2016 leading england to Euro 2016 and Arsenal to the Premiership and Champions League Double before signing on for Barcelona where a broken leg and other injury problems will hamper the rest of his career

He will return for a farewell spell with us in 2020 before retiring early because of injuries

Needs a rest, one minute a good pass the next a poor one. Sat. he allowed a free header in our box but we got away with it because they were so poor.

Shut up, fatty. Them running out of pies on Saturday was a blessing for you... x

How bloody dare you

Some of his passing on Saturday was pretty crisp. The floor-cutting, cross-field, arrow-like ping (as it's technically known) to Calderon on several occasions was one of our more effective routes forward.

Still, as of a week ago, we can no longer call him a promising teenager.

Apart from the appaling one that should have cost us a goal (just after Greers similar one)

Lower - Mid Prem

Lewis Dunk has been a real bonus for the Albion at a time when most of our summer signings have contributed very little. If the season ended now he'd get my Player Of The Year.

I think he'll play for a bottom half Prem team within 3 seasons, hopefully that will be us!

Him, Noone and Bridcutt the 1-2-3. Even at this stage, hard to see anyone else getting a look-in unless they get injured or leave.

You continually spout this particular line of nonsense. Seriously, what an odd thing to maintain. If he was so poor on Saturday, why is it that the man mountain Clive Platt, and the highly rated Lukas Jutkeweicz failed to win a single meaningful header all game?

Because they were both very poor as were the crosses into them and those that got anywhere near him Vincelot took as he is excellant in the air. Just compare his l ability in the air with that of the 2 Coventry central defender who were excellent at attacking the ball. The goal they conceeded was pulled back away from the area the central defenders where covering and look how Vincelot powered it home.

I do like Dunk, and it would be nice to think he can make it in the Premier League HOWEVER lets not get too excited. Remember how everyone claimed Paul McShane was clearly destined for the top after his one season on loan with us?

And now he's playing for Barnsley having failed to get in the side of his parent club Hull City.

Usually only makes the bench as he did against us. This was having been a bright propect when we signed him on loan from Man Utd.

Dont get me wrong I think Dunk is a tremendous prospect but dont lets get carried away that he is the best thing since sliced bread he is still learning and has faults, and points that need improving, obviously.

 

[BensGrandad]

sorry duplicate post.

 

[Tooting Gull]

I don't remember anyone ever saying Paul McShane was destined for the top. He looked what he is, a Championship defender. I remember him for 'that goal', and improving a shaky back line, that's about it.

 

[BensGrandad]

Man U rated him very highly and he was in the Ireland side at a young age.

They rated him so highly that...they let him go and hardly ever played him.

 

[BensGrandad]

Obviously didnt meet their expectation but was their expectation any higher than ours of Dunk taking into account we are midtable in The Championship and they are /were a top four team in the Premiership.

 

[folkestonesgull]

mcshane is a lower prem team type defender though, old fashioned centre back. Dunk is a different class of player....i can see him going far
