How has Bridcutt managed to slip underneath everyone's radar? Not that I'm complaining or anything, I just thought he'd have drummed up a bit of interest as well...

Very much fixtures. Did find this though, which I haven't seen mentioned..

Fulham and Aston Villa are considering a January move for Brighton defender Lewis Dunk - Football News - Football - Sport - People.co.uk

FULHAM and Aston Villa are keeping tabs on Brighton defender Lewis Dunk, with a view to a January move.

The 19-year-old centre-half has made a great start to the season after injuries to team-mates paved the way for a run in the first team.

The Premier League pair will continue to monitor the former Brighton youth-team captain’s progress at the Amex Stadium before the transfer window opens, although both know he will not come cheap.

Seagulls boss Gus Poyet does not want to lose Dunk and will demand at least £1.5million, which could prove too costly for Fulham and Villa.

Figure probably plucked from thin-air, but you'd hope we'd set his price at a bit higher than that.

It could be true, rumour has it that Wenger likes them young

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Saw that myself,yet why go there ? We are a better option.

I hope we don't get the "can't stop the lad taking a chance of premiership football" line again.

this....... but if he does go, it can't be January, unless we can loan back and club must insist on certain appearance and sell on clauses.

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Cos that's what Arsenal really need, an inexperienced defender. Good thinking, Arsene.

Dunk has been immense this season, and huge credit goes to the steadying influence of Greer. Arsenal have no equivalent.

1.5 million i would bloody well hope not,to be fair its dunk's first full season this season so should stay for another couple of years.

 

[SeagullinExile]

If we get offered silly money we have to take it, the lads quality and we shouldn't stop him going to the Prem, especially Arsenal...reckon we'd get £5 mill plus add ons...imagine what we could do with that in the transfer window? I'd want him to stay, but quality defenders are easier to replace than say a top striker imo, especially at Championship level. Look on the bright side...at least we'd have him till January!

Woops...sorry!

£1.5M!?

If Oxlade is up to £15M, I think around £8M is fair.

What did Bale, and Smalling go for?

Definitely this...we should hold out for top dollar.

 

[Muzzman]

If we carry on in the same rich vein of form to the end of the season we can expect quite a few clubs to come sniffing around for our players. It's a by product of having success unfortunately.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

We are now in the Championship , our best players are worth more so we should be knocking back bids for Dunky that are less than £5M.

 

[Slippery Seagull]

If he's gonna go, let him go. But do a deal to sell in jan, and immediate loan back til end of season. Win win

 

[Simon Morgan]

He's probably already better than Mertesacker and Koscielny.

 

[The_Real_SussexSeagull123]

hope we keep him

 

[finlaych]

Would be disappointed if we got any less then £8,000,000 to be honest

Arsenal obviously don't need an inexperienced defender, hence Wenger will probably try and sign him.
