Todays Metro - Lewis Dunk - Chelsea - £5m - blah blah (merged)

[vulture]

Says Chelsea are also scouting lewis dunk.......

 

[Robot Chicken]

Well, the top sides will always cherry pick the smaller sides. It would be completely irresponsible if they didn't scout him, surely!

£5m mentioned. That'll be hard to turn down.

"plus loan players to sweeten the deal"

"Arsenal and Fulham had scouts watching Dunk in last week's Carling Cup defeat to Liverpool." Well they're certainly top-notch scouts if they can tell how good a player someone is simply by the way he sits in the stand watching. Given that howler I wonder how accurate the rest of the story is?

Torres could do a job !

just read it, Gus has been talking him up and quite rightly so based on the reports I've read and the 2 games that were live on Fox last week, would love to see him stay though.

A mate of mine does a bit of youth scouting for Arsenal and was asked to arrange a meeting with Dunk and his family last week.

Ohh, controversial. A bit of tapping up!

And also found this on the Metro website, funny for those of us who went to Portugal.

If we did get a chelsea player on loan I'd hope for it to be a defender.
I hear that JT is quite good?

 

[chucky1973]

The new chief scout at Chelsea in charge of kids from 15-18 knows Dunk from his previous clubs and from when one of Dunks family members was a manager at a County One side when a fellow Dunk played. That may be the reason why they are now linked.

 

[Mendoza]

Maybe we can get £5million and they can loan him straight back to us.

If he went to Chelsea, he'd never play for 2 or 3 years.

If he is worth £5million, Sol Bamba must be worth at least £15million

 

[Lewes Seagull]

If he does leave, will we have to slam Dunk?

Is that the one who stamped on LuaLua?

 

[BigGully]

Not sure who Dunks official agent is, however Poyet has given Dunk more credible coverage and praise than most, after only a handful of games.

I cannot help thinking that Poyet/Bloom could keep him here for now, but hope he doesnt use Dunk as part of a package for both to move on together !!

If that Oxlaide-Chamberlain (sp) is worth £15million, Dunk is worth at least 5... Then again Benno would have been worth £10million on that basis.
