Unfortunately, as an established Premier League team in 10th place with an outstanding centre back partnership, there are some bigger fish who would happily swap Dunk, Duffy or both for well over £20m.

Yes, clearly established PL team Crystal Palace will be sniffing around.

The pair were truely amazing vs West Ham and have developed an incredible relationship together but when one doesn't play whoever is brought it has seemed to do equally as wonderful a job.
This suggests to me that although they have some excellent qualities as defenders it's the way the team is set up that helps highlight their individual qualities & if we were to sell either I believe CH would find a suitable replacement.
It's similar to how A.Madrid generate outstanding centre forwards, no matter who they sell the next chap gets put into the team and a few seasons down the line he is worth a fortune

A West Ham fan on talksport this morning said it was like watching Ferdinand and Terry playing for England, both put their bodies on the line to block anything going towards our goal.
He also said that Propper and Stephens didn't give them a second on the ball.
I think we could be getting calls in January for one or both. If Dunk moves to Liverpool or similar it will guarantee his place on the plane with England in the summer.

A few West Ham fans would like either or both of them. This will increase as the season progresses and umpteen scouts come looking at these previously unknown players

Even then, surely they are priceless. What could you buy that would be better, even with £60M?

Why do "Fans" want to sell our players all the time. Has the Club shown signs of being a bit skint, do the speculated about players want away? What are we, a retail organisation running on a profit margin or a football Club which more often than not is a pleasure to watch because of the Team.
If they carry on the with the same form, and we got an offer for both. What would be the minimum we would accept for them in today's market?
Just stumbled across this awesome picture of Duffy against Everton on SeagullsPics.com. Absolutely perfect!

60m each upfront extra 10m for Dunk if he lowers himself and players for Engalnd

Depends entirely if we stayed up or not.
If we were relegated then you'd be looking at 20-25m each.
Survival and you can probably add another 15m on that.

They'll both be dribbling care home cases by the time they hit their later years if there's anything in this report. Appreciate that today's balls are lighter than in Astle's day and it's not been categorically proven.

Like it. Saved it.
I forgot to mention this earlier and am surprised nobody else has picked up on it.
After t'Albion Sky went to some Max Rushden guff.
Him in a 'pub' talking through the game with Danny Murphy and Dean Ashton.
Ashton said words to the effect of:-
'Dunk & Duffy weren't that good, West Ham just weren't smart enough to play round them'.

They seem to throw their bodies in the way of oncoming shots in every game. If someone's able to put together a compilation video of all the times Dunk and Duffy put their bodies on the line to block a shot, that would look incredible. Absolute warriors. It's in stark contrast to some players in the premier league who look indifferent about their teams success.
