I was thinking exactly the same. I guess we'll see how Goldson does on Monday but if he impresses again then it might be worth trying and seeing if we do cut out the set piece goals against. They were great together a couple of seasons ago.

[Albion] Dunk 'a top-four defender if ever I saw one'

I've never heard of this "bulk standard". Is it the same as "bog standard" ?
Strange thing to say considering the rest of the 1st choice line up, ( inc a few improvements), almost won the championship last season
Yeah, in BG language

No he is a bulk, large fellow and he is a standard Premier defender who does well but makes mistakes.
City bought Stones, Utd bought Jones and Smalling , admitted all of them a while ago, and none by the present managers,but, how many fit the same criteria now, are available, and good enough. I can see Dunk going at the end of the season for 35 mil, plus.
To say we would sell him now, for £20 mil, is pure nonsense,btw, he still has 4 1/2 on his contract
(The above is with the caveat, that we are relegated, I'm not convinced he will go anyway if we stay up)

Who is better than him and I have only listed the young English players: Maguire. Keane, Mawson and Lascelles. All of the top 6 possibly with the exception of Arsenal, which is debatable, have better but they may look at him for the future but most on here still see him as a young lad. He is now 26 years old so nearing his peak age as a footballer. I would be happy to not consider selling him and let him see out his contract with us.

In terms of his sale value he may have a release clause in his contract which forces the club's hand.

I'm surprised you think any of Keane, Mawson or Lascelles are better than him, to be honest. I do think he is a group of young British defenders who have a lot of promise, and that includes Maguire, Tarkowski, Ake, Stones, Keane and Mawson, and I think Dunk is their equal at least. Certainly bodes well for the national team
Whoosh!

According to reports in the press Southgate has put Tarkowski and Mee of Burnley ahead of him in the race for an England cap. I am not sure that I agree but he is the one who decides. He does not appear to be that impressed with Dunk and he was a CB.

I think its more that Southgate values experience in big games, in the premier league and european football, and Dunk is still a novice. Tarkowski and Mee are in their second or third season in the premier league

That may be but they are still ahead of him in the pecking order.
Ake has no chance of getting an England call up.

It's unfortunate for Dunk that there's so many good English centre backs at the moment. Harry Maguire in particular looks quality.

Garth Crooks is such a moron. By saying Hughton would drive Dunk to Anfield himself for £45m, that implies that £45m far exceeds his value, which it doesn't.

It does if you compare it to what City paid for Stones, Everton for Keane and Leicester for Maguire

Hey Garth, don't worry about it. 99.99% of all Brighton fans find you deadly dull
I wouldn't just limit that to Brighton fans!
