[Albion] Dunk makes Garth Crook's team of the season

[raymondo]

I know it's only Garth but ... we do have threads on his teams sometimes.
So, extremely well done Dunky!!! Quite an accolade IMHO.

 

[Newick Seagull]

Do we agree with Garth's valuation ? . . . . "If any of the big six have any sense whatsoever they should get their chequebook out immediately. He's worth £30m of anyone's money in the current financial climate"

Warren reckoned £40 million and big 6 only earlier today. £30 is a bargain.

 

[cjd]

That can't be right....there are no Palace players in the team.

 

[Djmiles]

£30m? I’d drive him there for that amount. Enough to buy a few decent players, that!

For 30 quid, can we sign him for next year's REMF team?

 

[martin tyler]

Garth isn’t exactly a fountain of knowledge but nice to see he recognises the talent dunk is and that he is the only one outside the top 4 mentioned. He’s good enough to play top 6 and in Europe if one of them Are prepared to gamble on him. Been an honour to watch him this year in the PL

The M is for million. Reckon we would batter palace in the REMF match though if we could add him in.

Which m is that then?

 

[HastingsSeagull]

£40M seems more like it in today's crazy world.

We have CG as back-up but it's not easy to find a replacement even with money. Make him Captain and keep him!

we would batter them 0 - 0

Has to be worth half what van dyke went for

 

[Frankie]

Doesn't really matter which pundit has him in their team of the season really but when you look at the players in that line up and you then see Dunks name in their it's a little surreal , if Liverpool were prepared to pay 76 million pounds for Van then god knows what Dunk is worth , to Brighton he is priceless and unless the player himself wanted to go there's absolutely no way Mr Bloom would sell , why would he , we're not a have to sell club anymore .

 

[Raskolnikov]

I thought it was Duffy who had made the most blocks and Dunk was second?

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

It's a tricky one.
On the one hand £40 million + is very difficult to turn down for the club, business wise it is a massive profit.
On the other hand we not only have a very good defender but he is from Brighton, he knows the club inside out he is a perfect fit, these players don't come along often.
I really like Goldson, but could he step into Dunks shoes?
If not then unless we got lucky a quality replacement won't leave us much change from £40M

Dragovic - £2m LEI
Mavropanos - £2m ARS

What you can say is that the big clubs are all spending £30m+ on centre backs, apart from Arsenal. You would imagine their new manager will be looking to strengthen their defence and it wouldn't be a great surprise to see Dunk as a main target for them.

 

[Simster]

Everyone knows he is class, except Gareth Southgate who seems to believe Alfie Mawson is better.

We probably overrate him, but even so, we are in big trouble if Crooks is to be believed. If Dunk goes to the WC (and it's still not out of the question), plays a blinder, he'll be off. And then we'd need a replacement who is unlikely to be remotely as good...

 

[Doc Lynam]

Zouma at 7m! Looked like being a fabulous player at Chelsea, hope he’s not touched with the Titus Bramble!

You forgot John Stones at about £48m

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

You forgot John Stones at about £48m

That list shows CB transfers for the 17/18 season, Stones didn’t move in the 17/18 season that’s why he isn’t in the list.
