Dunk - Refusing to play?

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

No we won't.

If he doesn't start it doesn't mean it is because he has refused.

Does it suggest we've agreed a sale, to be announced after the game?

I dont think we got the german for long term greer replacement or to warm the subs bench. Dunk to leave, big money, a good chunk of which has already been invested. Two more to come in, probably loans. There. Done

Agree Everton,Newcastle or Fulham?

There are three possibilities:

- He starts
- He's a sub
- He's not in the 18

I'm not sure we could read anything definite in any of them.

The second or third could simply mean that Hughton considers his mind not fully focused, for example, which would be quite understandable I think.

according to an article on Fulham fans forum they are bidding for a defender from Brentford after "missing out on Lewis Dunk"

I guess not, what I meant was that at 2pm we'll know if he's playing or not.

They're chasing Tarkowski from Brentford and Ream from Bolton. Hopefully they've given up on Lewis.

I think the biggest surprise/bonus will be if he starts. If Hughton is in any doubt about Dunk's focus I'm pretty sure he'd bench him, especially with Uwe now here.

Not sure. But hugely disappointed if its outisde Premier league

Hope they're right. Stay put or Prem for Dunky....

Agreed. If I were to bet I'd be going for the "bench" option, but I have no inside information behind that.

I hate rumours like these. For what it's worth, I can't see Dunky throwing his toys out of the pram a la Bridcutt.

If he wants to go he wants to go. Fair play to the lad. 90% of this board would do the same for their family if offered double or triple their current salary at another job.

If there was no prospect of an increase here most would want to take the pay rise, but that doesn't mean we'd refuse to play, that's a different ball game.

Hunemeier looking likely to start based on his comments on Twitter so guess it's goodbye Lewis and we are no further forward in developing the squad

Dunks money will of funded his replacement , Murphy and hemed so can't mind that .

Did / does anyone really think we've splashed 4m this week from a budget that isn't involving selling players . Would be great to think so and shows bloom going for it but let's be realistic . It's unlikely .

Dunk going we can still get a cb and another winger/ striker . It's still good and dunk isn't / won't be the coming of the Lord . With the media frenzy it Seems to of turned him above what he is . . . A decent championship standard English cb

If we had to sell Dunk to fund those players, I'd think we'd sell him first. We haven't accepted a bid for him yet, but we've already gone through the bidding process, player negotiations, medicals etc of these other players, which suggests we don't have to sell him.

Indeed, if he goes we could have enough to strengthen elsewhere too, we aren't necessarily relying on his sale for the work already done.

The bonus money from Ulloa covered Murphy plus Bobby's extra wages, Buckley's fee covers Hunemeier and Hemed. Why do we need to sell Dunk to finance anything? I've not even mentioned the Barnes, Bridcutt or main Ulloa fees.

And if we sell anyone, sure we sell JFC first?
