Tim Ream and Dwight Gayle, hopefullyCan't help but wonder how literal Kit Symons was being in his post match interview about how VERY close they are to a signing... :
'Asked what the latest was on the transfer front, Symons replied in his post-match press conference: “We’re very close to a couple but until they’re done I won’t name names. We’re very, very close to one and hopefully close to another as well.'
Not if they want the £5m. I don't think sentiment comes into it. All players will end up as memories and in reality it is a cattle market, and probably has to be thought of that way.
Just enjoy them whilst they are here and then the next ones.
Wishing Dunk well at the huge club he is at now, and the inevitable England call up.So at post 361 we have established:
There is no evidence to suggest that Lewis Dunk refused to play.
There is no evidence that an offer has been accepted.
I wonder where we will be at post 722.
Was doing his medical. Obviously. Its the only reasonable conclusion to draw.
He was only jokingYou do realise a medical last around 3 hours don't you?
or perhaps they don't want the £5m but would rather use him in a promotion push that if successful, sees him in the Premier league with us or if not, could see the club net £8-10m from his continued improvement.
Did we miss him today?
Agree. Dunk is also huge and might have one a couple of headers against Smith. Watching back on the highlights i can see Uwe got caught out a few times.Might have done? We had ten corners that all came to nothing.
I don't think we could get as many as 3, mostly because that would be 3 players wages, all of whom would probably be on more than Dunk is now. And I'm not sure how many would get a regular starting position, our first 11 isn't too shabby (inc Murphy).But we could buy 3 or 4 good players for the money to ensure we have the squad to get promoted. We have shown good recruitment ability this summer so I am confident on that side of things. £5m is a lot of money.
Which 3? Dunk played against Forest.Played 3 won 3 without Dunk, cash in and move on.

fair bit on social media re " dunk gone"...it's a massive shame that he want's to leave , if true...!! if the club want to cash in on him to build the squad then that is also a shame as he is a local lad and probable future captain....anyway , it's a funny old game.....!!
