The most curious thing..
Everyone has their price.

No, I doubt it.
Perhaps before transfer deadline day, or only if a replacement has been singed.
As good as Dunk is, if we get £4m+ for him we should sell him but ONLY if we're well on the way to finding a replacement. That said, for all the complaints about the success of our youth system, we do have a very good track record of bringing in first team centre backs. Dunk will not be the last.

So Fulhan would be able to get the players they want before season start, but for us it's very, very, very difficult ?

Funny that?
He's the captain and has an opportunity to play premier league football. More than likely his dream since childhood. I would be amazed if he left them to come to Brighton.

Wouldn't be surprised if Dunk left

Given the limited investment in the squad so far this season there's not a lot to make him stay. We're hardly showing much ambition but perhaps things will change in the next few days. I can't really believe that we'll go into the Forest game with our current side.
Why? The club must have a plan in place if he was to leave. Targets would have been identified. If we got 5m for Dunk and that enabled to get two central defenders in for say 1.5m each, plus got th Marshall deal over the line. We'd still have further money left for additional players. What's not to like about that? I appreciate its getting very late in the day and the start of the season is on us. The sale of dunk could mean we have a much better squad and chances of staying up/promotion.

Can I have some of your happy pills please? Your optimism is admirable.

So Fulham, with their parachute payments are able to get players in?
Less than a week to the start of the season and they are (apparently) still trying to buy Dunk - does that sound like they have done all their transfer window business already? or like us, still looking to strengthen their squad this close to the start of the season?
I say the latter, but it can't be, as that is the stick used to beat the Albion with and i was therefore under the impression that we were unique in leaving it late.

Just four days to go, so leaving it a bit late.
Are you saying that Bournemouth will upset his team mates at Bournemouth by saying that, so we can get him?

We have not signed anyone that will help us create more goals, a 5 year old could tell you that was priority number 1 this close season. So it looks like we go into the new season with the same issues as we finished the last. Those issues meant that our last 6 out of 7 games were goalless and the one game we did score in, I believe was a penalty.
There's a difference between having it all done and ensuring you are adequately equipped to give yourselves a chance of being competitive In August, time will tell but it would seem that the start of this season looks like a Terrible extension of last season. And people have every right to be concerned about that. I pay to watch football and be entertained, watching paint dry would have been more entertaining than watching Brighton at the end of last season.

you really are like a dog with a bone. give it up - we are not going to resign Elphick. or cook.
The evidence from previous high value transfers out of the club is that the money is not re-invested in new players. God (or Ernest) alone knows where the money goes but what makes you think it would be any different if Dunk was sold for big bucks

We are aware that the club have been trying to address this (Marshall, the Iranian lad, etc...)
We didn't have March last season who was injured so that's like having a new signing and hopefully Kaz will be fit all season too.
However that wasn't the point of the post i made, it was to show that Fulham weren't finished either if they are still looking to buy Dunk so they feel their defence is too weak for this season and they haven't been able to recruit for that area yet (just like we haven't with our wingers & cb - and seeing we need a cb, why would we weaken ourselves even further by selling Dunk?)
Reading some peoples posts on here, you'd think we are unique in failing to get all our business done by this stage in pre-season.
