[Albion] Dunk to Leicester City?

[blue-shifted]

Clearly this seems to be being strongly reported, but there seems to be a few links in the chain and if any one of those goes wrong then the transfer collapses. There are a few known unknowns.

Such as

Can Man U finance £80million for Maguire without selling Pogba?
Would Leicester definitely prefer Dunk than Tarkowski? Are they both linked as part of a cluster style policy Leicester have.
Do Leicester have any other targets who haven't been reported?
Would or could Tony Bloom just refuse point blank to sell under any circumstances?

This transfer story is highly plausible and I'm sure Lewis would jump at the move, but there's no reason to think it's a formality. Another possibility is that this has alerted other clubs to his availability and so he goes somewhere else

Thought so, no evidence.

There’s going to be some FANTASTIC backtracking, excuses, recriminations and I told you sos on this thread in a week or two. I’m going to get the popcorn now before it sells out.

If Dunk does go I will be as pissed off as everyone else. I’m just saying that I’ve had it, on impeccable authority, that this is what went down.

If I’m wrong or lying...I’ll have to live with the shit. I’m not lying.

What or who went down??

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I know nothing, just for the record.

Latest on the Maguire to Man Utd or City is that oddly Maguire wants to go if Leicester get a bid that meets their valuation. Currently thats being quoted as £80-90m.
But he will be "professional" if a bid doesn't come in. Which at that price - it might well not.
Originally via John Percy but now all over the transfer rumour spaces.

Zahahaha again?

I reckon if the money on offer is good enough TB will take it and reinvest. At the end of the day Brighton are a selling club and always have been. Hopefully the Clarke is the next defensive gem

You're slightly misquoting the tweet. Maguire doesn't say he'll be professional but LCFC expect him to be if bid doesn't meet their valuation. He could still throw his toys out of the pram!!!

Every club is a selling club, even Real and Barca sell to each other on rare occasions.

this highlights a flaw in the thinking. i reckon the club, manager and fans would want a bit more return from Pogba sale than a £80m defender.

Bloom doesn’t exactly live up to this assumption though does he. When did we last sell a first choice player ?

Clue - it was over 5 years ago.

I don't want Dunk to leave, but if we were to get £45+ million it would be a very difficult business decision to decline, whatever loyalties are involved.

 

[portlock seagull]

I’m astonished that Utd want Maguire in the first place. If they want to pay £80 million then good luck to them, let’s have half of that for Dunk and find someone for half that again who’s nearly as good. I’m sure there are plenty regardless of how inflated the market is. We can’t turn that sort of offer down because Dunk will want to go given he’ll make many millions from a deal that size. Excellent piece of business all things considered.

Half? Bollox to that - three quarters (75%) minimum. Not a penny or a 1% less.

you think Dunk is worth £60million not the £45million reportedly bid?

His worth to our team is 100 million +. That's how much staying up is worth to us and Dunk is a big part of why we've stayed up so far.

He might be worth 45 million to another team, worth far more to us.
