[Albion] Dunk to Leicester City?

[Muzzy]

Didn't he refuse to play for a couple of games because he wouldn't let him go?

I would be very surprised if Lewis ever refused to play for us in a bid to get a move.
If a top 6 club cake in for his services then of course he would have a huge decision to make.
I don’t think he is too 6 quality so I think he will stay.
That’s my hunch fwiw

 

[Rogero]

Why start a thread without substance?

 

[Arthur]

Hmmmm, I can't see him being here more than another season, if that.

If Lewis does have the ambitions you mention in your previous post then you'd think he'll have ambitions to get back into the England squad. Clearly not going to happen here so I could see him going this summer.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Yup. Surely if he did move on it would be to a club where he at least had a chance of winning trophies.

Apparently not if some of the patronising posts on here would suggest.

 

[DavePage]

Just maybe, its because of substance that some of these threads get started

Dunk to Arsenal, £25m

There is a 'level' between relegation fodder and 'trophies'

Dunk to Arsenal, £25m

The club value him at £50-£60m

 

[Easy 10]

My biggest fear would be losing Dunk AND Duffy, sold together to someone as a unit, a ready-made CB partnership. If Leicester lost Maguire then they'd probably be in the market for a couple of CB's, being as Wes Morgan is 46 and Jonny Evans is a bit of a crock waiting to happen.

 

[Jesus Gul]

Think I'll start a thread on how I'd love to see Antoine Griezmann at the albion.

He'd be a benchwarmer behind Gareth Bale

 

[Mellotron]

That a big six club would be interested in Dunk

Is it that ridiculous? No one's saying he'd waltz into their side - teams do buy squad players too. Is Shkodran Mustafi or Chris Smalling really that much better than Lewis Dunk?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

The club value him at £50-£60m

I don't doubt they do, you tend to look at it differently when his agent is telling you his head's turned, it's the end of July and you're resigned to losing him and need a replacement sharpish, I'd say £25m, possibly £30m tops.

 

[Mellotron]

Why start a thread without substance?

Why do you assume he hasn't heard anything?

 

[Eeyore]

The club value him at £50-£60m

He'll be here forever then.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Leicester is a step up for Dunk. £35m and maybe we'd get talking.

 

[Marshy]

They would double his wages or close to it.... If Maguire goes for 60M I would want 45m of it for Dunk if he pushed the move.

 

[Birdie Boy]

I'm thinking £40m and Leicester is a medium step up, rather than a big one.

 

[Djmiles]

£30m and I’ll drive him up there myself.

 

[Mellotron]

Suggesting Leicester is a side step is nonsense. Clearly a bigger, better side than us atm.

Infrastructure suggests that if things go very well, we could be near their level in a few years (i.e. 7th-10th). But we're still some way from that right now.

 

[Simster]

The question is: which statement is most ridiculous?

That a big six club would be interested in Dunk
or Leicester (PL winners three years ago) would be a sideways step?

It's a tough one

I'd agree with this if you replaced "big six" with "top five". Of the big six, I think Arsenal might actually be interested in someone like Dunk. Their defence has been an issue for 2 seasons and if it wasn't for the accuracy of their front 2, they'd be miles off the pace for a Champions League spot.


But otherwise, fully agree. Of course a move to Leicester is progression for him, in the same way Gordon Greer moving to us from Swindon was!
