[Albion] Dunk to Leicester City?

[Thunder Bolt]

Why?

Every player has a price.

Only if another team want to pay that price. Nobody has bid for him.

 

[seagullwedgee]

Sort of right. At least one club has enquired for approval to speak to the player, and failed at that step, one would assume (with or without a formal bid being made) because broad valuations were a distance apart.

Well at least we know one scenario that almost certainly didn’t happen. Cheers.

Not if TB doesn't want to sell.

We have said before that every player has a price.

Stephens? When Burnley wanted him Tony said "No and if we don't go up you can go for free next summer."

In the scheme of things, Burnley were offering peanuts. The value of Stephens helping us get promoted far outweighed the risk of losing him for free, against the offer we had received.
Every player has a price, and that goes to the top of the food chain

Not disagreeing at all just saying that we do not have to sell and Tony has proved before that if it is not in the Clubs interest he won't sell. This close to the window I would imagine he would say something like, give me one more year.

Yet - The money in the prem these days makes it a sellers market and non top 6 teams like palace, Leicester and er us can probably either keep hold of their star player or price them at a preposterous level so that once interested clubs eventually look elsewhere.

Not according to SkySports who are saying the following:

Gary Cahill’s future could depend on whether Manchester United’s lengthy pursuit of Harry Maguire is a success.
Maguire’s move to United would likely prompt a bid from Leicester for Burnley’s James Tarkowski – although Leicester may baulk at the £50m release clause in his contract.
If a deal for Tarkowski to move to the King Power is agreed before next Thursday’s deadline, that would then prompt Burnley to move for 33-year old Cahill, who is available on a free transfer.

Sounds like we can start to ready that captain's armband for next season.

I think the club know Dunk will go if he’s tapped up, hence the huge sums of money for the Bristol guy.

I miss the boring Chris Hughton years already

Alternatively, Potter wants to play 3 at the back in some games and also needs cover. The transfer we're going for then makes total sense.

Who knows?!

I would have thought Dunk might be a decent alternative to Maguire, Leicester seem to think so. I honestly don't think there is too much between them, just that Maguire has a years more PL experience and been playing in a side where he is expected to do more than stay deep and put the block in.

You are also forgetting one is a regular in the England squad

Adding £30m to his value? It's madness!

They didn't bid enough, we wanted him more than they did. Simple

Quickly make his Captain. If he's going taking a teams Captain adds more $$$ to the total.

Balance the cost of relegation with the fee for Dunk less the fee for a quality replacement, then have another think...
