Dunk

[dazzer6666]

Whatever the price, would have to be cash in advance

 

[JJ McClure]

Easily our best centre half despite a sticky spell, which he has come out of nicely.

A dodgy back pass that could've led to a penalty against Brentford plus losing Heskey for Bolton's first goal at the weekend suggests he's not out of that sticky spell yet.

 

[GingerBeerMan]

£5m isn't expensive for a decent 24 year old English center back, I'd say it's at least the going rate. Dunk should look at what happened to Bridcutt before making any rash decisions though.

 

[beorhthelm]

i would hope being a local lad he'd reject such a move. its one thing for a journeyman from the north to go up the road after a sniff of cash, quite another for a lad born and raised in Brighton. anyway, im sure if Palace want to pay x then there are other clubs willing to pay similar.

 

[Saturn]

I wouldn't blame him if he did move to a PL team as it's in his interest to do that. I'd probably expect a little more than £5m but not too much.

 

[Rogero]

Palace will be in the Championship next season if their form carries on.

Am I missing something...I thought the window had closed...how can CP sign Dunk?

I think the key is in the article where it says he is.wanted to revamp their squad next season

There will continually be stories in the Press linking Lewis Dunk to other teams

WHY ?

Because I would guess he has an Agent who uses this tactic to keep his clients in the spotlight.

There is a little bit of a ''love-in'' and a ''love-out'' with other Brighton fans.

I actually think that the ones who love Lewis Dunk, actually love that fact that he is a Home Grown player, who came through the ranks of the Youth System more than a real love of his talent. There is no doubt that he is a decent player but a £5 million defender, in my opinion he is not. Every player makes mistakes but for me Lewis makes bad decisions sometimes.

These stories will continue into the summer and to be honest I hope they do because it will drive his price up and then what I would do would be to sell him and buy a better decision making defender, regardless of Promotion or not because his Agent is definitely driving for a move away from Brighton for his client

 

[WonderingSoton]

The fact that he has such up and down spells here, suggests that the Championship is likely his level. Maybe a lower PL club will take a punt, and if they did then they have the cash to buy big. But in reality this is his level, and if we do get promoted we may well upgrade/replace him ourselves anyway.

Spot on.

No thats GOLDSON

Not yet...as promising as he is.

 

[mona]

All defenders make mistakes. Stones and Cahill do in the PL. Rio Ferdinand was notorious for losing concentration. Dunk is a real talent despite making some errors. He has the athleticism of a PL centre back. My worry about him is that he's too quiet but I still think he's one of the best centre backs in the division.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Typical Palarse, we start doing well and they want to stir it

 

[Monsieur Le Plonk]

Not yet...as promising as he is.

I am not so sure. In fact, when all fit I'd partner Goldson with the Honeymonster.

 

[dadams2k11]

He might decide too if we dont go up seeing as he won't have to up root his family.

 

[brightonrock]

At the rate they pay, we shouldn't settle for less than £500m.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Indeed. Goldson is club captain in waiting. Mark my words. Beram maybe when GG hangs up his boots which cant be far off now. But if Goldson is here in 2 years time he will get the armband.

Yep. Shown he is every bit as good as Dunk and without the brain dead mistakes.

Will Dunk be interested in a step back down to the Championship next season?
