Don't be surprised if Dunk is in a Palace shirt by August
Brighton lad, I doubt it.
Don't be surprised if Dunk is in a Palace shirt by August
Approach this from another direction [bare with me]
Imagine you are Brighton manager and you have to pick a team for next Saturday and ALL players are available [ignore injuries and suspensions]
Now, start filling i the team sheet, one name at a time, in order of "must play".
1. Stockdale
2. Dunk
3. Goldson
4 & 5 Stephens & Kayal
6. Bruno
7. Knockaert
Then I'd pause to consider
a) LB
b) 2nd winger or extra mid-fielder
c) 2 x striker options
I accept the 1-7 can change in order but I don't think any of the other squad players would push into the first 7.

Only if you're willing to offload Bolasie to us + £15 mill + offer Dunky 3x his current wagesDon't be surprised if Dunk is in a Palace shirt by August
Maybe, you'll need a replacement for Danns when he goes to a better club.Don't be surprised if Dunk is in a Palace shirt by August

Dunk and Goldson will be in demand, but central defenders are not as difficult to replace as someone like Knockaert, IMO. Although we have some good wingers, they're not like him.In my mind there are five key people we need to hang on to this summer, and if we do then I'm sure this season will be a springboard for the next.
Hughton, Dunk, Goldson, Kayal, Stephens
No shit Sherlock
I'm pretty sure the rest will stay if we want, Knockaert and Skalak have only just got here and in any case, are easier to replace (March, Murphy, etc).
Liverpool fan isn't he?Dunk is an albion fan
He bleeds blue and white
He would never NEVER sign for palace.
Injured until December so not an issue until the January window.And Solly March.
As with LuaLua he may return only half the player he was, but let's hope.
I, for one, won't be.Don't be surprised if Dunk is in a Palace shirt by August
We will need AK and a fit rejuvenated Solly March to run at defenders when a team parks the bus. Was it not said SM wont be back to 1st6 team standard until Christmas so plenty of opportunity for our wingers to shine before then.

b) 2nd winger or extra mid-fielder - Skalak / March / Murphy / LuaLua / Sidwell / Towell
