He already is better....far fewer mistakes....Goldson and Uwe next season.
Agree - already better. If Dunk could cut out his 1/2 significant errors he makes every game we'll have a 'PL Ready' pairing

This.
Dunk is undoubtedly a good centre back, but he is always one mistake away from giving away a goal or goal scoring opportunity. Unfortunately those mistakes come too often as he has a rush of blood to the head. The latest incident I can think of was the ridiculous back pass from the Sheffield Wednesday half, that blasted out of play for a corner and put the Albion under unnecessary pressure at a time when we looked like we could concede. It is those sort of poor decisions when he has limited time to decide that can make him a liability at times.
As said though, if he could somehow cut out the glaring errors Goldson and Dunk would make a very formidable pairing, and both have the potential to be future Brighton captains.

Assuming Bruno is not first choice, a back four next season of Rosenior, Goldson, Dunk/Uwe and Bong would be very very good. Dunk needs to be surrounded by players who can do his thinking for him (thinking is not his strong point). Uwe is more solid and reliable Uwe is more dependable and calm
Goldson made his debut as the German got crocked when we were 2-0 down against Boro, 2mins after he trotted on, we were 3-0; he probably had nothing to do with the Stuani header. Roll on a game or two and he scores the winning goal for Wolves against his own club, I still blame Stockdale for not making the call. I can't recall him putting a foot wrong since. Holding on to this lad in the Summer is going to be very tough if we don't go up.

If a Prem League club (unlikely) make a big offer then agreed. If a Champ club do. Then Bloom will pull the stops out to keep him (see: Stephens, Dunk this summer).

Prone to a mistake yes, but also prone to score as proved in the past, he is our only defender who is capable of nodding one in and usually an important goal as well.

Loving Goldson obviously.
However Dunk is still our best Centre half in my opinion, our best footballer and has a terrific passing range.
Goldson and Dunk is the correct pairing this season and going forward.

I agree.
Dunk shades it on long passing and carrying the ball when a team is sitting deep. Plus he's more of a danger from set pieces. But Goldson is pushing him really close (and is already more consistent).
A really great partnership.

Dunk is the better player but prone to the odd error, which he must eliminate if he wants to be a PL player. Goldson is improving game by game. His passing and distribution need work but he is young, still on the upgrade and improving game by game before our eyes. I don't understand the Dunk haters but then they were probably the ones who thought Barnes was crap too....
BFG and Greer would get in most championship sides and IMO we have the strongest options in that area of anyone in this division.

Of the two Dunk is the more physical and puts his body on the line for the side. It is Dunk who takes the centre half role of the pair. Let's see how Goldson continues to develop.

It's a twitter account, apparently for Spurs - which is not surprising considering he's a scout for them: https://twitter.com/scoutsattending?ref_src=twsrc^google|twcamp^serp|twgr^author

I suspect he was scouting for stiletto heels running towards his parked car.
Seriously, if we don't get promotion, I expect big offers to come in for both Goldson and Dunk from PL clubs. Let's face it they are both better than most PL centre backs.
