I'm hearing some big BHA news this evening...

[chucky1973]

Dunk could be our new 20 goal striker

 

[Mr Banana]

Gaah the comma in the middle of that first paragraph

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

maybe merge this with the Dunk New Contract thread?.......

 

[1066familyman]

Blimey! really surprised by this piece of news as thought it was a given that he was leaving. This is a really great bit of team news

So where does that leave all the talk of him refusing to play? All just ill informed rumour?, or am I missing something? I'd given up following the story as just assumed the Uwe signing and Dunk not playing was all the evidence needed that he was off anyway.

Edit: Never mind the questions, I'm just catching up at the back and reading the answers now on the other threads

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

Fuq about, did not see this coming. Absolutely smashing news.

 

[MattBackHome]

I am chuffed. Even if this is just to increase his value, great bit of business

BREAKING: Lewis Dunk has signed a new five-year contract with #BHAFC that will run until June 2020. More at http://seagulls.co.uk

Is that it? It's quite good news but …………….. IS THAT IT?

 

[sir albion]

Was hoping for a winger or striker grrrrrrr

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

Everything is working out for the best, at last.

 

[spanish flair]

Dunk could be our new 20 goal striker

We could certainly do with one as I think that is the one missing piece for me now.

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

Wel well well. 4 first class defenders !

Seven

 

[jimbob5]

No it's good they sorted out their differences and he won't be rocking the boat through being unsettles but I mean er …………………. is that the big news then?

 

[Eeyore]

Dunk could be our new 20 goal striker

Exactly, we already have our defence in place.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Wel well well. 4 first class defenders !

Indeed, in fact 5 because young Rae is there as well. This is key to our season and I think that we can perm any 2 from 5 which gives 20 combinations in my book, very very impressive.

As far as I'm concerned he can shove his new contract where the sun doesn't shine.
He has actually REFUSED to play for the team he is contracted to, literally forcing them into extending his contract he only signed an extension to in January.
And there are actually people on here saying " wow great fantastic "
Greed people and disloyalty to the club and fans and some of you think its wonderful FFS

 

[Hampster Gull]

Nice. Now the striker

 

[Wrong-Direction]

Seven

 

[harriri2000]

Looks like GG will be going up north then, the 2 new defenders aren't going to want to sit on the bench plus GG wants to play to try and get/help Scotland to the world cut (or was it euros. Can't remember)

It isn't as simple as that though. If the club weren't comfortable they could have banked £5 mill weeks ago and moved on. Dunk has got to get paid and has every right to push for what he wants.

If we do ever get promoted this saga will be child's play compared to some of the hardball deals we'll necessarily get embroiled with.

 

[GT49er]

That'll be two or three million on the asking price for him then?
