£10m is rather a lot for an England U21 or is this the going rate now days ?

Signing a young centre back for that amount of money can only mean one of ours are expected to leave either this month or in the summer. Had it been a 32 year old experienced CB I could understand to allow Goldson to go out on loan for game time but not a 20 year old.

This would make a lot of sense. You would imagine, if we are expecting to lose Dunk in the summer, and letting Goldson go out on loan for the rest of this season, bedding in a future England prospect, as one of the 4 first team CBs is a solid long-term investment in the squad. Haven't seen much of Worrall but heard many good things. Fingers crossed on this one!

So the Nottingham Post writes a few words about something the Daily Mail has written about something no-one has commented upon - and very likely made up.

As Dusty Springfield once sang - 'It may be false, it may be true, but newspapers really do need to stop fabricating stories just for the sake of gullible clickbait.' Dusty at her finest.

Thats a very cynical approach perhaps because somebody knows more about the clubs dealings than you wherever they got their info from be it Forest or Brighton

Perhaps we will sign him and loan him back to Forest for the season so that he continues to play and get experience.

I’d imagine if we sign him it’ll still be Goldson that goes out on loan and Worrall would remain with squad. Presumably he’s young enough to not take up a squad position in the 25?

Edit. Maybe loaning Goldson to Florist could be a sweetener?

We all saw what happened with Dunk. If you hesitate or are put off by the asking price it's likely in a couple of seasons time you'll live to regret it. We should definitely be using our increased revenue and profile to be signing players like this and the striker from Aston Villa.

It looks like we are in for the 20 year old center back who is currently at Nottingham Forest.

Has anyone seen or heard much of him?

I heard on the grapevine the other day, that Liverpool had put in a bid last week for Dunk believed to be in the region of 30 to 40million.

With a caveat that he would then be loaned back to us for the rest of the season.

No proof at all, but seemed quite logical with the money they have and if we are in for the Forest chap.

I think Dunk would be a perfect for for them.

Anyone would have more information than I have, because I don't know anything about this. But as you should know, that's totally irrelevant.

It's more cynical to post speculation. The Nottingham Post story doesn't even state we are keen - it says 'we are said to be keen' (my italics) - a textbook get-out-of-gaol line, which makes out they are repeating someone else's non-attributable story. If there was any hard truth in the story, a professional journalist would be able to get some direct quotes from at least one of the parties involved. Unsurprisingly, there are none.

Of course, there may be some truth in the story - but the language used comes with so many caveats, twists and turns, it's seriously at risk of agreeing with itself.

Following this logic, unsubstantiated rumours in the tabloids should be ignored (as most of them are complete rubbish) and BG's entire concept of reality would implode.

How do those lyrics fit into "I only wanna be with you"?

"It happens to be clickbait, I only wanna tell the truth"?

Really?

I have heard that a deal for Dunk to Arsenal is all but announced. I didn't want to put a thread on here as in the past I have been shot down.

Why the hell would Dunk leave if we're supposedly shipping out Goldson to Ipswich. And what of Ben White's career? A candidate for POTS at Newport.The transfer window is a cluster**** of misinformation.
