Sorry if I'm repeating what a million people have said already (I expect I am - apologies for not checking thread) but what still truly amazes me is that the club did not cash in on Dunk. All of the figures quoted above represent some pretty serious spending for a second tier team, and the fact we have turned down what I consider to be very substantial bids for one of our bigger assets points to a level of ambition that many have rightly questioned. It is really great to once again look forward to checking transfer news/fixtures, and it also feels good to have a level-headed leader in Hughton. BHAFC mojo definitely returning for me.
The only offer on the table was Fulham. The only draw for Dunk himself to go to Fulham was money and he probably looked at our decent start to the season and he thought he would get Premiership football.
From the clubs perspective. We need at least 4 decent centre backs if we want to challenge for promotion but I agree, I would have sold him and spent the money on a really prolific striker but who knows. maybe we are going to do both. Keep Dunk and bring in another striker
