Neither of them have had enough game time to make a judgement on. Very few players are so good that you can drop them in to a handful of games in a season and expect a 100% performance out of every game. Vast majority of players will need to get a run of games before they can hit peak form on a consistent basis, and these two haven't had that opportunity.

Really, I'm not sure we even have the CBs to play it...

Agree with those factors,but it's essentially kissing goodbye to any chance of bigger teams that he must surely have his eye on. Arrive at Leicester and he's probably not going to move on again within a season or two, making him probably too old for a top six club to be interested. All conjecture obviously, and he could show real ambition and sign for either Leeds or Sheffield Wednesday tomorrow.

No, you are spot on PG... if Dunk goes, then he should be looking for Big 6, not Leicester IMHO... and, yes, Leicester are a bigger club than us...
Strongly feel Dunk will be a Gunner next season ..... and Duffy to Leicester

You did imply it:
Arguing that 'Next season is looking like obvious relegation, which is something we could not say before our managerial switch...' implies that the sacking of CH is the deciding factor in whether we stay up or not. You've then gone on to contradict yourself and state how it was in fact a lack of transfer dealings and the quality of players that we were being linked with (despite it only being the second week in June) that meant we were
and I was merely asking how your initial assertion that switching manager meant 'Next season is looking like obvious relegation', implying that sacking CH is the main reason for our 'obvious relegation', bares any relevance to our apparent lack of transfer dealings transfer dealings in comparison to other teams, that you're simultaneously saying is the main reason for our 'obvious relegation'.

They don't...
Oh, I doubt that but you never know! I bet they got a lot less than the £4m Blackburn got for him and it'll cost them 7-8 times that to get him back!

It was an utterly daft thing to say. We have a better squad than Burnley, let alone the promoted teams.

I think that sacking a manager who kept us up twice and replacing him with someone who's never done anything in English football will likely send us down, yes.
However, my gripe at this time is that we don't even seem to be close to signing anyone, let alone having done so already. And the players report back this week to meet the new boss. Then full training in two weeks.
The clock is ticking.
