Lawrenson: "teams at that level". I don't think i've ever known such a disrespectful ex-player considering he had such a good career boost with us.

We were a stepping stone for him. He is a Preston and Liverpool fan, no surprise from me that he doesn't hold us that dear.

Why would we sell a player to a rival outside the top 6.

I would see this as the same as Stephens and Burnley, the club will hold firm and it would take an absolute silly offer from West Ham for it to happen.

I don't have any issues with the article, as it basically comes down to Dunk could double his wages if he moved to West Ham, but some players are very loyal. Yes West Ham may want Dunk, but wanting and getting are very much different

I see nothing disrespectful there? We are a bottom 10 PL team.

He hasn't commented on the rumour itself regarding West Ham laugh, just that he's not surprised there's interest.

Fixed.

I would have thought outside the top 6 West Ham is one of the few that A. Would Spend silly money and B. Pay him a fortune.

Its not beyond the realms of possibility, another contract beckons for Mr Dunk I would think... he must have had 3 in the last 2 years....

Money. West Ham could easily spend silly money on a player. Managed correctly, at team level and board level, they could quite easily get back to being a top 10 club, not in a relegation battle.

Haha what a pointless exclusive. He’s definitely gone when someone coughs up 30m.

Looking at it objectively, I can't find fault in his view.

Can't see us selling Dunk to West Ham though.

What an a***

 

[beorhthelm]

i would like to hope a local lad would value playing for his home team, with large pay cheque, over a bigger pay cheque at a mid table team.

Actually if you listen to the chat he had with the Albion Roar earlier this season you'll hear that Lawro holds us in very high regard indeed and has many happy memories of his time here, he even used the term 'us' at some point.

As for the West Ham rumours, Dunk can do better. Yes he'd get pots of cash but it would still be a poor team. I expect Dunk to go and Goldson to replace in the summer, but I think Lewis will find a better landing spot than the hammers.

 

[Sheebo]

No problems with what he said, except the 'double wages' guesswork re West Ham. I do have an issue with a former player / the gutter press making non-stories like this as it could distract players as they all see this type of shit in this day and age. Hopefully not though.

If Dunk goes, I hope it's to a better TEAM than West Ham - as we're about as good as them at present.

Sullivan and Gold aren't exactly renowned for splashing the cash.

They spend cash alright, just really badly! One of the highest wage bills in the league for absolutely minimal return. It costs them a lot to be the bad.

Have a look on their forum.

The general consensus is that the dildo brothers won't stump up the cash for transfers and are going to do things on the cheap (Hugill, as an example). We wouldn't sell for less than £25m (IMO), and I can't see them paying that.

Someone like Everton, Leicester (if Maguire leaves), or similar, however...

Lawro is just stating the bleeding obvious. I don't think he is being disrespectful to BHA, just saying it like it is.

IMO Dunk would not go to another 'lower half' team for the money but I do think if he continues to impress it will be hard to keep him if one of the bigger teams makes a serious bid.

Dunks style of football would be better suited to spurs.
Not worried at all about West Ham’s interest
