[Albion] Moyes wants Dunk

[Mancgull]

If Dunk ever goes it will be on our terms and I doubt whether that would be to a Moyes managed West Ham. He's a cheeky b@gger who has delusions of grandeur.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Would totally **** his career; West Ham have a knack of making good players shite, as does Moyes. He should definitely wait it out for a top 6 move (or just stay with us forever).

 

[clippedgull]

Probably a load of media crap.

But the club can easily get around this by putting a price tag on him of £50m.

I guess the 'interested' parties will then look elsewhere.

I'd imagine Dunk's August contract has more clauses in it than than a casting session for a remake of miracle on 34th street.

Dunk will get a better offer in the summer. Fending off suitors in January should be doable, fending them off next summer not so easy.

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

I think I trust Lewis to make his own mind up on this one.

 

[Joe Gatting's Dad]

It may be that he prefers to stay at Brighton come what may where he is guaranteed a game every week and probably a pay rise and new contract every year for the next ten years,

 

[SAC]

If he is on £50k a week and is offered £80k a week he is bound to be tempted as that is £1.5 million a year extra. Obviously I have no idea how much he is on at the moment or how much West Ham would offer.

Anyway, the transfer window isn't open so it doesn't matter.

Depends on the length of the contract: I believe that he's on five-year deal right now - £80k a week over two years is less money in total. Money counts but stability counts as well - ask David Stockdale.

 

[jamie the seagull]

He has everything he needs with us.
Will only leave when either:
One of the Top 6 offer or we get relegated..

 

[Hotchilidog]

Look at some of the jokers Arsenal and Liverpool currently have lining up in their defences. If Dunk plays a full season with us and plays consistently well he will get a move to one of those clubs in the summer. I don't think it's even in doubt. The worst thing he could do is go somewhere like West Ham.

Exactly this. Lewis should be heading for a genuine career progression not a sideways or backwards move.

 

[studio150]

Why would we sell Dunk to West Ham, given that at the present time they are a direct rival.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

West Ham lol

The only way players leave in Jan is:

Outrageous bids
Players no longer wanted
Player goes on strike

None of those will happen

 

[Bozza]

Why would we sell Dunk to West Ham, given that at the present time they are a direct rival.

Because they could offer him £100k a week for 5 years. This stuff really isn't complicated.

Exactly. West Ham are a yo-yo side. No point in going there. He'll end up at Liverpool or someone like that. A big club just outside the top four.

 

[Mackenzie]

£30m to buy him and £25m in wages, seems a bit out of their (owners) price range to me.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

This is what I don't get. Why can West Ham offer £100k per week yet we cannot ?

Surely our income is roughly the same ?

But our owner(s) isn't.

Is it a question of "cannot" or "will not"?
