New Dunk bid

[BensGrandad]

Jonny Evans is apparently heading to Bournmouth. Guess that's why they are after Dunk

Seems a strange move having sold Elphick and his replacement not being much better but would cost most of the fee received,

Think Evans is a much better player.

Obviously Smarmy Howe agrees with you but has always seemed overrated to me. What will he cost?

Ferguson rated him enough for him to get 3 league titles.


Just seen bournmouth are after Dunk as well

But also sold him so not 100% convinced as United still had CB problems despite having and selling him and Wes Brown. They still have a problem at CB.

Agree Evans is far better than Elphick. Would be very surprised if West Brom let him go. Thought he was first choice last year.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

I wouldn't even look twice at anything less than £10m in todays inflated market. We will have to spend at least half that to replace him if we want a top quality CB.

£10 million is about right for Dunk. He's our best centre half but is also still a bit of a liability in terms of diving in and getting red cards. There is no way we should even consider selling him until we have signed two new centre backs and Goldson is fit again.

He played 150 games for them, that's quite a lot.

Man united squad players are normal better than most teams starters, well used to be!

We obviously disagree as I would say he is better than Tommy but not much for the extra money involved in transfer fee and probable wage demand.

 

[BensGrandad]

Man Utd are like Arsenal were under George Graham never sold anybody until they began to go down in their standard and they then never ever made it to a top club again.

From a purely factual point of view, I suppose you could say Evans has played his whole career at Premier League clubs while Elphick has had one season. I do agree though that Evans isn't amazing. Would be surprised if Bournemouth were interested and if West Brom sold but we will see. They are obviously planning to let go of at least one centre half if they are trying to sign Dunk.

£8m is now being reported, must be getting near the clubs valuation...

 

[spence]

10 million and he will be gone. Would leave us very short though

Very short, at this moment in time it would leave us bare

Agree with the valuation but I imagine the club would be aware of the issue and looking to sign centre backs. Maybe we'll get a centre back as part of the deal.

 

[HantsSeagull]

They won't let him go unless they have a replacement lined up

I hope you are correct, I am not so sure.

Are you serious? You really think we would go into the Derby game with no Centre Backs?

 

[portslade seagull]

They won't let him go unless they have a replacement lined up

But they need two and a midfielder if Stephens also departs. Let's hope Kayal stays

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

We need replacements, if we sell Dunk who starts against Derby?
