West Ham target Dunk as Reid replacement

[symyjym]

West Ham will be even more attractive when they move to the Olympic Stadium in 2016. The future is looking very bright for them. and would be a great move for him.

We've received some good money for a number of players recently. But the strategy must now be to retain our quality young players and build a competitive squad again.

Derby kept their side together in the main, and supplemented sensibly with a small number of signings....without parachute payments. This is the model I'd like to see us emulate.

How are we meant to build a truly competitive squad if we sell the best quality in short order?

Quality & stability over 2 or 3 seasons is needed.

 

[Keeping The Dream Alive.]

Yeah. He is? But teams willing to pay this money for someone who looks the part but is being covered by a very experienced cb.

I think you're in a small minority there. Dunk will play the best part of his career in the Premier League.

He will, learnt off Greer and hypiia very well.

 

[Triggaaar]

Yeah. He is?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

If he wants to go, we'll have to let him, but hopefully not in January.

5-6 million from someone like West Ham or Southampton with a big sell on percent for when they sell him for bigger money higher up the foodchain.

4m ............you are having a laugh
8m and then we start talking and we want good sell on percentage
I mean blooming hell he is our top goal scorer

If true that's 3 of our development graduate CBs playing premier league next season.

 

[Working class pride]

If West Ham pay the proper asking price then he has to go with best of luck. Afraid he wouldn't be seeing the Premier League with Brighton for this or next season.If ever, the absolute earliest with the Albion is a season and a half away where he could be injured, have lost form or whatever.

I did hear West Ham signed a replacement in case Reid was leaving.

Cook and Dunk? Can't think of the 3rd?

Elphick, should he and Cook achieve promotion with Bournemouth.

 

[Beach Hut]

He will go however hopefully we might re-invest the money in players for a change.

 

[Seasidesage]

No need to sell this January so I would only entertain it for an big fee. I think he would be in the £5m bracket so I would want £6m plus to move during the season.

I don't think we will come under that sort of pressure this time around personally...

 

[perseus]

£16 million + Noble & Nolan. The last two come for nought, but their wages are a bit too much.

PS: And Dunk loaned back for next season.

Or else we will sell him to Spurs.

 

[champion7]

£4m. Drop Halford alongside Greer and buy Wood and an experienced mid.

His release clause is £5m and WH have already said that they are prepared to offer that.

 

[Lush]

Before the Jury's Inn-cident, wasn't it Arsenal who were said to be interested? And I've just read this quote from Alan Shearer on the BBC website:

Arsenal 2-0 Hull "Arsene Wenger took a lot of pressure off himself and the club by winning the FA Cup. He signed some players in the summer but they never signed the commanding centre half they needed and I think that's why the pressure is now back on him now. But in his defence there are not a lot of top quality defenders out there."

Don't want to see Dunk leave, but hopefully West Ham won't be the only ones interested, which presumably could push up the price.

Good news. Not wishing him away but when he does the more the better

 

[JOLovegrove]

Elphick, should he and Cook achieve promotion with Bournemouth.

How did I not think of him but thought of Cook?

 

[Lawro's Lip]

What kind of promise are our current development squad CBs showing?
