What if in 10 mins it’s announced he’s joined Bristol city.

So they will probably reuse Dom's story with every club he is linked too Fair enough, hope he chooses us if there’s any truth in the link. Borner, Dunkley, Iorfa. Seems a solid back 3 for what we need next season 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and I don’t mean to be disrespectful to Tom Lees, who is a very good defender, and who has served us well. There are a few issues though, like most of the others, he doesn’t look comfortable in a three. In a two, he’s better, but doesn’t have the same chemistry with Borner, that he had with Loovens. Probably best if he looks for a club where he will be a better fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably best if he looks for a club where he will be a better fit We've already made him impossible to offload by giving him a £25k pw contract a few years ago. Nobody is going to spend that much on Tom Lees after he's been average at best for the last 3 years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the same with a few of our players Perhaps, as I mentioned in the other thread, it’s time to be a bit more creative What a few clubs have done, in a similar position, is look for swap deals, even if it means we have to subsidise part of their wages. What we definitely shouldn’t do, is what we have done in the past, leave them sat on their backsides, still getting that big salary, while we bring in others to duplicate the position. For instance, I don’t really have an issue with bringing in Dunkley, as long as a defender is going out first 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Yeh I’ve just got that horribly wrong haven’t I , meant to put Borner and then ship out either Van Aken or Lees Surely we would be looking at Dunkley or Venancio , don’t see us needing 2 centre half’s coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where it leaves us in terms of left foot/right foot balance. But having options without needing to put Palmer or Odubajo in a central defensive position should help.

TheEnchanter Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I like the attributes Dunkley has and think for the price which will be minimal or free if I'm not mistaken, this is a decent signing. Dunkley seems like a switched on lad. He's got a degree in Sports Science which is more than most footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timrud Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I just spoke to a Wigan mate and he said Dunkley getting dropped was the catalyist for their good form at the end of the season. Didn't rate him. But we should give him a chance, Wigan can make any good player look bad after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
