​Still getting parachute payments AND people like living in London AND he's from Brighton and so might want to stay near family etc...

Just some thoughts

Lines from "Here is the City" - a Brighton rag on Lewis Dunks performance against the Rams at the Amex

Dunk has consistently been a colossus at the heart of Brighton’s defence and Tuesday was no different. During regular spells of Derby pressure, his expert positioning allowed him to clear the ball from danger and get in the way of the Rams’ shots regularly.

Of the 11 blocked shots which Derby attempted, Dunk blocked four of them. He also made a staggering 12 clearances from his own and won 67% of his aerial duels.

 

4 blocks out of 11 sounds impressive and I suspect better than our current CBs achieve.

How does his 'slide in kamikaze style try to block' rate compare with our current players?

Statistically the second best CB in the division.

Only 23 years old

6ft 4in

Knows the division and is English.

Left sided CB 

For ​1.5 million Yes!

Has played on the left to accommodate halford, but is right footed...apparently.

according to sky sports, Stoke and West Ham also after him.

Well that would be tougher competition than fulham if true. West Ham a bit in doubt given allardyces future in doubt.

​This happens with basically any target. Them "being interested" is usually seemingly paper talk to drive up the price when the talks begin. I remember "half the Premier League" being interested in Michael Jacobs.

Paul Clement does not waste time. Sam Rush does not waste time. Mel Morris does not waste time. Derby County are going up this season. Some people have put an incredible amount of work into which players we want for next season,. that is for sure. A lot of very good players in the Championship are now thinking that Derby County is the club to sign for.
