Mowen Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Fucking hell, everyone hates Dunne now Wasn't he City's player of the year for 3 seasons before a poor year last time around? edit: fucking tooj. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 James Collins to Aston Villa. Average as f***. Fourth choice centre back behind Davies, Cuellar and Dunne? Who is Everton's fourth choice centre back? Or Spurs's? King, Woodgate, Bassong, Dawson........so Dawson. I rest my case. And as the first two on that list spend a month on the physio table every time someone so much as sneezes on them, you could probably do with a few more just in case. Incidentally, word has it that Harry tried to hijack the Dunne deal this afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Dunne had a poor season last year but before that he was Citeh's player a few years running iirc. Really turned his career round. This. Before that he was being hailed a quality centre half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 James Collins to Aston Villa. Average as fuck. Aston Villa = England B Team o'neill has spent over 130 million on a team that doesn't include 1 class player imo, (ashley young is overated massively imo) Well, if you think James Collins is going to be getting in the England B team anytime soon, i can suggest a rather large geographical reason he won't. MON's transfer activity is bewildering, but Ashley Young and John Carew are class players by any definition. He can also point to the consecutive top six finishes as evidence that, whatever it is that goes through his slightly odd head, it works. Aye, i think though, and i think from your previous posts you would agree, that if he sometimes brought a few players from abroad you could be REALLY challenging for top 4 and even better than you did last season! Yes, I absolutely agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, word has it that Harry tried to hijack the Dunne deal this afternoon. Woodgate's less injury prone now is he not? Sure he barely missed a game for Boro, thought he was similar for Spurs. Much improved (fitness wise) since he played for us, anyway. Could be wrong mind.

Who is Everton's fourth choice centre back? Or Spurs's? King, Woodgate, Bassong, Dawson........so Dawson. But, theoretically, how often will your first choice pairing play together? They did a lot last season. This season we won't need to push them as we have other options. Anyway i'd rather a crippled Ledley King than that sideshow Dunne. I don't think he is as bad as people think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Dunne still has quality in him. Looks slower and mentally out of it, a change could really do him good. Think maybe he feels staying was a big mistake and knows after the big money players came in he was surplus to requirements. If MON can get him motivated and leaner, then it could be a really good signing for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I hate Richard Dunne. I've gotta say I'm not sure there are any other CBs in the PL that I'd want less than Richard Dunne. Probably some of the newly promoted randoms I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I've never rated Richard Dunne, honestly. He's too slow off the mark and he tends to make a lot of rash judgements which is a shit attribute for a central defender to have, resulting in a fair few own goals and red cards. He is good in the air tbf to him, and fairly decent positionally, but he just doesn't have the mental attributes to be a top 6 defender, in my opinion.

Incidentally, word has it that Harry tried to hijack the Dunne deal this afternoon. I don't believe that tbh. As i said, i'd rather we have just 2 cb's than have Dunne in the squad. That guy single handedly cost City double figures in points last season. Our match against them at the COM was particularly pleasing when he decided to hand Bent a goal on a plate then get himself sent off . At least with 2 cb's there's no danger of relying on a clown like Dunne. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is as bad as people think. He was the worst centre back by far in the premiership last season. He was beyond bad and any City fan would admit that. If easy targets like Anton Ferdinand, Dawson , Coloccini or Bramble had the sort of season he did, they'd be getting linked with moves to Colchester right now.

He's too slow off the mark and he tends to make a lot of rash judgements which is a s*** attribute for a central defender to have, resulting in a fair few own goals and red cards. He is good in the air tbf to him, and fairly decent positionally, but he just doesn't have the mental attributes to be a top 6 defender, in my opinion. His mental attributes are fine, he's just slow, clumsy and lacking in ability with the ball at his feet, doesn't mean he's a bad defender though.

Errm, show me the stunning feat of logic that lead you to arrive at that conclusion? Mind you, I suppose you could always play one of your 14,000 right backs there.

Incidentally, a quick glance at mancityfans.net shows a slightly different opinion of Dunne to that expressed by your good self. We have players like Huddlestone and Corluka that can play cb if need be. I'd play anyone but Richard 'makes 3 mistakes a game' Dunne is the point i'm making and if we have to sacrifice and go with 2 cb's, i'd gladly do that if it means we stay clear of Dunne. The fans on Mancityfans.net are probably being sentimental about his departure being that he's been at the club for a while. If you wen't on GG when Anthony Gardner left you'd see quite a few positive comments ( in actual fact he's a total donkey). If you visited Bluemoon last season you'd have seen what they really thought of that overweight embarrassment of a premiership footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just reacting to the usual spectacle of Spurs fans spending the entire window travelling the internet, convincing other clubs fans that they're going to sign every man and his uncle (Robben? Van Der Vaart? Wasn't Levy in Madrid to bring those two back) and subtly criticising everyone else's. Judging on the way these things generally tend to turn out, do they ever learn? Incidentally, forget names like Robben, what happened to Ashley Young going there? And what about Fabian "him and his dad are guests of Spurs at Wembley today, done deal" Delph? Thank fuck the window is closed, even if only so we don't have to put up with that delusional crap any more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
