Ronaldo Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Dunne was the worst cb in the league last season (i made the comment about Dunne being crap at the beginning of last season when we were linked with him). He's been excellent whenever i've seen him this season though. What nonsense. Richards was worse alongside him for one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hmmm no he wasn't. Not at all. Dunne was a calamity. He made mistake after mistake and cost City a lot of points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Again no it isn't. He was the laughing stock of the league last season. If a player like Bramble had that kind of season, i guarantee he'd be playing championship football right now. Even City fans turned on him last season. I remember them jeering him in the game against us (he then proceeded to hand Bent a goal and get sent off). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Whenever I've seen Dawson this season, he's looked excellent. Whenever I saw him prior to this season, he looked like he'd suffered some traumatic head injury or been starved of oxygen at birth, he was so shite. Goes to show, players change, especially when given a change of scenery (in the case of Dunne). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 http://www.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=153278 btw just googled Richard Dunne and this thread came up. It's a recent thread analysing Dunne's performances last season. Now bear in mind this thread is started when City are in a poor run of form AND Hughes is still in charge. The general consensus is that Dunne was shit. Now usually when a player is performing well at another club (plus your own club is performing badly and you hate your manager) you tend to see things differently and hindsight comes into play. These guys still openly admit Dunne was shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
brummie Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I've always said Dunne is a fat, lumbering piece of shit but he's had a class season tbf. Collins; I called correctly and said it was a good deal. When we bought him, I was fucking flabbergasted (and this is after watching MON prviously buy Heskey, Harewood, Zat Knight, so it isn't like I should have been surprised). Same with Collins. 10m, though, for that pair, good deal. MON is the most infuriating manager ever. He really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth Barry was anonymous for us for about 5 of the 9 months of last season. Fans who watch teams day in day out have a much better overview than journalists or part time supporters, both of whom - esp journalists - fall back on the obvious cliche all the time.

Despite the months when we drift into awful football mode, despite the mental transfer policy (three of his last 45 signings have been from outside the UK, apparently), despite the bizarre substitutions, despite lots of things, I can't help but love him. I always feel a warm glow when i see him interviewed as our manager, and for all the bollocks he drops, he pulls some rabbits out of the hat. For all the Knights, Harewoods and Hekseys, for all the refusal to buy bigger names, he gets results. The fucking weirdo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would temper that, however, by saying that I don't care what he did with City towards the end, I'm only bothered with what he does for us, and so far it has been exceptional.
