Paul Dummett

[The Butcher]

Goodbye, sweet prince

[54]

No more sliding tackles 

[jack j]

Should please the angry mob for an hour or 2

[Froggy]

Welcome to Manchester.

[TheHoob]

Shame for him but he's (sort of ) lived the dream. Hope he gets another decent gig. 

[andycap]

No more leaks to the press now. The gobshite has left. 

[Dokko]

Some money he's had out of us for being average at best, and injured at most. 

 

The clearout continues.

[Joelinton7]

Will be weird seeing him in the colours of another team, assuming he gets one.

[GEFAFWISP]

Bye.

[Coffee_Johnny]

150 odd PL appearances; 45 in Championship winning season. 12 seasons in total. Plenty of meaningful contributions and a great asset for a long time. Farewell sweet prince. Hope you tag on a couple of seasons additional playing time and have plenty of fun in the twilight years.

Gateshead probably unless Sunderland go for him. 

[Joelinton7]

Could see him joining Williamson at Mk Dons

[Kid Icarus]

Like a new signing

I'm not crying you're crying

Aye, he was decent enough at defending for a while but should've moved on at least two years ago to play some football. Ultimately, his choice to hang around earning decent money. 

[TBG]

 

[Pilko]

Nice lad, good pro, some good performances over the years but ultimately not of the standard we need any more.

 

Best of luck to him and I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up some kind of club-serving ambassador/foundation etc role after he packs in.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see him rock up at MK with Willo, or Gateshead with Elliot.

[Yorkie]

Would love to see him get a good move. He's probably not good enough to be a regular for any team in the Premier League but I'm sure he could still do a job in the Championship.

 

Never hated him, he had some decent spells for us, particularly with Rafa, where the number 3 was pretty well earned. 

[Kanj]

Ah man, what a lovely tribute post by the club and his own words themselves were class. PD! Wishing him the very very best in the future.

[Gottlob]

I never really rated him since even at his best he was tough to watch on the ball and tucked in too much in a moderately successful bid to provide defensive stability. But he was a below-par Premier League player for what was for the most part a pretty below-par Premier League side, and it's hard to begrudge someone who was born in the area, came up through the youth ranks and wound up making a serious contribution to our first team while spending effectively the whole of his career with the club. Well done!

[mighty__mag]

Did he have a testimonial ?

 

You forget how long some have been here, he doesn't look particularly old for his age, young looks.

[toontownman]

Sad day but best for business. Wishing Paul all the best. Great servant to the club.

Happy for him.

 

Most would say that Paul Dummett has not been good enough to represent Newcastle for a long time (if ever) - from a quality and technique standpoint. I'd 100% agree.

 

But I would say that it is always nice to hear someone living out their dreams (especially at their boyhood club, ala him, longstaff, burn). That smile on his debut is the realisation of his dreams coming true.

 

I'll never begrudge anyone of following and realising their dream. Its hard to criticise him (short match day rants aside) and look back negatively on his time here. 

 

Clearly out of their depth, but often giving it his all. Never disputed his commitment.

 

When all is said, we should not really blame him for the standard being so poor under Ashley, for so long.

Not too sentimental about this, goodbye.
