Re: To: City Re: Richard Dunne

not sure if this is unseen (I very much doubt it, but easier to post than read 16 pages)
loved him, but his time has come. Got to think of the future, not look to the past.
Would utd, liverpool, chelsea or arsenal take him? No. And that where we are aiming

Re: To: City Re: Richard Dunne

Neither TBH or Dunney were good enough. If Hughes had put Dunne as sub for the first 2 games there would have been outrage which could have unsettled the team. Maybe Hughes thought he could get by with Dunne in the side and didn't have to put him on the bench, safe in the knowledge that soon enough Dunney would be departing

Possibly, it's hard to second guess him really.

I think I'm a bit miffed in tyhe manner that he departed and the OP was posted straight after his full interview came in. They are currently showing bits and bobs of it, so I hope you guys get the full airing of it and maybe understand my reaction to it. I still believe that if what Dunne said was true, then the club has completely disrespected a player that they had no need to do.

Either way, I think I've said my peace on it now, and will keep quiet unless an unseen opinion is posted.

Fair do's mate I'll try and catch it when I get home, and obviously you're right that Dunney should be treated with respect. There is absolutely no doubt for me though that it's best for all concerned that Dunney has moved on. It's not even like he's been fobbed off to Stoke or someone as Villa are a very good club. As the writing has been on the wall for a long time I don't really see much reason to get upset about the whole thing, but that's just the way I see it

Re: To: City Re: Richard Dunne

Imagine getting to wembley and up steps Kolo Toure lifting a cup....Dunne i reckon would break to tears watching that if it were to be this season.

Gutted but its for the best.

Re: Dunne City Legend or Not?

Legend

I think Dunne played like we all believe we would play like if we got our hands on that blue shirt (except he had a bit more talent)

100% commitment
Sticking his head in even when it means getting injured
Trying so hard you even score the odd crazy own goal

These things i will always love him for

Im looking forward to seeing him at Villa so we can all give him the reception a city legend truly deserves

No player is bigger than the club.

Thanks for everything Dunney and best of luck for the future, you will be missed and I will always have fond memories of you.
