Benarbia's Fat Dad said:Why is everybody assuming that Richard Dunne's version of events is the truth? It doesn't make any sense at all - "we need the money" absolute bollocks.
I wish him well because he's been a loyal servant to the club, but I think he's talking shite
When your manager is running around saying how much better Lescott is and we need p0layers like him with a winning mentality, it is pretty clear to all but the very dense Dunne was going to be history as far as a first team place. Add to that the we need to change the CULTURE remarks its damned obvious he was going be got rid off asap, when Lescott arrived, after all he was the Cult leader.
Re: For everyone that ISNT slating Richard Dunne
totally agreed, not just loyal service but the guy has kept us in the league season after season and has been one of the best players in the premiership for a long time, apart from last season.
any fans slating dunne need to take a good hard look at the shite he played around at city for years and how good he was in each of the four consecutive seasons he was voted player of the year.

Daily Mail: Dunne calls Cook "Back Stabber"!
Dunne hits out at 'back-stabber' Cook over £6m City exit
LINK: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...-hits-stabber-Cook-6m-City-exit.html?ITO=1490
Richard Dunne has accused Manchester City of deceit in an incredible attack on the Barclays Premier League's big spenders.
Dunne, who began the season as captain at Eastlands but was sold to Aston Villa for £6million this week, says he was forced out by the club's executive chairman Garry Cook, who he claims 'doesn't understand football'.
Dunne said: 'All he wants is big-money players. He doesn't understand the core loyalty of the club and where it begins.
'For him I was probably a bit of a nuisance. I found out things that were going on behind my back and I wouldn't speak to him. Every time I came around he probably felt a bit uncomfortable.
'The manager (Mark Hughes) is very quiet, he does his own thing and I spoke with him a few times through the summer about what was going on. He was of the opinion that City needed two players for every position and that was the way the squad was going to work.
'The last time I spoke to him was in Africa after I had found out some other stuff. I said, "Where do I lie in the whole thing?" and he said they were trying to sign players and I would be part of his squad and I could fight for my place.
'He said I was still the captain and even last week he said to me he would rather I stayed but he was told we needed to get money in. I don't think it was his decision.
'They told me they have a certain amount of money they have to recoup each season to make things look better on the books. I could understand if I was being sold for £200m, it might make sense, but it was a bit strange really.
'It just needed people to be honest with me. I was getting phone calls from people saying Garry Cook (pictured) was trying to sell me behind my back, two months after me going to him and saying if he has any problems to come and deal with me. I'm disappointed with people who say one thing and then do the other.
'I'm not going to cry just because the club wanted to sell me - just don't do it behind my back.'
City spent £120m in their summer spree, adding centre backs Joleon Lescott and Kolo Toure to replace Dunne, as well as Carlos Tevez, Emmanuel Adebayor, Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry.
Dunne, now preparing for Ireland'sWorld Cup qualifier in Cyprus on Saturday, added: 'City have just signed Joleon Lescott and he's getting dog's abuse for being disloyal and breaking a contract he signed at Everton a year ago. But City have just done the exact same to me. It's not me who asked to leave.
'I would quite happily have stayed there and been part of the squad and fought for my place. I have been loyal to them for a long time but it was their decision to cancel a four-year contract.
'It seems to me the contract they gave me last year was just pointless. Twelve months down the line, when it doesn't suit them anymore, they just put it in the bin and say, "Off you go".'
At least Dunne is convinced Villa will be competing with City for a place in the top four and that their stability under Martin O'Neill will give his new club the edge.
The 29-year-old Dubliner, who will make his Villa debut in the Birmingham derby on his return from Ireland duty, added: 'It softens the blow. I'm moving to a club which has similar ambitions. Obviously, they don't have the financial backing of Man City but we have a squad as good as most in the league.
'It is difficult at City because of the amount of players that have come in. So far everything has gelled really well and the results have been really good, but when it gets difficult there's not really the bonding in the dressing room.
'Villa's squad is young and have been together a while and they have the confidence of last year, when they were fourth for a long time.'
Dunne's point about the City superstar culture was highlighted yesterday as Robinho admitted he put country before club by asking to sit out Sunday's 1-0 win at Portsmouth.
Robinho was desperate to be fit for Brazil's trip to Argentina tomorrow, when his country can put their great rivals in serious danger of missing next summer's World Cup. 'I asked to not play because I had pains in the ankle, but especially because Brazil v Argentina is more important,' he said.

Re: FAO Garry Cook 2
I can't imagine Dunny saying those quotes, it just doesn't sound like the type of way he speaks.
If I'm wrong however, then I take it back and he can go and fuck himself.

Re: Dunne City Legend or Not?
Legend or not, the guy deserves more respect than what he is currently getting from a small number of so called "fans" on here.

Re: For everyone that ISNT slating Richard Dunne
I think devastated is the word id used for my feelings on Dunne's departure. He really deserved to lift a decent trophy for us. He is good enough for a top premiership side and im sure he will prove that at Villa. Good luck Dunney!
