Big_John_10 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 "When God wants to punish he sends us what we want." Eh? Many on here have wanted Dunne gone for a long time. It seems they will get what they prayed for but ultimately in a scenario that leaves us weak and vulnerable. That's my interpretation of what Gazton was saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FamousHolteUnion Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 How do we know we dont have a replacement? I know one of the journos was saying we hadn't stopped looking at CB's after signing Vlaar, so it's more than possible that we do have a replacement lined up. However there is also what MM said, that after Dunne leaves Herd will be the 4th CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 "When God wants to punish he sends us what we want." Eh? So if we want Dunne out of the club, Randy will punish us with someone fatter, drunker and slower? OMG!!! Its the Second Coming. And Lo, He gaveth unto the Villans of Aston their hearts desire. He walked amongst them, and they did know him as God. There was much rejoicing and it was good. Welcome Paul. :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 However there is also what MM said, that after Dunne leaves Herd will be the 4th CB. No he'll be 5th after Vlaar, Clark, Baker, Lowton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilchard Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I hope he goes. If he goes with no replacement then serious questions need to be asked about Lerner It's Lambert who is dictating on this who goes and if he thinks we are covered is my understanding . Even if this was the case - Lerner's 'sell sell sell/buy' policy will be influencing the decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Lambert doesnt strike me as a fool. he also seems to really respect mon and its likely he spoke to him before taking the job. when meeting lerner he must have raised any concerns eith him and ultimstely he signed this summer aware of any current restrictions - if they exist - yet still felt confident he would succeed. Thus i thunk he knows full well what he is doing and is confident in the cover. At this point if youre concerned it should be with lamberts judgement not randys backing. also carrick played centre half for utd the othet night. its really only city or maybe chelsea who can covet evrry drastic scenario effectively. We csnt afford to spend big on someobe eho may only pkay 3-4 games a season ' in emergency' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 also carrick played centre half for utd the othet night. its really only city or maybe chelsea who can covet evrry drastic scenario effectively. We csnt afford to spend big on someobe eho may only pkay 3-4 games a season ' in emergency' We don't exactly have midfielders in abundance that we can stick at center back if that came to it. If Dunne goes, we have 1 experienced centre back in Vlaar, it would be wrong to put that much weight of expectancy on our younger players for a whole season. Recipe for disaster. We sell Dunne, we need to replace, simple as that IMO. We've already lost Collins and Cuellar and replaced them with 1 player. Can't think of another Premier League club that has only 1 "experienced" centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkr Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Would be very happy if we could get rid of Dunne and Hutton to Stoke or anywhere for that matter as long as they are gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 If we shift Dunne and Warnock we effectively won't have a single outfield player in their 30s left in the squad (only Petrov, but no-one knows if he'll play again). And if we shift Dunne, Warnock and Hutton, Vlaar will be our only defender over the age of 23! Which would sound pretty damn risky to me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_John_10 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I think Lerner could literally stand up in the directors area, unzip his trousers, piss on the fans below and some would give him a thumbs up and say thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have no concerns with Dunne going He's on over 50k a week is 33 and is fat and slow and getting worse by the week This can't happen soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back on topic, Dunne and Hutton to Stoke (80k a week wages approx) for Jones (30-40k a week) would be ideal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_John_10 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Oh I forgot, if it's a negative possibility MM isn't classed as someone with inside knowledge. No one knows if it will happen, but if it does it's pretty piss poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think that you literally hope that we won't sign any more players so you can get more people on your band wagon to get Lerner out of here. After all he might've pissed off your hero. And I also literally think that we could sign both Messi and Ronaldo and you'd still claim that Lerner is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stanthemanisgod Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Whether you think it's Lerner being a tight arse, Lerner sulking after MoN, Lerner being sensible, or the club wanting to adhere to the UEFA rules should we ever get close to qualifying for a UEFA comp, our wage structure is restrained by our income. Do I want to see us exposed at the back with only 1 'experienced' CB? No. Can we afford to have average at best players on wages that are reported to be around £40-50k a week? No. In fact we can't realistically afford to continue paying the likes of Bent £60-80k (lots of figures banded around) so something needs to be done. If Lambert believes we'll be ok then that's his decision he'll be the one that answers with his job if we're not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
