Morpheus Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 No point keeping Dunne for another season, he'll be 34 by that time. Would rather we bought someone in. MON forced Cahill out. Yes by not playing him and thats what i was suggesting could happen if Dunne and Vlaar formed a partnership thereby not allowing Clark enough game time.

villa89 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Maybe start with giving him fifteen minutes off the bench. He's a centre half, they don't tend to come off the bench unless there's an injury. Also given how many schoolboy errors he makes he's the last player I'd want to see coming off the bench fro 15 minutes as he wouldn't be up to speed with the game.

AVFCforever1991 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Yes by not playing him and thats what i was suggesting could happen if Dunne and Vlaar formed a partnership thereby not allowing Clark enough game time. Well considering Dunne is 33, i'm sure the Partnership would not last long, either because Dunne got injured or because he will be released at the end of the season. He should not start anyway, doesn't deserve to. Dunne's wages could be put to better use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Well considering Dunne is 33, i'm sure the Partnership would not last long, either because Dunne got injured or because he will be released at the end of the season. by the time he gets back to playing for us Vlaar and Clark will have played quite a few games with each other and It would be a shame to dismantle it if they were working well together as a unit. Since there is no offer of another contract for Dunne and he is leaving in June combined with his age coming off from a big long injury I don't see how he will now play anything more than a experienced defender sub role. Now unless clark or vlaar get injured he will remain as great back up to have until we replace him in the summer for another player of the vlaar mould. .

TheSufferingVilla Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 So it looks like Dunne was close to playing but suffered a setback not related to his injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 in all fairness, and credit where its due, dunne has been brilliant for us past few seasons, hes by no means a mellberg or laursen, but hes been up there with his work rate but as mentioned, the one thing against him is his age, but saying that, maybe theres just one more season in him?

8pints Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 He was in a video on the website, visiting the Children Hospital and he seemed to be walking fine. Although I've just watched Lambert's' press conference and he's saying Dunne has a strain in a different place to his injury, but nothing serious.

Morpheus Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Wouldn't surprise me at all to see both Dunne and Given leave at the end of the season and end their career's in America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 really? I can't say I've followed them too much, but I thought they were taken over by some chaps ( hence why they were able to get into the CL in the first place? Did they bugger off or was I wrong?

lexicon Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yeah Dunne can **** off - we definitely don't need him. We could do with another CB who can push for the first team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't say I've followed them too much, but I thought they were taken over by some chaps ( hence why they were able to get into the CL in the first place? Did they bugger off or was I wrong? Some chaps (Qatari royals, allegedly) that the club haven't even been able to get in contact with for months now. This in spite of player's wages going unpaid, threats of legal action, transfer fee payments missed (e.g. money owed to Osasuna for Nacho Monreal) and a subsequent transfer ban from the LFP, the board's chief advisor passing away, a regular turnover over of directors... the list goes on. With no line of communication to the owners, off the pitch the club is in utter disarray and are desperate for another party to buy off the elusive Qataris. Strange (or rather all the more impressive) then, that in spite of everything Pellegrini's working wonders on the pitch. Top of their CL group and 5th in the league.
