briny_ear Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Dunne's package sums MON upNot sure why? More so than the packages agreed with Barry, A Young, Milner, Agbonlahor, for example? Anyhow, if Lambert is to be believed maybe another package will follow - the one that sums up Lambert perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'd be very surprised if Lambert offered him a deal. All this in the press is professionalism and nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I read Johnny Heitinga is on £60K a week. Signed at the same time as Dunne. Shows madness wasn’t just a MON thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow, if Lambert is to be believed maybe another package will follow - the one that sums up Lambert perhaps? Big wages for a mediocre player. See: virtually every player O'Neill signed that isn't Young, Petrov, Carew, Downing or Milner. Edited May 10, 2013 by Mantis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 I'd be very surprised if Lambert offered him a deal. All this in the press is professionalism and nothing more. not sure was never any of the same compliments towards Warnock who contract was winding down. I think we missed him this season but I think his injuries have caught up with him and unless we offered him a pay as you play deal or a massive pay-cut I doubt he will be here next season. Could see him signing for QPR if we let him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knoppy1987 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 would prefer heitinga over dunne anyday, we would of got our moneys worth with john as well I assume you have never seen Johnny Heitinga play? The guy is woeful He won their player of the year last year. He has been woeful this year bordering on a liability at times. I don't want either of them but I'd take Dunne on a good day over Heitinga in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetrees Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Actually, where is Dunne ? Is he injured or just an outcast ? Or both I mean you don't even see pics of him on the OS doing community work ? When was he last seen ? I saw him in Waitrose just over a week ago, if that helps :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamsonwoodVillan Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Still lives in Four Oaks. Drinks in Knowle and Lapworth. He will never play for Villa again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czechlad Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I really hope we don't give him a new contract. I'd rather use those wages on a younger more in form defender. Plus at this point, Baker and Clark are probably the better options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/aston-villa-richard-dunne-told-3897597 He is done here. Aston Villa's forgotten man Richard Dunne will this week be told to look for a new club after missing the whole of last season through injury. Dunne has been unable to kick a ball competitively for the claret and blues since the final day of the previous campaign over a year ago and his contract will not be renewed when it expires next month. Manager Paul Lambert has previously k ept the door open for Dunne to return to action to give the defender time to recover from groin trouble. But it has been decided to allow the experienced Ireland international to leave on a free when his four-year deal at the club comes to an end in late June. Dunne has been unable to turn out for Villa this season after sustaining the injury on Euro 2012 duty last summer. He did take part in Villa’s pre-season tour of the U.S. last summer, but pulled out after cameos in two friendlies when it became too painful to continue. The 33-year-old centre-half had an operation on the problem area last August and has regularly visited specialists, including a trip to see an expert in the States. But after seemingly making progress, Dunne has suffered several setbacks and has failed to reach a level of fitness to make him available for selection. He has been among Villa’s top earners since signing from Manchester City in August 2009, and at a time when Villa are managing their wagebill carefully does not fit Lambert’s preference for up-and-coming players. Darren Bent, Stephen Ireland and Shay Given are set to have talks about their futures at the club during the next few days, while Alan Hutton will be spoken to when his loan at Mallorca finishes in a fortnight, as the manager steps up his plans for next season. Villa have now finalised their pre-season programme by confirming a showpiece friendly against La Liga club and this season’s Champions League quarter-finalists Malaga at Villa Park at 3pm on Saturday, August 10.

Not surprised at this news. He was an ok defender but for what we were paying him every week was just silly money. Think the most important thing for him is to make sure he recovers but wouldn't be surprised if we see Richard Dunne hanging up his boots soon.

Avflife Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) After not playing since the Euros nearly a year ago it would of been stupid to offer him another deal of similar or lower value, slightly sad to see him go as at one stage he was in the PL team of the year. Good luck Dunney in the MLS most likely. 50k off the wage bill (now sitting at 100k with released players) to be invested wisely by Paul Lambert on an experienced centre half to partner Vlaar next season with Clark and Baker as back-ups.
