[Archived] Should Dunny Have Come Home?

[gumboots]

He was excellent for Wales the other night though, albeit against poor opposition. Perhaps he's finally grown up - some people take a long time to do it.

Fife Rover........

1) From his past with Rovers and being on the verge of the full England team the answer must be yes.

2) Only he really knows.

3) I believe a return to his home town club will motivate and encourage him...he never really wanted to move.

I would personally be tempted to take the gamble on him at 1 Million ....god knows we made a good profit with his sale to Birmingham.I would hazard a guess that the reaction to his possible return to Ewood would be very positive from the fans and may even tempt a few back into the fold.

SG194: The 3 questions I posed have to be asked and answered by the appropriate people on 1st Jan 2007.

Only at that time are the answers relevant. And neither you nor I nor any of us on this site are the appropriate people.

Rovers have poured cold water on the Koumas link.

Not surprised to be honest. I think Sparky is looking for a more complete midfielder (ala Reid), not necessarily just a creative one. I would say most of his signing illustrates just that preference.

[AxesFirstTouch]

Mokoena is the complete midfielder what you talking about!

[thenodrog]

Now that Tugay is suspended for one game it would indeed be good to have Dunny back .....before sticking him back on the bench until Toogs gets suspended again.

We desperatly need more "box to box" players. Right now, the two strikers are more often than not isolated up front so that when MGP actually does gets past his man and swings it in there, it's all empty. Likewise with Bentley, but he tends to have MGP to aim at too.

Why? He plays a completely different role to Tugay. I don't think Dunn would sit in front of the back four.

If you're on about central players then I'd disagree strongly. When Savage and Reid are both fit, they will be competing for that role...adding another player to it would ultimately mean someone getting upset at the lack of games. An alternative to Tugay is what we desperately need, Mokoena just isn't good enough, and I fear Tugay will burn out long before the season is over if he continues playing the same rate of games he is at the moment.

[rover6]

As Savage gets older (he's getting on already) I suspect he'll adjust his game and become more of a holding player as a concession to his age. If that is the case, Sav could be the replacement for Tugay - although a very different type.

[bluewhitearmy]

dunns a gd player and it wud b great to see him bk in the blue and white halves of rovers i say sparky shud get him as long as we dnt pay 2 much

[herbergeehh]

I agree with you, however you shouldn't be using text speak. (cue: mod to link you to "forum rules").

I have to agree with you Shevchenko, i think we should be looking for a young central attacking midfielder who can go up there with Gamst and Bentley and feed the front 2. Tugay and Savage can fight over the holding central defensive position whilst the new guy can fight over the attacking position with Reid...

[herbergeehh]

Savage doesn't hold anything though, he's running all over the place. That's his strenght (strange as it might seem) and it effectively ruins every chance of him being a holding midfielder like Tugay - I think. If I'm not mistaken, the combo of Reid / Savage hasn't always worked out that good - because his slowness aside, Tugay does a lot of work just by being in the right defensive position.

That being said, I won't totally exclude the idea of a Savage / att.mid. player combo, because he has all the defensive qualities to handle a role like that. Problem is, he will lose a lot of his game if he's to hold back on his running, and his passing will probably never be more than decent.

I have it from a good source in Snuffy 'Arrod that Dunny is back in January and so I expect the title of this thread will be altered shortly. Is this the worst kept secret in East Lancs?

you aren't the only person to have whizzed next to Dunny.

My friend had that pleasure at Baja Beach Club in Leeds just before he left us for Big Club.

he said he loved the club but couldnt work under Souness anymore.

Still stands I guess

[MCMC1875]

Apparently the piester was talking to Man City last week but he still intends coming back to Ewood.

I'm really excited about the prospect of Dunn coming home. It's for a low sum and he will be on low wages. If it comes off, he will be a revelation and could provide the flair we need. If it doesn't come of, then we waste a bit of money and get our hopes up a bit.

This could be a great coup, it could not. But we have little to lose. I'm excited

[elwaxo]

i think im abit behind on this story...i heard some talk about dunny comin home....is this all said and done now or what??

i for one would be happy to see him back....its was a shame how it all came about that he left in the first place.

if he wants it (football that is)....and he keeps his head on.......well, weve all seen what the lad can do!!!

Make that "could do" and I will then agree with you.

Providing this a pay as you play - coupled with low transfer fee. It could end up being another pice of transfer magic by Hughes.

Though it isn't enough of a reason to sign a player - it is great that he supports the club and wants to play for us. For me that makes a difference - am I the only one that was pleased to hear Matty Derbyshire saying how it was a dream come true to play for the club he supports. Having home grown players in the team - helps build a bond with the Blackburn public - and you never know might actually add a few to the gate.

Since the likes of Jansen,Duff,Dunn and even Tiny left the club the attendence has dropped, so maybe with Dunn back and the likes of Derbyshire,Nolan and other youths getting first team action is good for bigger crowds.
