[Archived] Should Dunny Have Come Home?

[Roversider]

Maybe the best thing is to use the old undisclosed fee trick and let Bruce claim they got a good deal. Bruce didn't help his sales pitch by pointing out how difficult it had been to get Dunn fit.

Still, there has to be a little sympathy for the St.Andrews planks, feels a little like the Ferguson saga but at least Dunny hasn't whined as much as the little 'Gers ex-captain.

[West Sussex Rover]

Savage is the ball winner and spoiler of opposition play. and boy does he do it well. Tugay is the play maker, enough said. Even given his age he will still play more games per season than Dunn.

David Dunn will never be in the same class as Tugs as long as he has a hole in his (Large) backside. Re-signing Dunn shows a total lack of ambition in my opinion.

The more and more this goes on... The more time we loose when we could be persuing someone who isnt questionable and the more Steve Bruce pushes the price up... the more i agree with Ianrally's comment of us showing a lack of ambition...

If we resign Dunn then it should be on a pay as you play basis and we shouldnt pay anymore that 500k's-750k's.

I would also like to add that even if we resign Dunn, we should be looking for another midfielder should Dunn's fitness be an issue!

[AxesFirstTouch]

Theres no need we have the Axe, a top class midfielder who Mark rates highly.

[Fife Rover]

Why cant we just pay 500k for him however, on this basis Steve Bruce can go round telling the world that we paid 5m for him and he dosnt look like so much of a gimp

This could push his price up a bit - click

If City want him they are welcome to him; let them take the risk and prove/ disprove his fitness and present ability to play a WORTHWHILE role in the EPL.

Relegation here we come!!

Where else are we going to find a potentially (if he stays fit) top class midfielder 27 years of age, with the ability to step into Tugay's shoes when he retires for as little as 1m?

If you want someone of the same quality with an unblemished injury record, fine, but we'd have to be prepared to spend 5m upwards to land him imo.

[joeh8]

dunn will come home IMO he is like bellamy top quality but injured alot and we all know wot bellers did for the club dunny is a legend!

David Bentley.

LET Reporting that B.C want 2 mill for him

Posturing by Bruce and nothing else. He's blown a bundle on Dunne and he knows it. Don't forget that he is pushing hard for promotion and will have other player(s) lined up if he can find the money so that will be why his opening gambit is so excessive. It means nowt.

[revolutionrock!]

Get him back if he can maintain his fitness(i no its a big ask)he could be the next tugay.hes a rovers legend and a local lad and i think the risk will pay of if we get him.

[Billy Castell]

Too much of a risk at £2m. £750,000-1,00,000 would be tempting though.

I agree totaly

[Fife Rover]

Might JUST be worth the risk providing Birmingham continue to pay the premiums on his insurance policy for at least a year.

i dont think they can ask for that of a player whos only started 50 odd games in the time hes been there.he knows hes been a flop and is just trying to get as much cash as he can get

[Al]

We can just about cope until the end of the season. Lets get him back then for free and make Bruce look like the pillock that he is.

[ABBEY]

legend??

go on then define his legend status.

[Silencio]

I wouldn't want him back. He was a good (sometimes brilliant) player for us in his day was over long ago. The argument that he will be on pay as you play is rubbish too, that means 10k a week for not playing, 20k when they do. No thanks...

[revolutionrock!]

im not going to answer that.

you have a think about it in:

Seriously, why is he a 'legend'? Are you confusing the word 'legend' with 'very good local boy'?

[revolutionrock!]

hes been very good for people round my neck of woods(great harwood)

he also scored lots of important goals in 2000-2001 season

if you dont class him as a legend,i do.probably something to do with knowing him personally

[stuwilky]

That word is bandied about way too much.

David Dunn is not a Rovers legend.

[OJRovers]

I would class him as a bit of legend, but different people have different ways in which people get legendary status in their eyes.

On a purely footballing status, no

but in my view there's a few reasons why for me he is:

-Playing for Rovers, being part of beating Burnley 0-2 and 5-0

-Smashing a goal past Pete Schmichael

-Still going out round blackburn with his mates, rather than buggering off to cheshire

-Dating a glamour model!

-Being down to earth still and have time to talk to fans

-Doing our half time draw even when Brum were playing at the same time

For these reasons I think he's a legend

Wicked.

John Curtis = Rovers legend

[AggyBlue]

David Dunn is not a Rovers legend.

Correct.

David Dunn is a 'what might have been had he not spit his dummy out and buggered off to the big club'

[revolutionrock!]

Craig Short=Legend 2 Goals !!
