All I have to add is thanks Lucas for your contributions and good luck. Now let's move on we are BRFC, Blackburn Rovers Football CLUB, get a replacement in, onwards and upwards.

I don't care why he's going. Bottom line is he wants out, all I care about now is that we get a good replacement.

A few small thanks to our Graeme for sorting it too. Hughes would have been at the club at the time so I am sure he heard what went on between Souey and Dunn, does this mean that fundamentally Sparky dis agreed with Graeme's handling of the situation. Surely if he thought Dunny was in the wrong we would not be here. Hope he get's fit, stay's serious and pulls this off. On the gate issue, I doubt Dunny's signing will add many to the gate but I have a gut feeling had we NOT signed him we would have lost a few (more). Or something in a brown paper bag??

I don't remember any knee ligament issues, anyone else?

Posturing, not wanting to be seen as not trying. I had the feeling ever since Hughes said " our injured players coming back will be like tree new signings" the we would not spend anything. well put, and good point

With Bolton?

Finally, some one sees it. Dunny needs to reject Bolton's courtings soon. That gives Brum time to consider a recduced offer from us before the window closes.

I agree 100% Rev, I mean if we don't get Dunny who will keep Reidy company in the treatment room? This is a real body blow for Rovers and for Reidy. Crushed.

Here's the deal, Dunny goes to Bolton, plays 19 games Sam won't pay the extra mil, we get him for the mil Sam paid, everyone is happy. Steve Bruce is out a mill and ###### cos he's at Rovers.

"Another" kick in the teeth?? What were the other ones?

According to the report in the link it's just about a Dunn deal. Bruce must be happy he's not coming to us. Where were we on the deal anyway, nothing real concrete came out of the club regarding any interest on our part. It seems Mr Dunn only loves Rovers as long as it doesn't cost him too much. I don't think we should sell Matty Derbyshire for that just yet. Half a season, if he can stay fit for half a season perhaps, that would mean he has "recovered".

Rovers through and through that Dunny.

I suspected at the time talk of this was surfacing (think I posted it somewhere on here) that Brum would not want to play ball with us on Dunny. It seems the silly buggars season is in full swing at the big club. The words coming out of Bruce's mouth seem to translate to me to mean we will sell him to anyone but Blackburn, if we do sell him to Blackburn I want to make them look as stupid as possible forbuying him. Anyway isn't Dunny already playing for Rovers of sorts, big club's made up of our cast offs

Wasn't he around 20 years old when potentially Dunn could be one of the best midfielders in England. All through his Rovers career we heard the words potential and David Dunn married together. Dunny goes to Brim and still the word potential is stuck either before his first name or after his last name. Now at 27 years old we find the word is still attached, like a festering tick. Just when will Mr Dunn lose this word potential. Don't get me wrong I am not against a Dunny return, in fact I sort of like the idea, heh heh it has potential but it's bloody well past time David Dunn put up or found the right level for himself. I don't think the word potential is going to get him too many paychecks under Sparky.

All sounds rather unprofessional to me on Dunny's part. Perhaps he was doing it on purpose to get out of there either way he will have to buck up his ideas. I hope he fully understands what he is coming back to, that crap will not be tolerated by Sparky's group.

I'd never seen him play and had the same feeling, one can put somethings together from match reports, word of mouth etc. Lo and behold look what went and happened today.

To me, the signs of a man whose mother did not give him enough attention. Missing the "limelight' of being the man in the middle.

Dunny returns against the pie eaters?? How poetic is that, perhaps Dunny has it circled on his calendar.

From where I sit I am afraid Gally's days with us are numbered. I don't know if he is a poor as some people say, I don't think he is, though he looks totally devoid of any confidence right now, or Hughes just doesn't rate him/his style/ his work ethic. Matty Derbyshire on the other hand seems to be quite in favour with MH and seems the one most likely to make it. He has made slow steady progress through the ranks. If he can bag a goal or two he may well be on his way to becoming a lot more regular. I have'nt seen but a few minutes of him, I'd like to see more. PS, here we go again Rev, it looks like I am stalking you again HEh Heh, I'm not.

Hear Hear, couldn't agree more. You'll see our performances improve as a team also. I sort of hope someone else comes in and pips Liverpool to his signature.

You are starting to sound like a Dingle now abbey, the stadium only holds 63,000 for Cardinals games but it is expandable to 73, 000 for Super Bowls and big College Bowl games. Cards are actually often outnumbered by the away fans since just about everyone in Phoenix is from somewhere else. Dallas and Da Bears are the big ones

Born is the King of Ewood Park, I used to love that song when the fans were in full voice, aah the memories.

Given Lucas' track record of leg breaking perhaps the scousers will throw in some extra cash for him not to play heh heh, may just save a Liverpool player 6 or 8 weeks in the treatment room.

Here's some advice for you tcj, it goes like this. Yer family?? Sod off I'm going the footy. That's pretty much it.

One of them under the watchful eye of Graeme "Hamstring" Souness. Also at Brum, during Dunny's time there, did they not suffer a rash of Hamstring injuries too. Perhaps it's as much poor training regimens than anything else.
