Think you're lost mate,......here you go just follow the link, should get you home http://www.bluemoon-mcfc.co.uk/forum/index.php
I think you never watched Lescott play, "mate". He had one good season 2 years ago and has been so-so every other season.
Martin O Neill is a shrewder manager than Hughes and I think he'd have taken Dunne over Lescott any day of the week.
you're talking shit,...how many "good" seasons has Dunne had? how many goals has dunne protected us from? how many has Dunne scored? How many o.g's has Lescott collected?.....i'm not saying i don't rate Dunne or want him to leave, but you're spouting WUM shit,...HUGHES OUT, Micah's crap, Robby is a moaner, Tevez is a rag, Stevie isn't all that.......did i forget one?

But Dunne is honestly a class player, yes he gets OGs and reds but that's probably because of how commited he is to marshaling his area. Jamie Carragher has a similar number of both, would you question his quality? I'll admit Dunne had a poor season by his standards last year but I genuinely believe that was partly down to him playing with a different CB partner every week and partly down to two very dodgy full-backs who are getting caught out of position all the time. Prior to that Dunne was consistently City's best player year after year, including their best season in recent times under Sven where he was arguably the best defender in the league.
But the very fact that you're criticising a centre back for not scoring goals tells me that you don't have a very good grasp on the time, this isn't easy mode FIFA, kid where every player on the team should be scoring in 17-0 wins. Dunne has been every bit as good as Toure this season in holding two clean sheets, a perfect record thus far. To replace him in that form undermines his captaincy and the very value of good form in the team. It's not good management and will seep down to other players on the team, I can't even emphasise how bad from a PR point of view it is to have a club legend, the captain, the centre back with a perfect record this season discarded like that for some guy who doesn't even have to earn his place, he gets into the side on reputation alone.
For me, it's that kind of player management that will prevent City from ever cracking the top 4. It's not all about individual talent, if you lose the team spirit, guidance and what the club really stands for suddenly you're left with a squad of people with no passion for the club or fans, who just want money and fame. I've always defended City and hoped it wouldn't turn into that but for me if Dunne leaves it'd disgust me what this club is turning into.

I'd rather them both leave
TBH because he is gash
Dunnie because I think he and we should move on. However if we had to keep one, it would be Richard Dunne by a country moiiile

Very true, the first out the door should be that barrell of crap, wonder which numpty signed him??....I said when he signed, that TBH was garbage and proved correct, even though I got slatted on Citywanks because of it, and guess what?, thay are all saying the same thing now that he is crap!.
I wouldn't even ask for a fee for TBH, just kick him out of the club, as for Dunne, I know we need squad depth, but is he any better than Micah at CB?, or even Barry there?....the answer is NO, he looked good in a garbage team, as he was the best of a bad side, now he has quality players around him, he is found wanting each game as the weakest link of the side.

Are you having a serious laugh?
Your saying barry and micah are better center halfs then Dunne
Then your a rag on a wind up...Pathetic comment.

You mean the current version of Dunnie who has not shipped a goal this season?

Mate, I know you like Dunnie
I respect Dunne a massive amount. But I mean the current version who clocked up multiple red cards and own goals and individual goal-conceding errors last year. I've lost confidence in him and two Premiership clean sheets do not alter that. In the Blackburn match he could easily have been sent off and/or conceded a penalty for a wild lunge in the box in the second half. He's played well but, for me (as a first team starter) he is guaranteed points lost over the course of a season.
I want him gone, you don't. I won't persuade you to my way of thinking and you won't get me over to yours ;-)
