Jesus, 17 pages about a player leaving. He isn't even very good, yet some on here are behaving like we are selling Messi.
Grab the money and run. |
Oh my God are we selling Messi as well? |  |

He is good though.
He’s been our main attacking threat in a run of games that put us top of the form table, scored 3, caused chaos, made every corner and long throw a chance to score. I haven’t seen a player that dominant in the air in the attacking sense since Les (and posh Matt Smith)
You could see in today’s game we weren’t hanging corners to the back post where Dunne would win them every time
He’ll be a loss to this team no doubt, it’s a real shame |
He can't pass, he is not good technically and not that quick. Bumped out to right back because he is ropey down the centre.
Players like this don't improve your team. He isn't even going to Sheff Utd as a first choice, he's being bought because Wilder can't possibly play a few games without his first choice centre backs. |  | | |

We missed him today and he would have definitely won the header that led to their 2nd goal . | | | |

IIRC, when Dunne was shifted to the right, he was at a crossroad - if he failed to impress, that would be his end of it at that stage. But he did spectacularly after an initial bump and never looked back, made right back his position even ahead of players naturally playing in that position. And he was an outlet for goal kicks (Begovic was ropey) and also Dunne became an attacking aerial threat as well in free kicks and corners into the box and scored a few goals including that worldie versus Brum
Now that was partly down to the player but a major part was Marti’s willingness to experiment and gave Dunne a new lease of life at QPR. Would anyone have given him a contract extension before this miraculous change not to mention an improved terms at that. I think that answer is a resounding no.
Is he a loss, I bet you he will be, but in the short term at least for now in a few games where we as a team needs to recalibrate and give ourselves a new focus and confidence. If Dunne goes, he will be missed, but I am sure Marti will find a way to play without him and perhaps he could make another Dunne with one of squad player hitting a crossroad at this point in his career. EDB? Madsen? Not necessarily at right back though
Playing Edwards at right back tells me that position is a weak link and Dunne is 90% going, it could be Ashby starting if Dunne is not feeling 100%. They are trying out if Edwards could be playing Marti’s “Dunne” strategy.
Perhaps we might find another way rather that relying on Dunne as an attacking focus. I am sure Marti can conjure up something special. I credit Marti in transforming Dunne.
We move on (if he moves on) [Post edited 1 Feb 22:53]

Shoe in player of the season and massive loss, wins more headers than anyone in the league. | | | |

Well if he leaves he's not going to win it.
Although I'm not sure who would. Nardi maybe? |  | | |

To be fair, Nardi worries me with his distribution at the back and his lack of positional sight of all the players.
twice or more this last week has seen Nardi distribute awfully almost causing runs on our goal that could have been catastrophic.
A better keeper or a keeper coach might not be a bad idea in itself. |  |

Agree Connell
There is no denying Dunne has been the heartbeat of the team - £2 million is not a big sum of money in today's game, and apparently we paid more for Madsen and Celar so it's hardly bonanza time..
The thing about this, that is stupid, if Dunne has been sold, we have recently sold another right back and the only other one remaining has been poor and a loan too.
He could cover centre back too and Cook, Morrison JCS and Fox all injury prone and Edwards a loan.
Jimmy also is generally an ever present.
But none of that would matter, if we brought in a like for like replacement but no noise about this and two days left in the window.
I appreciate play offs are distant and promotion potentially way too early, but the sales with no replacement shows ZERO ambition. Going to a much more upwardly mobile club in Sheffield Utd FFS.
Ok if he is being paid more at Sheffield in their offer. Pay him..But no.
The position of 16th is ours !!
But yes rock up all those that are happy with that because all those that ourselves doing this now, that's what you are happy with !!
What an achievement !!!
Days like this, that i realise this club is consistently never going to amount to anything at all.
ZERO AMBITION !!!
If others can explain this as showing ambition, am all ears....
And although some are already saying we won't miss him if he is going - we all know we will..... As there is no replacement...
If you going to sell, there needs to be a suitable alternative...
Who is that then ?. [Post edited 2 Feb 0:13]

We don't know what is going on with Jimmy, whether he is not signing the contract being offered to him, if he wants to leave etc unless some of the ITK's on here know?
But if his salary demands are too high, if, then we have to let him go, not pay him what he wants. What you call Zero Ambition I would call maintaining the clubs wage structure. |  | | |

You’re describing a player who is THE clear front runner for POTY
I knew we were pretty shit but things must be worse than I thought

Slightly off the point, but it struck me today that Dunne is sort-of the reverse Paul Parker.
Parker was known as a right-back at Fulham,then Jim Smith (or more likely Peter Shrives IMO) hit on playing him in central defence. In an era when the big target man striker was king and centre halves were all massive you could see the puzzlement in opposing teams when, e.g, Kevin Sharpe won nothing in the air as little Parker soared above them.
Dunne looks exactly like a centre half of that era and has had his moments in that position but has really hit form as a right back.
My point is that Parker's centre half form at QPR got him into the England side and a big money move to Man Utd, and in both cases they played him at right back, where he was decent and never looked out of place in those teams, but frankly he was never as dominant as he was when he payed for us. I'm willing to bet that if Dunne goes to Sheff Utd they play him in central defence and he'll be OK but never the cult hero he is for us as the Irish Cafu. | | | |

Positive spin:
It could still be possible that he HAS signed a new deal, with the plan being to announce it on a rainy day, and coincidently SU or whoever made an offer in between.
Seems brave to turn down £2m on a player with 6 months left. Maybe that bravery comes from knowing he’s tied down for a few years.
Maybe it’s PR bollocks. You never know with this hall of mirrors club. |  | | |
