Top Corner Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) He was a great signing for us.. . He's the sort of player we should be trying to KEEP. I'm not saying that his club would let him go.. but the amount of money we've wasted on utter crap over the years, We should be cutting that right down so that we've at least got something to offer these types of players. Oshaniwa, Amankwaa, Maulary Martin, Probably could of got a couple of dunnes for the money on those frauds. Not to mention all the journey men throughout the Cathro era and Cathro's wages. Probably could of signed Ronaldo. Edited February 19, 2019 by Top Corner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) I miss Jimmy Dunne. You got the impression that he "got" Hearts. He gave his all for the team, which is even more admirable since he was never actually our own player, just someone who came in on loan. It's not his fault he's not here, and wasting on the bench in League One. I bet if you'd asked him, he'd have happily stayed. That's exactly the sort of attitude we need on the pitch. People who want to play for the club, not just for the payslip, or the "stepping stone" to somewhere "better". I would love him to come back. It would not only be a statement of intent, and proof that we can attract a higher calibre of player, but I reckon he'd enjoy it back here as well!

I suppose the issue (if you ignore finances) is where he fits in between Halkett, Souttar, Berra and Dikamona. Berra's hamstring issue looks like its knocked his game big time which could mean a reduced role next season. Souttar is undoubtedly destined for big things, and Halkett is here to play games. I think signing Halkett was probably (if it was ever on the cards) the opportunity cost for Jimmy Dunne (At least for now). His attitude is first class and its a shame to see him faltering at Sunderland, although I suspect they could make Ronaldo look average.

1971fozzy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Dunne was great for us.

Voiceofreasonfortheseason Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Dunne was a class act, played very well against Hibs in the October Derby, seemed to have a hatred for them too in his post match interview. Exactly the type of player we need back. He is more than a solid defender, remember in that game how often he got us to the halfway line by carrying the ball.

I'm with you on this one Jammy. He was never the fastest but he looks like he's lost a yard of pace. He looks hesitant to put his foot through the ball when its needed. maybe he doesn't want to over tax his hamstring, I don't know. The lack of pace has meant he's had to get much tighter to players and he's been skinned quite a few times. Maybe a rest and a good preseason will sort him out but I have my doubts.

This is going to upset many folk but I think he's finished full stop. I mean, being realistic, what does he offer us if you take away his major attributes as this last injury appears to have done. His extreme enthusiasm and love for the club aint enough and although it would seem cruel letting him go, I think we should. After all, even the best thoroughbred horses through little fault of their own can find themselves in the knackers yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasavallan Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Makems! I spit in your general direction. Looking at CL's signing of Halkett and the new contract for Dikamona, I cannot see Berra being an automatic starter alongside Souttar UNLESS Souttar is sold which I doubt. Halkett must have been given assurances of his place before he signed. Souttar is international class. So unless CL is planning to go 3 at the back as his preferred formation for next season, Berra would appear to be the player to drop down to the bench or move on. I doubt Berra will be happy to be the club captain AND substitute. Time will tell. As for Dunne, I liked him but it is Burnley's call. He is 22 in October so either he moves into Dyche's 1st team squad or he is released. I doubt he will have another loan spell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Apprentice Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I’d take Jimmy Dunne back in a heartbeat. Selfishly, I’m kind of glad to see him on the bench at Sunderland as it would increase our chances of getting him back permanently. McGeough on the other hand has always been and will always be blighted by injury. When he was at Hibs he couldn’t put a long run of games together without needing a couple of weeks out and that’s continued since he’s gone south. When he does play he rarely lasts 90 mins (subbed after half an hour last night). Good player no doubt, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pasquale for King Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 It would be great to see Dunne back but it would appear unlikely. As a few have said before agents play a big part in loan deals, which is why he left and went to Sunderland to raise his profile. I think Burnley might want to sell him in the summer, he’s good but maybe not quite at the level they need. Unless we have another CH injury or Souttar is sold another 6 month loan up here doesn’t seem to fit in with our plans or his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo-Jambo Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Think Berra was back to soon and he has played every minute. Hopefully a break for a few weeks at end of season will help recover properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I'm wrong, but we've all seen players come back from serious injuries and are never quite the same as before the injury, I'm thinking that this could well be the case with Berra. Recovery from injury would be down to the severity of the injury and the age of the injured player. Berra will be 35yrs old next season, I suspect he will not be up to the rigors of playing in the premiership.. As an aside, Tasboy #1 suffered an ACL as an 18yrs old. He was back playing after a few weeks following daily physiotherapy at BUPA. The sad thing is that he injured the cruciate ligament on his other leg on his first game back (against Armadale Thugs FC) and had to drop down to playing amateur league. While Tasboy #2 is the professional footballer in the family, I always considered #1 to be the more promising player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
