otterjohn Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thought Jimmy did really well tonight. Dont think he will be with us again anytime soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CostaJambo Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Apart from clobbering his own team mate for one of their goals I thought he did OK overall and he will remember scoring on his EPL debut forever. Bit patronising of the commentator saying it was nice for him and his family though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
been here before Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The best loan deal we've had for a long, long time. Looked like a young Jack Charlton. I really like him- solid, old fashioned traditional defender and took no pish I believe the cliche is 'in a heartbeat'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Locky Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Don't think I've ever seen a loan signing endear himself to our fans so much in recent times. Was only with us for half a season but even I like the guy a lot and take genuine pleasure seeing him do well for himself. If he stayed fit all season, he would've been a big player for sure. Didn't realise until now though that he actually is Irish. I thought he was from down Lancashire way and just eligible for Ireland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jambonian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Even in the short time he was with us he looked far better than any defenders we've had in the last few years. Would have been a major signing for us if it had happened. Watched his goal the other night and thought he showed more passion after scoring than i've seen from most Hearts players in the last few years. Still had hope that we could even sign him on a pre-contract in January but after the other night he's already out of our league when it comes to getting players in. Still, least he loved playing for Hearts, maybe when he's made his money he might come back and pull on the maroon shirt again one day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't get the Jimmy Dunne love in. He was a decent enough loanee (certainly no world beater at the time albeit definitely showed potential) who played a handful of games. Nothing more. We slaughter Hibs for constantly salivating over a guy who played for them for years and helped end their Scottish cup hoodoo, yet we're doing the same (on this thread and even more so on Twitter) for a guy who played for our club 14 times and achieved precisely nothing.

Are we really that desperate? Not sure why you're calling it a love-in though - just a recognition that he was a very good footballer from a higher level, who we were lucky to have for a year. If Dunne was just "decent enough", what do you make of the dozens that CL signed or brought in on loan ? Off the top of my head, only McLaughlin, Lafferty, Haring, Naismith (on loan) and Michael Smith were as effective than Dunne. All about opinions though.

mitch41 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Jimmy Dunne out of contract in the summer. Has been sitting on the bench for Burnley and at 23 he needs to be playing every week. He’s on £3,000 a week. He’s a lefty as well and with Soapy these 2 would make a great pairing with Halkett and another lefty centre back to come in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheBigO Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 For me the deal with jd and similar is we should be appealing. OK dosh, regular games, international call ups, shop window. 1100 down to who else wants him. If Nottingham Forrest want him and he's likely to play, we're goosed. You'd hope we're asking. No even so much Jimmy but guys of similar status. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bunny Munro Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 Worth a phone call. I expect he will have teams willing to pay him more. Will the chance to play every week for a club he already knows (and whose fans already rate him) be enough to convince him to join. Only one way to find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
