Richard Dunne was he really that bad?

[Toronto Villa]

Great to start with, for a season, then considerably not great.

He always came back from a summer break looking overweight.

I thought at the start of the McWaste season he looked in really good best shape. It just went downhill from there.

[Louzie0]

He wasn't available for Villa the whole of last season. I recall it was somebody's (Gilmore's) groin that was the injury.  It sounded terrible when I looked it up.  I was dead sympathetic.

He was available for international duty this summer and now he's fit enough to be bought by QPR.

He is a consummate professional and so is his agent.

[Des Little]

Fat wanker. That is all.

I remember seeing him hit a back pass to Friedel.

Dunne was pretty much the only person (other than Friedel) in our half. He turns around, tries to stroke it back to Friedel, and puts it massively wide, in to touch.

The entire Trinity Road stand erupted in laughter (and, let's be honest, we don't get emotional easily).

[TheSandman]

For his first season, no. He was very, very good for us then.

Halfway through his second I was considering buying a bottle of Champagne to quaff upon his departure. Good job I didn't as it took him so long to fuck off that I'd have forgotten why I'd bought it by the time he left.

After a few games I thought MON had made a masterstroke of a signing but after MON left we really needed his experience along with quite a few other players to stand up and be counted for and help the youngsters get used to the Premier league. But what happened was a shambles and him and a few others let us all down.

[PeterWithesShin]

I've never particularly liked the fat fuck. Was okay for a while the first season, helped cost us the 2010 final, always looked capable of majorly fucking up in a game. The disgraceful way he acted towards Sid, which as far as I was concerned should have seen sacked on the spot. And 'earnt' more money last year than most of us will see in our lifetimes while contributing fuck all because he was too busy yamming down cream buns in Greggs.

[Clark W Griswold]

Good first season, shite afterwards but we have had worse. Glad we've moved him on though.

[PeterWithesShin]

You're gonna need a bigger shirt.

[Sexual Ealing]

He'll do well under Redknapp I reckon, I get the impression he only responds to 'old-school'. Won't be missed.

[ciggiesnbeer]

Decent player. Always gave his all. His time for us had passed though. Good luck to him at QPR.

[Olneythelonely]

Good in his first season but then when downhill from there.

Massively unprofessional and hugely unfit. A piss artist who made some bad mistakes, if he'd have been brilliant we would have forgiven him, unfortunately, he was average overall. At best.

I'd nearly already forgotten about him to be honest.

[Steve67]

A waster. Ok to play for Ireland the minute the season had ended but couldn't be bothered to lend some experience to our embattled and young defence during the season.  Good riddance to him and his 55k a week wage bill.  I don't earn 55k in a year.  That fat wanker got that every week!!

[VillaSpen]

As has already been mentioned, he mouthed off at Gordon Cowans whilst pissed up, was ridiculously overpaid for a player of his ability and was an accident waiting to happen in most games he played in. A fitting punishment for acting like a twat is that he'll be stuck with Redknapp for a little while.

[Matt C]

Good first season declining thereafter with a very brief encore when he put a couple of decent performances in at the end of the McLeish season.
