Richard Dunne

[The Situation]

its staggering that he hasn't played for us this season. we need an experienced man in the defense. it would also give the younger players more confidence having a figurehead to look up to as a leader.

[eastie]

I will be surprised if dunne plays this season .

He's taking the piss

Lerner and Lambert took the piss out of us by not replacing him in January.

Indeed given that they knew about Vlaar's issues it was criminal and may cost us tens of millions of pounds.

i dont think dunne will play professional football again

[brian green]

He will play again.   He is nailed on to play in America as soon as he has to sign out of the nursing home in Birmingham B6.

Fat fucker farrago more evidence that the franchise is fucked, dude.

[pooligan]

He will play again,but not for villa. Shows how desperate we are when we are hoping he gets fit ,in order  for  him to be able to add to his own goals and give his customary penalty away .

[N'ZMAV]

Something strange going on here, maybe a dodgy drugs ban or something and the club are using an injury to cover it up?....

I maybe way off the mark, but if you were a CB who was out of contract in the summer who still has a fairly decent reputation, would you be rushing to get back into a defensively fragile relegation threatened team?

[eamonn]

Yes, in order to prove to potential suitors that I can still play at the highest level.

[villadelph]

Yes, in order to prove to potential suitors that I can still play at the highest level.

The level of play has no bearing, its all about the money. He'll protect his assets and try to find a club in the summer. He'll end up on NYRB with Ireland and they can be rich and happy together for the rest of their days in a stress free league that calls for 80% effort.

[silhillvilla]

Hmmm strange one, there were rumours of drink, failed property ventures (he lost £25m) etc etc. could all be bollocks but strange that he's MIA.

He could do that for Ireland in the fixtures they have after the season has finished.
