He wasn't though, I could name 50 centre halves who were better than him, during my adulthood.

I´m sure you could name 50 cbs in your adulthood that are better than all the cbs we have had in that time though.

Doesn´t mean Dunne was crap, or wouldn´t have been good for us if he played here in his prime. There are a lot of footballers in the world buster!

 

[mythbuster]

well done so could I but he was still a good centre half

Didn't he lose his place in the City side to Lescott? *perspective*

 

[Groucho]

If only Dave Watson were still available.

This wouldn't have happened with a fully fit Kilbane.

If Jo was here we'd be scoring for fun.

Exactly - where do we stop?

If we don't stop somewhere, every player who ever left becomes our greatest 'player who never was'.

He was okay mate, don't get me wrong. He was also a fat peehead who liked the cheeseburgers a bit too much.

Average player mate. Not arsed we sold him. Rooney, though, on the other hand.... Still gutted we sold him.

He did yeah when he was getting past it.
A bit like when cahill lost his place in our team to fellaini an cahill was a good player I don't get your point

 

[Elong]

Phil Babb was a better defender than Dunn.

So, before he was past it, what did he achieve? I'm guessing he had an 8th place finish.

Does he have to win something to be a good player.
Is Barkley a good player?

Duffy is a unique case, well he is for me anyway

I've been annoyed when younger team members have been sold before, but this one has merked me more than usual

We'll see how he does at Blackburn, but I think he'll go on to be a solid Premier League Level CB, who we could have benfitted from

Him and Stones had a chance to develop a long term partnership that could have really gone somewhere

Again, if Alcaraz doesn't get signed, I think Duffy gets more games

HAHAHA, ridiculous comparison. If Barkley plays for two mid-table/relegation battling clubs for the next ten years, then perhaps we can make a comparison.

Matt Le Tissier?


Totally playing devil's advocate here

2 of our managers who looked at the lad every day in training, patently weren't confident in his ability at PL level.

I wish the lad well, but I'd have good money that he never makes a quality PL CB.

The only reason this thread has resurfaced is that we're defending like drains at the minute, but it doesn't somehow make Duffy the lost answer.

He was crap too. Never left his comfort zone. A liability and a lazy tvvat.

Wrong.
