[Archived] Should Dunny Have Come Home?

[Siriwan]

I'm glad he's back. Even if he is only cover until Reid returns he can be a good squad member.

Spanishblue, are you actually Spanish or just living here? I thought I was the only one

[T4E]

Virtually never as far as I can remember. Dunn played for them mostly on the wings or as second striker.

I'm sure I remember a fairly public falling out between Sav and Dunny when DD first went to Birmingham? Can anyone endorse that?

I think there were rumours to that effect, yes. Savage was the big cheese before Dunn arrived and he also took over penalty duties from Sav. He then proceeded to miss a couple, and Savage was re-instated as the taker.

However, from what i've seen whilst Sav has been a Rover, he does seem like a genuine team player and a well-liked member of the squad.

[Darth Paul]

I can't believe what short memories people have on this board, and also some of the nonsense written. Dunn IS a central midfielder and I am sure thats why Sparky has signed him. He HAS played in that position alongside Savage before and finally just because he is a different player to Tugay (which he is) doesnt mean he cant slot into our midfield perfectly well.

A fit again David Dunn is worth a fair few goals and assists a season and for that he is a cheap gamble worth taking...

[BigDom]

As per the poll, i'll sit on the fench on this one

Glad he is back (being a Blackburn lad) but I will wait to see how things go on the pitch before I have my opinion

I wish him well

[pleasure]

I was going to ask what number will he wear, but just saw ir on the official website: his old 8. A good candidate of being a fans's favourite in terms of shirts sold, isn't he?

Edit: Now we have two Nº8 according to our website. Will Savage let Dunny wear his old number?

i've heard, it'll be number 19.

[promoted2001]

He looks like his lost a lot of weight, but then again the pies in birmingham are @#/?

I think it was about who was the penalty taker.

[rover_groo]

I know I can't speak about hair, but dodgy cut on the head me thinks!!

[waggy]

brilliant to have him back

[Siriwan]

Confirmed by the official website, he'll wear the 19.

Can anyone spot a slight omission in this article?

I think the reason it took so long to announce was because Lee was sent to PC World to get one of those new SLIMMING CAMERAS

Good to have him back, but I still think we are short another player to cover Reidy.

[rover6]

Dunn's arrival (and assuming he stays fit) could signify a new more defensive role for Sav.

stick to being the crap of manchester ...

you dont even have a ground in bolton ....horwich city

green eyed pig hooved loon

[gazsimm]

nice to have him back he should of never left in the first place. Lets just hope he has injury free time back at Rovers and see the form he produced before he left us

[OhmiBRFC]

still find it funny they call us dingles

[joey_big_nose]

Dunn gives his reasons for the move

Thats actually very funny! However, it does only go to show that the support at Bolton is hurt by his decision. He is a quality player and the guy who wrote that article must have appreciated that.

Can't wait to see him make a cameo on saturday, but I have to say I will wathc every challenge he goes into with trepidation.

[FINRover]

Dunn back in home, I'm very happy.

[Paul]

I shall wait and see whether or not this is a good footballing move. From the heart I've always wanted Dunny back and I'm the happiest Rover you could find since I heard the news yesterday.

In those dark days in Division One (or whatever) Dunny was a shining light, a promise it could get better. I'll never forget sitting slap bang opposite him as the teams lined up for the England U 21s with Dunn as captain. He looked so proud, I was very proud for him and Blackburn Rovers.

David Dunn is a Rover - simple as that.

[yellowsubmarine]

Welcome home Dunny!

I hope he will be playing against Man City this weekend.

The game's LIVE on Starhub Cable TV in Asia at 1.10am!

PLAYERS OUT:

Dunn 5.5m

PLAYERS IN:

Savage 3m

Dunn 2m

Even if we do end up paying 2m for Dunn based on appearances - we've really screwed the big club over

With the money we got for Dunn - we replaced him with Savage and Dunn with a bit of change! Cheers Big Club!

[yellowsubmarine]

What about Damien Johnson and Tiny Taylor. How much did we sold them for?

Think we really should get a new song for him - how about

Aga-doo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree

David-Dunn Dunn Dunn, f*****d bolton and fat sam

Agadoo doo doo push pineapple grind coffee

David-Dunn Dunn Dunn came backhome to rovers

To the left to the right jump up and down and to the knees

To the left to the right runs up the pitch and scores a goal

Come and dance every night sing with a hula melody

Comes to play every game plays with a Rovers melody

Think "melody" needs replacing and dont really like the second line. Any ideas?
