Rovers Set For Dunn

[Rainmaker]

I just came up with a conspiracy theory concering the Dunn deal.

What if Rovers were letting Notlob do the "special" medical test, thus getting a second opinion.

you might be correct there!

"Now Rovers boss Mark Hughes believes he can restore Dunn to his former glory by offering him a fresh start at Blackburn, where the medical back-up and coaching staff are rated amongst the best in the Premiership."

also

"Rovers chairman John Williams has been granted permission to speak to the player after Birmingham finally accepted his latest offer last night.

A medical and discussions regarding personal terms were expected to take place this morning, and if all goes to plan then Dunn could seal his Rovers return by the end of the day in a deal that could eventually be worth £2 million.

Advertisement continued...

Speaking exclusively to the Lancashire Telegraph, Williams said: "We've got permission to speak to David Dunn and we are now going through the normal procedures regarding a medical and personal terms."

Although there's still some work to do before a deal is safely in the bag, Rovers now seem certain to pip Bolton Wanderers in the race for Dunn's signature.

The medical side of things should be a formality as the 27-year-old has already passed one stringent examination with Wanderers during the last few days.

The only thing that could scupper a deal, therefore, is a late hitch over personal terms, but Dunn is desperate to seal a return to Blackburn so that is unlikely to present a problem."

[Wiggy]

Next up a move for Duffer? Then we've tried to bring all 3 crown jewels back........

[broadsword]

I think it's worth the £1m just to pi55 Big Sam off.

[LeftWinger]

I'll be very happy when its all completed. I felt sick reading the headline about "Dunn Deal is Bolt from the Blue" over someones shoulder on the bus this morning. Excellent work from Rovers - bring back Dunn and ###### of Bolton in the process! Happy Days

One thing is for sure- the Bolton intervention will have scuppered any hope of pay for play type deals.

That would make any deal not worth the gamble.

That's what I'm taking out of it. I refuse to be optimistic about signing him though.

What? Shearer in a tardis picking up Duff and Duggy on the way? Now that just would be worthy of your description SAS.

Well I must say I am both amazed and PLEASED by this turn of events!! Yes really; I know I have opposed the attempts to bring Dunny back, but that was always with a feeling of sadness and regret. I doubted his fitness and ability to stay fit. But this morning I am feeling uplifted by the news that he has passed a stringent medical at Notlob, and therefore is fit enough to take a chance on. Also if any club has a chance of making this thing work it has to be Rovers where Dunny's heart lies and the facilities and coaching are first class.

Now we go on to phase 2; where Dunn has to do his bit and not only get match-fit, but STAY that way i.e no pies, and very much restricted night life and booze. IF he can do that I am sure we will have a winner!! Time alone will tell; fingers crossed folks and let's ALL now get behind the club and Dunny and give him a fantastic Rovers welcome back!!

How long until he gets injured again? Excellent decision as usual from Hughes and Williams. Up to 2 million is worth it because he's a local boy after all. Could sign me on that basis. Does Williams seriously think this is the best solution to the attendance problems? I have an idea that might improve crowds...stop selling our best players. If Dunn wasn't from the local area they wouldn't have signed him. It's obvious he's more concerned about living in the North West and that's why only North West clubs are after him. Look strange that clubs from other regions haven't shown interest dosen't it? He wouldn't go anywhere else. He cares more about his favourite nightclubs than he does about playing football. That's the factor in his decision not the club. I know it isn't fully confirmed but I would be shocked if it falls through. Hope it does but probably won't.

Wasn't the Bolton deal

750 up front

250 if Brum is promoted (wtf?)

1 mill after 50 apps by Dunn.

That is not 2 mill for an unfit player, its at most 1 mill for unfit player. An unfit player won't play 50 games.

jan molby did

Hmmmmm..... I think the second (repeated) version is slightly better (layout).

An old favourite can be added to the BBE's repertoire :

'DUNNY FOR ENGLAND'

As long as he earns that song!

[arealbrfcfan]

Does anyone know if its acutally going through then?

This is brilliant if Dunny comes home.

Kind of reminds me of the time Hamman was supposed to be signing for Notlob then City came in for him after the medical. Unlucky again Bolton!

[OhmiBRFC]

Dunnys coming home

He's coming home, hes coming home, hes coming

Sorry folks :ph34r:

[gbax]

My wife's family are Bolton fans and Ive been given some stick lately, funny how their mobile phones are tuned off this morning!

I wonder how Steve Bruce if feeling this morning! Oh, happy day!

Hmmm ... You should save that somewhere. Interpreted another way and that may yet prove to be very prophetic.
