I know my stuff I can’t make up my mind about him and our group have different views. I think he looks quick, is big, powerful and positionally ok but he does like to try long passes and I’m not sure they come off often enough. Left back? Maybe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Aberdeen supporting pal saying that the Dons are offering £200k for Dunne. Interesting, if true of course. Wow... Just wow! Take it and offer Conner a decent three year deal. He will become an Irish international and in a year's time we can get 3 times that for him at least. I'm thinking McCarthy thinks he can get a better gig down south. Does he need a lift ? Grab it with both hands.100% Tell them them to stick it Dunne is the left back we've been crying out for... I know my stuff I've wondered this. Can try it as he is at least contracted for next season. Try like Dunne, Joe, Fraser, Tait. This at least is a lineup all here until the end of 2023. I can’t make up my mind about him and our group have different views. I think he looks quick, is big, powerful and positionally ok but he does like to try long passes and I’m not sure they come off often enough. Left back? Maybe.As you say. Big, quick, powerful. Sometimes caught out ,but has the pace others don't to sort it out. His long balls are shite. I think to myself that Robo could find cover fine as he brought Mugabi to Motherwell and he is a cracking defender. He has all Dunne has and more. I'd hope he would be able to find someone similar for us to replace Dunne. Sent from my IN2023 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevo_smfc Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 200k for Dunne would be very decent. I don't think we have seen enough of him to justify his value being much more. If he were to leave I wouldn't be that disappointed. I would have liked McCarthy to have stayed, though with the interest down south in him last summer, I am sure he will feel he can get a similar interest when his contract expires. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 200k for Dunne is a bite your hand off moment. I am not convinced this is a deal that will happen though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might also need to bring some money in from transfer fees so yes, I could see this happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest though that seems to upset as many as it pleases. The Hearts manager comes to mind. He's originally from Erskine.

We were offered him last summer but JG didn’t think he worked hard enough defensively…..defies logic that we ended up with Jordan Jones who offers absolutely nothing defensively and young Henderson who has yet to learn that part of the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
