David Dunn
 

Confirmed he's leaving Blackburn in the summer.
BBC Sport - David Dunn: Blackburn Rovers midfielder to leave club in summer

I know there's been plenty of rumours in the past of him coming here, either as a player/coach or to manage.

He states he wants to keep playing for the moment - would anyone be interested in seeing him here? Does anyone reckon it's even a possibility?

Re: David Dunn
 

Would love it if we signed him.

Reckon he could perform the role Bryan Hughes did a few years back.

Re: David Dunn
 

Would give young Buxton some competition in the first to the pie van run

Re: David Dunn
 

Don't make them run they'll both be off injured for 6 months!

Re: David Dunn
 

would be excellent signing if his attitude is right and not just here to prolong his career as some oler players do

Re: David Dunn
 

I think Dunny has an affection for the club. I heard he would love to play for Stanley at some point, but like any footballer they have a level they want to play at whatever point in their career they are at.

Re: David Dunn
 

Could it be a "Dunn" deal?

Look I'm really sorry about that pun.
I shall go and stand in the corner now and think about what I did.

Re: David Dunn
 

It would make sense for him to come as a player coach, while helping us it would give him a good grounding in management and just how unforgiving it can be. But this is pure speculation, coley might be very happy to stay and carry on. But whatever happens, Decisions must be made quickly if a management change is to be made or the club directors have the opportunity on Thursday night to make a statement one way or the other.

Re: David Dunn
 

Do you really mean Friday night?

Re: David Dunn
 

I reckon Blackpool and Wigan would like him, and they can afford to pay him when he's injured,unlike us!:hesoff:

Re: David Dunn
 

Don,t think he would want paying if he played for us.

Re: David Dunn
 

He was on Radio Lancashire last night and said his next move won't be for financial reasons! So who knows!

Re: David Dunn
 

travelling could be an issue, the whalley road crawl

Re: David Dunn
 

Just seen this on the Beeb website:

BBC Sport - David Dunn: Blackburn midfielder open to Accrington move

Well I wonder .....

Re: David Dunn
 

Get him on board.

Re: David Dunn
 

Totally agree we as a club including fans should do all we can to get David on board for next season make him feel welcome he could work wonders for Stanley not just on the pitch but off it as well come on Dunny you know you want to.

Re: David Dunn
 

I well remember David's home debut for Rovers at about 18 years old. It was obvious that he had tremendous talent, crunching into tackles with bigger, older players without fear, spraying passes long and short, and covering every blade of grass like a turbo-charged Luke Joyce, and having great skill on the ball. I know time and injuries has taken its toll over the years but I think he would be a great addition to our squad to have him, if only for his potential to change a game in our favour for the last 30 minutes or so if we need a goal or two. I would really like it to happen!

Re: David Dunn
 

Bring him on !!!!!

Re: David Dunn
 

Great news on the Fishy site that Professor Coleman is also keen to bring in Mr.Dunn. Let's hope he can secure his services, he'll provide a lot of experience and inspiration to the benefit of the younger players.

Re: David Dunn
 

Get David signed on Coley!:)
Talking to some Rovers fans and they love him and said they would come on to Stanley to watch him!:sonic:
Thus swelling our gates a bit and possibly getting some 'converts' to the Stanley cause.:theband:
ON STANLEY ON with DUNNY driving the bus!:alright:

Re: David Dunn
 

Would be a good signing for you guys, despite his recent injury problems.

'Older' players can work or otherwise. It all depends on their attitude but by the sounds of it he's not after a 'final' huge pay deal.

Re: David Dunn
 

I'm a Rovers season ticket holder, have been for a number of years. David Dunn is still, in my opinion, technically our best player, he's just lost his pace and a shame he has had a lot of injuries.
If you keep him fit he will be head and shoulders above any other player in League 2.

Re: David Dunn
 

The trouble is that Stanley play on the same Saturday as the Rovers so unless that changes I can't see many Rovers fans coming to watch Stanley.

Re: David Dunn
 

Watch the space.

Re: David Dunn
 

We are certainly in need of a defensive organiser to eradicate the habit of gifting goals, which confines us to the lower reaches.

Re: David Dunn
 

you spotted the deliberate mistake then.

Re: David Dunn
 

Says in this mornings Mirror, Dunny set to be offered a Player-Coach Role by Stanley, Certainly hope thats the case n he accepts.:)

Re: David Dunn
 

coleman has spoken with him

Re: David Dunn
 

Poor man's Simon Carden.

Re: David Dunn
 

I would like to see David Dunn playing for Stanley.
- By the way just wanted to say, they are good people on here. Certainly.-

Re: David Dunn
 

I read something in the Lancashire Telegraph a couple of days ago quoted to John Coleman that sounded like a deal with Stanley may be on the cards but not for Dunn to be playing right at the very start of the season.
Now I don't quite understand that and I believe Dunny has got other deals in the pipeline as well but anyway we shall see....

Re: David Dunn
 

HITC Sport reports that Dunn is being lined up by Dean Saunders for a player coach role at Chesterfield. Doesn't sound good for us.

Re: David Dunn
 

Don't do it, David. That would be one hell of a commute. The last time we played Chesterfield the coach only just made it for the kick off. As Rigby's finest crawled through Hathersage on the way there I noticed "Coleman's Cafe" on the High Street!

Re: David Dunn
 

Don't go to Chestetrfield, Dunny,,, the spire looks like it's falling over! Health and safety?

Re: David Dunn
 

That spire is once again the most crooked thing in Chesterfield after the departure of a certain someone.

Re: David Dunn
 

Interim Player/Manager at Oldham.

Re: David Dunn
 

That was mentioned on league show last night, maybe it was in the pipeline from the start - just probably not expected to happen so quickly, good luck to him

Re: David Dunn
 

Just been sacked by Oldham................

Wonder if he could still do a job in midfield for us until the end of the season.... :cool:

Re: David Dunn
 

Probably yes but would think this is his last chance to join Stanley come on David could just help push us to promotion and help you forget about Oldham.

Re: David Dunn
 

Would be interesting to see if he did sign how many Rovers fans he could attract!

Re: David Dunn
 

If hes asked, reckon it would certainly be a good addition on the home run.

Re: David Dunn
 

Didn't Coley say something when Dunny left Rovers & there was speculation about him coming to Stanley along the lines of he probably won't start the season with us but it was highly likely he'd be on the pitch by the end of it?

Re: David Dunn
 

yes he did say this at the supporters meating. the problem is that signing him might feel a threat to coley if this season peters out. could depend on what dunny feels his future is. a lot of ex players have a go at management, get the sack and never try it again. if he does sign it would put bums on seats but who would you drop to accommodate him.

Re: David Dunn
 

If Crooks lets his form slip, he could be the right man to fill in. I love Proccy and would happily see him slot in but it could be good to have options, especially with Dunny's experience.

Re: David Dunn
 

If he did sign, he & Proccy could do 45 mins each if neither were up to doing the full 90 :)

Re: David Dunn
 

Proc said before Christmas that he was looking at the possibility of going out on loan in January to get his match fitness up!

He's had quite a few injuries and is the wrong side of 30, I think it was the Wimbledon game where Proc come on as a sub and got subbed back off not long after without any sign of an injury!

Hope for him to prove me wrong though!

Re: David Dunn
 

I see Oldham have nicked John Sheridan from Newport - bet they're happy bunnies! speed with which he's been appointed suggests it was a done deal before Dunny was sacked

Re: David Dunn
 

Dunnys been appointed under 21s coach at Blackburn today i heard, best wishes to a top geezer.:)
