I liked Dunne, his pace is a real attribute,  but his defending was erratic and his injury record is horrendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be 33 in August so probably has another year or two in him. I wouldn’t be against Murphy coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 No disrespect to Charles Dunne but if he is the type of player Goodwin is going to take to Aberdeen then he’ll be out of a job sooner than he thinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 If Dunne stays fit I think he's exactly what Aberdeen need. An old school defender who focuses on tackling and clearing instead of trying to be a winger or make Hollywood passes. I always liked the fact his priority was defending first, and enjoyed it when he gave players a 10 yard start and then just strolled past them to take the ball. Aberdeen's defence was woeful last season, so it won't take much to improve it. Of course, the staying fit part is the key and his track record on that is pretty poor. It's why we were able to pick him up for free in the first place. And I wouldn't pay £350k for him.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aberdeen have better defenders at the club so if they were bad last season they need to be looking at the full backs and general tactics rather than bringing in someone like Dunne.

weeyin Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 They currently have: Joe "he doesn't usually make mistakes like that" Lewis in goal. Jack MacKenzie Declan Gallgher David Bates Calvin Ramsay listed as first team defenders Ramsay is the best player in that list, but he is much more of an attacking wing-back option than solid defender (and likely to be gone in the summer). You could argue that McRorie was a decent fill-in in defence (although he was a bit ropey when I saw him play), but he should have been playing in the midfield.

dennyc Posted June 3, 2022 Report Share Posted June 3, 2022 Goodwin had an excellent track record at Alloa and St Mirren. Respected for developing players and discovering decent players from the likes of Ireland. Tactically he often outwitted both Robinson and Alexander. Not worked out yet at Aberdeen but it will. He inherited a shambles from Glass who in fairness had been thrown in at the deep end. And if it does not work out at Aberdeen, I hope he ends up at Fir Park some day. If Goodwin believes Dunne can help him to sort out that defence then he clearly has more faith in Dunne than some on here. Having managed Dunne at St Mirren I suggest he is in a far better position to judge than we are. He will also have taken Dunne's injury record into account and must have information that suggests those problems have been overcome. But it is a risk. Then again all transfers are. As with quite a few players, Dunne was never as poor as some on here would have you believe. Maybe not a superstar on the field but a decent player. One of those whose good performances were ignored by his critics but whose every mistake was met with glee by those same critics. And he was an integral part of the most successful team we have had in recent times. A player who always gave his all. I believe if he had not picked up that terrible injury in an early season League Cup match (at Stranraer?) he would have been a key player that season and beyond. The Club clearly thought so as well given the number of times he was given a short term contract in the hope he would fully recover. St Mirren and Goodwin took a gamble and offered him a two year contract when we were not prepared to do so. And that worked out fine. So if he ends up at Aberdeen, good luck to him. He has earned that reward. And if St Mirren benefit to the tune of £350k, well done them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Pittodrie wider than Fir Park?  Maybe his balls launched forward will stay on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you know I took a wee turn for the worst Tuesday… I had another scan Tuesday and unfortunately the cancer has spread far to quickly for normal… The situation is that now the surgeon has let me know I just have between 4 - 6 weeks to go, There’s lymph nodes in my neck that has been attacked by the cancer and I’m now going to the Beatson Monday to get a protector fitted ready for a session of radiotherapy on Tuesday to blitz it….  If been told that later next week I’ve got the first bed available for St Andrews Hospice to spend some quality time with my Son Danny and grandkids and of course my family…..and friends.. It’s a quality place with the best facilities and medication… Tbh it’s the best place to be for my treatment and for R+R so I’m looking forward to getting there..

Stuwell2 Posted June 24, 2022 Report Share Posted June 24, 2022 Reports of David Turnbull being linked to a move to West Ham and that they’ve offered £9m while Celtic are holding out for £11m. Would be a great move for him and a great pay day for Motherwell if there is a reputed 10-20% sell on clause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
