Thought he deserved a thread on what is likely to be his last game for us . His form has had some ups and downs but he has given us some brilliant memories . His attitude today was superb and professional . He was screaming at his team mates for more effort today , I looked at the clock 10 seconds of added time to go . Fantastic attitude . Thanks Jim |  | | |  |

It's bonkers, mad, insane, just wrong but perhaps Jimmy simply does not want to sign and is looking for possibly his biggest/last big pay day. If I was in his position I would be doing everything I could to get as much money as I could, wherever that was. [Post edited 6 May 11:11]

I hope the Club comes to its senses and puts a decent affordable realistic contract offer on the table and likewise I hope Jimmy Dunne realises that his future is with QPR and not the Premiership where he would get found out whenever he plays, if he plays.....top lad and well done this season. |
Plenty of players worse than JD playing in the prem. Deserves his chance to progress his career. | | | |

...I'm also not convinced he sees himself as a right back so that's something else he'll be factoring in...and whoever the new manager may be, with Morrison and JCS tied down contractually and rumours re a Cook extension, he's far from guaranteed as a starting CB if he re-signs with us. |  |

That's a good point. No way of knowing if whoever the new manager is will see him as a continuation RB, whereas when he's talking to new clubs he'll be asking the manager signing him where they see him playing |  |

Are you saying he'd 100% prefer to be centre back? | | | |

We should be competing with clubs like Bristol City, not a few rungs down.
If our overall wage bill was £23.6 million, another £0.2 million a year for Dunne or less, is not going to break the bank.
We would have to fork out way more than £0.2 million more to get in a equally effective player in terms of transfer and wages combined. It would cost us way more than simply offering Jimmy a suitable pay rise .
Hence the suggestion to go all out to keep Jimmy. He is that important for ourselves.
And the fact that Bristol outdo us in terms of turnover etc, shows how poorly run our club is.
Being in London, we really should be making way more money than we do. That's down to the club being poorly run also.
It really should not be that Bristol City are a much bigger club than ourselves anyhow. |
Being in London, by itself, does not mean we should, automatically, have bigger revenue. Ground capacity limited, competition for commercial revenue from PL clubs, lack of options for a new, bigger ground, all mean we are hamstrung. |  |

He has a much better chance of getting into the Ireland squad as RB rather than a CB so think that will play a big part in his thinking. |  |

Where have we got the £200k figure from?
That's (only) less than £4k per week isn't it? I'd imagine one of your better players is on more than that per week, or is that the pay rise to keep him?
I'm no expert, but a new club would be offering a signing on fee probably worth more than that alone (although I think they spread it over the contract length).
JD's stats this season have made him one of the better performing defenders, I'm just gutted the club couldn't get something for him if he has to move on, as this should be the overall plan... Then use any money to buy players like Morrison or Edwards, who have the potential to make serious money in the future |  | | |

He has been a pretty decent championship defender playing at RB......a lot different skills needed for a Premiership defender. I would suggest he would find life very difficult indeed, back-up at best. A big asset of JD is his heading and tackling.......a RB in the Premier doesn't do much of that but they do have very good technical ability. | | | |

Bristol City have a capacity of 27k and an average attendance of 22k.
QPR have a capacity of 18k and an average attendance of 15k.
Can you see why they may have a higher turnover than QPR? | | | |

Really hoping he stays.
I'll be surprised if Blades win the play offs but if they don't I expect they'll be back in with another offer. In the meantime have our amazing board even put a new contract under his nose for consideration?
No doubt Jimmy is a great pro and superb in the air but I do wonder what his best position is? Been a bit of revelation at RB and I'm wondering if he's now better there than at CB? Although often at CB, you're only as good as the partner playing next to you.
Come on Nourry and co., do everything you can to keep him at the club. |  |

Remember he can go on a free now. Sheff Utd don't need to put in an offer. |  |

Ah yes true.
But IF they get promoted I don't think Blades will come back in; curious then who does show interest, probably another of the top half teams. | |

Birmingham with a silly salary offer.
Hopefully Jimmy has more ambition than that. |  | | |

Or Wrexham maybe.

They will, as a squad player, after all, the likelihood is that when not if, you get relegated from the Prem, you will need a load of proven Champ players on the cheap when you return to the Champ and offload your Prem stars that you also signed.
Getting them in on a small signing-on bonus and a contract rate that goes down when relegated is the way to do it cheaply. And being promoted is the time to do it. Especially to avoid doing a Luton.
Best get them all in now, while you can. If Sheff Utd do go up, I expect Wilder to bid for Chair, he clearly has the hots for him too.
Otherwise, you will pish away your parachute payments as Luton did. No, now is the time to do it. I mean, who wants to end up paying Chong loads of money to run around like a headless chicken, when you can get Dom Ball from L1 for free? |  |

Jimmy's not getting out of bed for £200k pa. He's estimated to be on more than double that as it is. The average salary in the Championship is between £10 and £15k per week, so he'll likely increase his salary and earn a signing-on bonus with a move this summer. |  | | |

Well let's get rid then !!!@
For me it's likely we get the Eze money this term. £15 million minimum but even an extra £750k for Jimmy, for some would not be offered Jimmy's way.
For me where there's a will there's a way and it does seem Eze will move this close season and that money then takes our turnover and profit way past Bristols but bow to being battered by the majority on this.
For me keeping Jimmy would be a massive priority but seems am in a minority of one.
Shut up Numpty !!! |  |

if/ when eze is sold ill be supprised if who ever is manager gets a third of the fee recieved, plus that budget is likely to be less as they have to factor in paying the manager and coach off , if the rumoured furlong deal happens as replacment for jimmy thats makes ser sense to me as well , id keep jimmy in a heart beat to be honest . |  |

As much as I'd hate to see him go he's not exactly Carlos Alberto or Lilian Thuram! players at all clubs come and go so it is what it is. I would imagine he's been tapped up by someone offering him a big pay day as they won't have to pay a transfer fee so at his age you can't blame him if he goes. For all we know we may well have offered him a new contract on more money and he's decided he wants a new challenge and more money. | | | |

Not just payday. He lives the club (I think) but he's not an R through and through the way Bircham Gallen or Cook were. We are a basket case club with in fighting between the manager and CEO, we are playing him out of position and likely to be bottom half of the table next year. If a championship club that is pushing for promotion but needs a centre back comes in with more money he'd be crazy not to go. |  | | |
