I figured rather than a new thread everytime we are linked with a player, why not one big long thread. Anyway heres what the Daily Express has said.

West Ham manager Alan Curbishley is hopeful of signing Manchester City captain Richard Dunne for about £6m.

Hasnt he been in brilliant form? if thats the case i'd take him, but i'd say we'd have to say bye bye to gabbidon and collins to get this signing. + itd almost certainly mean tomkins would be pushed furthur from the starting team. So its a bit 50/50 really.

I Also hear we are gonna start contract negotiations with Deano, which i hope is the case.

FFS Richard Dunne is not a CREATIVE Midfielder either he is a workhorse and we have HEAPS of them,not for me this Transfer RUMOUR

Perhaps im getting dunne confused with Micah Richards.

I was saying to scotty earlier i don't quite know HOW to define a Creative midfielder. He used benayoun as an example but i can't think of many we could really get.

Dunne is a backwards step IMO. Another brilliant recruiting coup by Curbs if it is true and he pulls it off.

I wonder if Nani has had a say in this. I wouldn't have thought so.

Dunne's form has tailed off but overall he's a had a strong season. I'm not a massive fan of his but on balance he's made less mistakes than say, Anton (and he's rumoured to be leaving) I'll admit, he's no glamour signing and is probably more of an "old fashioned stopper", but I'd play him above Anton, Collison and Neill. Would be a good pairing with Upson but we'd need some speedy wing backs (not a big Shorey fan but he's reasonably quick)

They haven't had a "hard at it" midfielder since Viera left so he is looking at filling a void.

Err, Richard Dunne is a CENTRAL DEFENDER, no longer plays in midfield and hasnt dunne (get it?) for years. He's won Man City's player of the year for the past 3 seasons and is quick as fuck considering his size. Whether or not he is who we need to buy, however, you can debate all day long. The question should be why would HE want to come to US???

P.S How can you get Micah Richards confused with Richard Dunne????
