Richard Dunne

tardelli is on a different planet, kelly seemed grand last fulham game,he hurt his wrist thats all,but its all set up for mcshane to be included now.

they will use any excuse not to include mcclean,mccarthy and coleman,its pathetic.

Jasus Soccerc and Gerk. Your posts are more sensationalist than the Star's front page. Theres nothing new there. McCleish, Trap, Given, Dunne himself and, going by his quotes, Tardelli expect him to be fit. If Keane breaks a leg tomorrow he wont be in the squad either but we're presuming he wont have a set back.

I wouldnt even take into account what he says about the other players as its been consistently evident that he has litlle say in squad selection, going by his quotes in the past. Trap is his own man. But not surprising he (and Im sure Trap) noticed Coleman's mistake in the semi final, and the fact that McClean doesnt always have magnificent games.

As I said I do think he will struggle to make it but I do hope I am wrong as a fully fit Dicky is vital to that team in Poland. As for The Star paper? Nice bog roll

On delaying naming squad “We don’t know at this moment because we have many injured players I think it’s possible to change some things. It’s possible also to change the date. We want to wait on our players because they deserve to stay with us. We wait and I think we will speak with Giovanni and we know after one week if it is possible to do the squad or not.

On Dunne “At the moment [worry] is Richard Dunne. Richard Dunne is very important for us. We have a problem with Stephen Hunt, and (Keith) Fahey is out. Stephen Kelly is out. But I think the important problem at this moment is Richard Dunne because I think it is possible for the other players to recover very quickly.”

On Dunne being in squad if injured “If he is injured, is it possible for him to stay in the squad, no? Definitely not I think in two weeks everything will be okay. I spoke with him and we hope he will be ready on May 17th (the date the squad meets up).”

If Dunne, Fahey and Hunt are out “McCarthy we know. We know he’s a good player and now he grows because he’s playing with a bigger personality. I think now he is physically very good, very fit and I think whether in the Euros or in the future, he will be a very good player for us.

“McClean is a new player for us and he’s played very well all season. But I saw his last two matches and it’s true that sometimes you can play well and sometimes not. With young players, they can sometimes play two matches well and one match bad.

“Coleman is a definite for the squad of 30. Not definitely in the 23 but definitely in the 30. I think he made a mistake for the free kick when Liverpool scored the goal. His manager was angry because the goal came from it.”
