So if Spurs do get Dunne, I'd say he'll play alongside Woodgate, which as a Spurs fan, would suit me fine.

(Shame if King is finished, mind, since on his day he was the best of the lot :()

the latest on this shows king isnt finished. dunne is set to join portsmouth because spurs arent prepared to offer him a guaranteed first team place. they're offering him 40k a week and substantial bonus for appearances. dunne wasnt happy with this and didnt turn up as arranged for the medical on friday.

With Dunne set to join, and Distin and James already there, is Harry trying to recreate Man City's defence from 3 seasons ago?

It wouldn't be a bad decision on his part, I remember those three forming one of the most formidable defenses in the Premiership.

Distan and Dunne complement each other well, and James had a great understanding with them.

Assuming Dunne had a good relationship with those two guys, I'd say he's definitely going to Pompey.

Spurs would be the more ambitious, and therefore the correct move for Dunne.

its all well and good but the reality is no matter how well he does playing beside woodgate, ledley king will be wheeled out for the important games. bit of a sickener to play all the cup rounds and then miss the cup final etc.

I read he might stay at City if Hughes is appointed manager.

If Hughes does take over at City I'd like to see Dunne stay there. Hughes is an excellent manager who always seems to get the best out of what he's got.

I think Hughes would do a great job with a club of City's size as long as the tyrant gives him enough time. It'd be very disappointing if he ended up at Portsmouth - big drop down in clubs IMO

I still think he should move to Spurs. Top 4 two seasons ago, excellent manager in Ramos. Pompey are top six at best, and tiny stadium. FA Cup holders, sure, but Spurs have more scope to challenge for Champions League spot. That said, he obviously respects James and Distin, his ex teammates....

only spurs of the clubs mentioned would be a step up.How big of a step up i think i wiil let everyone decide that for themselves

Now that Hughes has been confirmed City manager I think one of his early objectives will be to keep Dunne at the club. Personally I'd like to see Dunne stay at City as I believe they're a better side than Spurs, Pompey, etc and he's very settled in the side
