Wouldn't be a bad move for him. QPR should be relatively strong once Redknapp has rooted out the biggest wasters at the club.
signed for QPR...

Delighted.
I heard from a good source (see above) that he was at QPR for the last 2 weeks.
He must have indeed, impressed
U R's!
Richie Dunne starts for QPR today - great to see after such a long time out. If he can get a couple more games in then surely Trap will put him in the squad for the Sweden and Austria games.
I just made $170 on Villa. Should i let it ride on Swansea drawing with MU? Probably not right?
Let it ride, it the sensible thing to do!!
Dunne starting again today for QPR away to Bolton at 12:15.
Booked early after a clumsy tackle on Beckford.
Played the full 90 minutes in a 1-0 victory.
Trap was at the game according to Sindo. Probable starter for Sweden?
Great to hear his commitment and work-ethic being commended as people seemed to doubt his fitness and drive over the years for some reason. Maybe it was because he's a big lump...Quote:

I have no doubt he's a powerhouse sprinter once he gets going. I'd be more worried about how long it takes him to stop.
Another clean sheet for Dunne in a 0-0 draw at home to Brighton. 5 clean sheets out of 5 for him, pretty impressive.
Are QPR still playing 1-1-7-2?!
Another clean sheet in 1-0 win at Yeovil... 6/6....
QPR manager Harry Redknapp said:
"It was a tough three points and I thought Yeovil were unlucky to lose the game. They played well and put us under pressure.
"I've been around long enough to know that you rarely come to places like this and turn teams over. Yeovil will give anyone a game as this isn't an easy place to come.
"We defended well again and dealt with a lot of set plays late on. Richard Dunne was immense, and so was Rob Green."
7/7 after beating Boro 2-0 at home on Saturday. A club record.
In his Monday column in The Times a couple of weeks ago Tony Cascarino called Dunne the Vincent Kompany of The Championship and said it was mad that an EPL outfit didn't come in for him.
8/8. Beat Barnsley 2-0 at Loftus Road.
The beautiful Loftus Road Stadium, where I have enjoyed many a scotch egg.

Dunne: Me hellbent on Euro 16 if manager wants me.

I think it's great that he's still interested, but he'll be 35 by the time the next qualifiers roll around, with no guarentee of his fitness, which in my opinion wasn't good in the Sept matches just gone.
I'd be looking to figure something out between Clark, the doc, Delaney, Duffy and possibly Wilson.
He was out for a year in fairness so he's still only working his way back to full fitness. He's still our best defender by far and could be crucial in the development of Clark in particular. I'd consider moving O'Shea to left back if Wilson doesn't up his game. Obviously he'd be limited in an attacking sense but pretty sound defensively.
Good that he is still keen to play QPR's defense is premiership quality.

Liquid football!
Dunne concerned over Irish future:
http://www.goal.com/en-ie/news/3942/...ireland-future
Dunne has kept himself very fit, from what I can see, after Keegan balled him out of it.....Paul McGrath was almost 35 in 1994 and managed to turn in probably the best defensive performance I've ever seen. Dunne is a legend and at the very least he should be kept around the squad even if he isn't starting.
I remember Moran was in the USA '94 squad for cover. He certainly could have done a job had Babb or McGrath gotten injured
I've reasonably high hopes for Clark but he's only learning yet. I'd still feel safer with Dunne at the back than with anybody else.
Hopefully he can be around for some of the next qualifiers but definitely at the swansong stage.
Cracking finish today, two years and one day since his last strike, for Villa away to Arsenal

It was a bit like Zidane's legendary Champions League Final goal at Hampden. Slightly different context I'll admit, but technique was similar.
and Robbie Keane's goal in the World Cup against Saudi Arabia
