Martinez hasn't even been confirmed as manager yet!

It's definitely just paper talk 100% but I do feel Martinez will go for McCarthy whichever club joins.

Interesting that he mentions Chelsea being interested at one point, I remember that, but dismissed it at the time.

I wouldn't be that sure myself. If he doesn't leave this summer I could easily see him going in January. Is this the drink bringing out an emotional side to you after Dunne's performance last night?

I think City's defence will be well settled by January. As Giles said, when Dunne plays like he has been for Ireland fingers have to be pointed at Man City for his club form.

**irishfan86** · 07/06/2009, 7:56 PM

I watched a fair few of Man City's matches this season, and it's obvious to see that their problem is the midfield.

Dunne lives in two extreme realities- with Ireland, he has a ridiculous amount of midfield support to help with defending- at Man City, they play with 5 attacking players at times, which leaves their defense completely exposed.

I think the arrival of Gareth Barry at City will make them more solid as a team, and thus City fans will have their 3 time player of the season back again.

Yeates has an eye for goal but is a bit lightweight. Can't ever see him making the international team.

As regards Dunne, only one winner there. Spurs, especially with his mate Robbie there already.

I could see Everton or Sunderland, but if he went to Spurs I think he'd just become a squad player since they have the likes of Modric who plays on the left (perhaps Redknapp wants to change his system around so that Modric plays in the middle though, so who knows).

Don't tease me

He's well good enough for Roma imo, and would be a perfect home for him. I honestly don't feel England suits McGeady, he should for himself give it a go in Serie A if he can achieve a move there.
