Pretty sure they're already doing that. Richard Dunne posted this on his Twitter feed.
According to Dan McDonnell, Trap is to visit Richard in Birmingham tomorrow to "clarify his situation": https://twitter.com/McDonnellDan/sta...10585843466240
Not sure if that's his injury situation or potential retirement situation...
Meanwhile, just came across this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...=feeds-newsxml
Apparently, Stoke are interested in buying Richard off Villa.
With the way things are going this current campaign looks like a write off so is there any real point in using Dunne anymore? Or anyone else who won't be around for Euro 2016.
Why is Trap even here anymore managing a transitioning team that'll have to transition again in 2 years under a new manager.
With Shay and Duff gone, I think we need all the leadership and experience we can get. I would have doubts about Dunne's continuing fitness though. Players like Whelan, Andrews and McGeady (yes, he's one of our most senior players now) are really going to have to step up.
Congratulations on being the first person to write off a qualifying campaign before it's even started. It may not end well but give the team a chance at least.Originally Posted by Murfinator

We'd have struggled at our best, without our best players why would we even be competitive?
If it forces us to alter our style of play, then yes it could be beneficial. One of the mainstays of recent campaigns has been our reliance on our wingers to allow us to hold onto possession. With Duff gone, we only have McGeady because McClean, bless him, is not the man you want if you're trying to hang onto the ball. If that forces our midfielders to take more responsibility for the ball, we might find ourselves actually playing a bit of football for once.
This would make sense if we had a new manager. This won't happen under Trap, it hasn't happened under any team Trap has ever had. If McClean can't be duff then he'll play Fahey or Coleman and we can revel in having a poor mans Duff for 2 years in the same system while we slug it out with Austria for 3rd. He won't change jack.
You've just said it right there we've lost literally the one and only player we had who was able to retain possession and that is and and continues to be our gigantic problem, there is no fixing that without dramatic system changes. Those won't happen, we'll play a broken system and hit lows we haven't seen in the Trap era.
Trap did change things for the Serbia game and we looked better as a result, despite McClean's inability to keep the ball at his feet. And I didn't say Duff was the only one who can hang onto the ball - McGeady does too, and Robbie. McCarthy and Gibson are more than capable too.
As I said on another thread about potential Irish transfers, I would not put to much belief in anything reported
in the Daily Mail, it seems the Daily Mail is the only major 'newspaper' reporting the story so It may be true
only in the imagination of the reporter.
Yeah, Trap is not only going to Villa to see Duff, he's watching a match too!

Unlike the other Daily Mail Irish "rumours" that are carried this week the Dunne to Stoke one is something mentioned from a lot of sources.
Good news - big Richie is going to continue his international career

If the Duff situation is anything to go by, this means he's definitely going to retire.
Of course. Doh!
Though, he didn't emphatically rule out retirement in the new year .
