Thought he deserved a thread on what is likely to be his last game for us . His form has had some ups and downs but he has given us some brilliant memories . His attitude today was superb and professional . He was screaming at his team mates for more effort today , I looked at the clock 10 seconds of added time to go . Fantastic attitude . Thanks Jim |  | | |  |

Everything is hearsay, but I think a lot of people are struggling to come to terms with the very real possibility that Jimmy Dunne might actually want to leave the club. |
Spot on.
If anyone here actually believes QPR haven't been trying to get Jimmy to sign a new contract for at least 12-18 months, you're mad. At the very least he's a financial asset on a P&L sheet with a rapidly decreasing value. I don't believe for a second they haven't been trying to manage that either by trying to sell him or getting him to extend or both. I don't have any inside knowledge or proof of that it's just common sense. They don't even tell us when players are injured or who's in or out of contract so they're hardly likely to release a press release detailing that contract offers have been made.
Jimmy has been a superb player for us and a joy to watch far more often than not but when Bright, Willock and Manning did what Jimmy has done they were all relentlessly criticised and the club was not. Jimmy has done the same thing and people have got the hump with the club purely because they love him.
Maybe he wants to get to the PL or maybe he just wants more money or a longer contract but either way, he doesn't want to be here next season. Or at the very least he'd rather be somewhere else. He's earned that right more than the other three players mentioned as he's given far more to the cause but ultimately he's doing the very same thing those others did. |  | | |

We’d have been relegated |
We were 6 points off the playoffs and 11 points off relegation at the end of January. | | | |

^^ This is exactly what I was trying to say and how I feel about it all ^^
It's spin, perception, PR if you have to give it a name...
What Jimmy has done differently though is continue to perform at the highest level.
-- I haven't noticed him down tools, fake an injury, pull out of tackles etc.
If anything he's played better towards the end of the season (the shop window effect?)
He's a model pro and I'll be sorry to see him go (unless he's replaced by Edwards on a perm move in some crazy deal) |  | | |

Strange , don’t remember you pressing old Charlie boy about his reliable sources too much .
Couldn’t be because it satisfied your insatiable Nourry urges could it ? |
That Charlie bloke was just another on here who claims they know stuff but conveniently can’t name sources. Sound familiar? |  | | |

The difference is, though, that CharlieB thought things were going swimmingly. That is a really strange view given the current state of the club. |  |

CharlieB's thread is like the Jason & Uncle Bryn's Fishing Trip of LFW - we must never speak of it again...but awkward silences will always ensue when someone accidentally references it. |  |

Thankfully we didn’t sell him .Arguably he’s been our best player since Christmas. Without his contribution we’d probably have gone down .
What would we have got for him? 1.5 million at the most.
Revenues would have dropped by more than in leauge one, I should imagine. |
I heard (unsubstantiated) that Sheff U were only prepared to offer 400k. With 6 months left to run, that seems feasible.
However, if money isn't the issue, surely the club could do a 4year deal with a break clause (£2m?) for a chance to play in PL |  |

I mean, tbf, if anybody thought he was actually injured for Millwall away I've a bridge to sell you. |  | | |

Dunne should be waiting and seeing what offers he gets, you'd hope QPR offer him something and then he'll likely make a decsion next month about where he wants to go.
Whoever loses in the playoffs you'd think he would be an ideal signing for them |  | | |

I was thinking the same, perfect for 3 of the 4, but not good enough for the 1 that goes up. | | | |

If we assume that this is the equivalent of paying up his wages/contract for us to let him leave then this puts JD on £16.5k p/w
Seems about right, top end of our wage bill? | | | |

But that could have been the club protecting their asset while they negotiated, I guess (and like to think). | | | |

Good point. We’d have dropped out of the race for the play-offs and then been relegated. | | | |

Could have been. Mate I love the guy, wish he would stay, but if it had been a less popular player, Willock perhaps, doing that, people wouldn't have been looking for other reasons he would have got hammered.
Mind you, I guess that's what total commitment on the field for a long period of time before and after gets you isn't it? | | | |

Exactly. Sometimes you just have to let them leave, knowing that when the pain goes, you’ll have the good times to look back on.  | | | |
