City To Double Dunne's Pay
-
Manchester City are reportedly prepared to make Richard Dunne one of the highest paid players in England, if that's what it takes to convince the defender to commit his long-term future to the club.
Dunne, 28, looked all set to leave the Eastlands this summer, but the arrival of Mark Hughes has forced him into a rethink and now City are looking to put an end to all speculation by offering him a £55,000 per week deal.
The Republic of Ireland defender was disillusioned by the unceremonious sacking of former manager Sven-Goran Eriksson and felt a new challenge somewhere else was what he needed, with the likes of Portsmouth, Tottenham, Newcastle and Sunderland all too happy to accomodate him.
Now, however, it looks like City’s four-time Player of the Year will continue to form one of the best central defensive partnerships in the Premiership with Micah Richards, and will have a little more pocket-money to boot! -
i dont think 55k per week is "one of the highest paid" thats for sure.
