Dunky or Keane

[matto.75]

If we had only lost 2-0 at home to Middlesbrough last season, would Dunky be playing against Germany tonight?

The answer is probably yes as I believe when we get promoted this year he will be called up next year as will Stockdale and they will replace Keane and Heaton.

 

[Mr Bridger]

Nope

Nice

You could argue both were very similar when playing Championship football last season. Difference now is Keane has proven himself at Premier League level where Dunk has yet to play. For all we know, Dunk might not be able to step up (but I think he's capable).

 

[Mellotron]

I believe if we'd gone up it would be Dunk playing right now. Could yet be next season.

The way Dunk was mastered out of the way by Wood shows he still has much to learn.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Keane is a level above Dunk

Dunk has the potential but makes too many silly mistakes he needs to cut out

 

[albionfan37]

If dunk has a decent first season in the prem we could be watching him at a World Cup

 

[5mins-from-amex]

Would have all depended on how well he was doing in the prem up to this point, I believe he has what it takes to be a success in the premier league but until he's played in it nobody knows for sure.

Hopefully we will find out soon!

 

[BensGrandad]

It must be said Keane is playing quite well and not letting us or himself down.

This is just a personal opinion.Ability wise I don't think there is much between them.I think Dunk is too impulsive & that is why he gets so many bookings & Red cards where as Keane I think is more level headed.

Cahill on the other hand is a rabbit in the headlights job and should be nowhere near an England shirt.

Had Dunk not got himself sent off against QPR, he would have played against 'Boro and we may not have lost 3-0. We may not have conceded a late equaliser in the QPR game. We may have kept out 'Boro's goal at their place with him in the side, but he was suspended again after two yellows against Derby.

Dunk has been sent off five times in his career compared with Keane's none. He has 48 yellows in 262 matches compared with Keane's 13 in 180. Dunk may be better with the ball at his feet than Keane, but on those stats, which would you choose to rely upon in tournament football?

But is experienced and reliable

Hard to argue with that.

the thing is, Dunk looks spectacular against average to good strikers. will he step up against top draw forwards. and Stato analysis highlights glaring flaw in his game, probably why he's still with us and not been wrenched away in some double figer premiership swoop to stock their bench.

 

[Invicta]

If he gets in Premier league - he'll get in an England squad pretty quickly. Smalling and Jones manage to !!!

 

[Mellotron]

Keane played very well tonight to be fair to him.

 

[LlcoolJ]

Stato is correct. But it's also true that if Dunk was in a PL team now, he'd be in the England squad.
