Yeah and what happens if he stays and breaks down again?

Whether or not he is the most skilful player at the club its no use if hes sat in the stands 75% of the time, our good form has coincided with him being out i just dont see what he could add if he came into the team.

I can hear the stick now that the board and Bruce will take if we keep him and he breaks down, lets be fair if he has had a medical it must be the longest ever on record, that to me alone says the bloke has dodgy fitness. Get rid

so in your professional expereince you think that "this bloke has dodgy fitness" do you? tell me, what are your qualifications again?

this longest "medical ever on record" must have been pretty thorough to take the length of time it has - and guess what, he's passed.

i tell you what, instead of pontificating about somebody having dodgy fitness and not being able to see what he could add to the team why don't you just shut up and look at the facts for once.

Bolton - a club who are 5th in the Premiership - have given this guy a medical and he's passed. for me, that fact tells me enough that the long-term fitness of this player is not a doubt to one of the success stories of the Premiership!

so he can't be all that bad then can he? let's see how much it costs us to replace him if/when we're promoted.

Lets turn it around and look at it from the other side. If we were about to sign a player with his injury record this forum would explode with people calling for Brucie's head.

does it matter what this forum thinks - if we signed a player who, to enable the transfer to go through, passed a medical then that should be enough.

we are letting go a player who is only 27 and when he plays for us is clearly an exceptional talent. now, granted, injuries have kept in out of the side more than in but that still doesn't escape that he's going rather cheaply.

and without replacement - the same as we let Savage go without a replacement at the same time a few yrs ago! it's a tale too often told at Blues yet our owner calls on fans to be more supportive!

I disagree Mark. A medical is a snapshot, a moment in time. Yes he's fit today, but may not be tomorrow. Incedentally Peter Ndlovu failed his medical at St Andrews and went on to make a good number of appearances.

Professional experience?? where did you pluck that from,

Dunns fitness record speaks for itself, its rubbish put bluntly, so what he passed a medical, lets see how long he lasts when hes actually asked to play the game.

Bolton took scans as part of the medical, now those scans will show up any old injuries that should be looked at or questioned.

so whilst the medical might be a snapshot, the scan is not. Bolton have got a steal from Blues, assuming they agree terms.

all the best Dunn, i for one, although all of your injury problems, will be sorry to see you go, and your a great bloke off the pitch too, always take time out for the fans. I remember your first season here, I was the only person in my area of the railway who had faith in you and never had a go at you!

All the best Dunny, except if you ever play us!

Keep Right On.

you really do amaze me - you seem quite happy to let David Dunn leave the club cheaply!

you watch the game and yes, whilst his injury record is poor, his ability to turn a game and to grab a few goals is also plain to see - a bit like Trevor Francis, surely you can see that when watching Blues.

it was only at the start of this season that Bruce said he wanted to build his side around Dunn and here we are a few short months later selling him. now you're not telling me we've pulled one over on Bolton by selling them a crocked player - it doesn't happen!

the man we wanted to build our side around has been sold for around £1m - what does that tell you about the club!

bolton are taking a calculated gamble... just because dunn "passed" a medical that doesn't mean that there was nothing of concern... bolton are weighing up the risk against his potential ability & have concluded that the deal they have struck with club & player makes sense for them...

there is always a mug market for a "bargain" & a club consistently in the top half of the premiership can afford to take a modest punt every now and then

Mr Penguin whilst i don't often disagree with your postings i am at odds with you over this. Big Sam is hardly a guy who takes a punt now is he - he's probably one of the shrewdest managers in the game!

he's bought players who we've never heard of for next to nothing and made them great players for Bolton. he also takes in rogues tha no-one else wants.

i remember this message board littered with postings that were up in arms as we might have been in for Diouf. even the suggestion of Anelka has been derised on here! yet both players are doing fine at Bolton - who are currently knocking on the Champions League door.

i doubt he has the money nor the inclination to "take a modest punt" on Dunn. i mean why should he - he could scout the Championship, and possibly abroad again to find a player for £1m who could fit in to his teams style of play.

no, he's looking to improve and probably can't believe he's grabbed a telented 27yo for just over a million!

add to that he's a friend of Brucey and he's hardly not going to know the inside track on Dunny is he? no, i think that this is yet another shrewd bit of business for Bolton and hey, good luck to them - if we're going to throw away good players cheaply then why shouldn't other clubs pick them up.

it's also a fact that the Reebok has state of the art training and match facilities with which to ensure they get the best out of their players - we, sadly, do not.

Transfere should be completed within the next 24 hrs:

Birmingham boss Bruce confirmed Dunn had passed a medical at the Reebok Stadium - and he does not expect personal terms to be a problem for the 27-year-old midfielder.

Dunn cost City £5.5million when he made the move from Blackburn to St Andrews in the summer of 2003 but a serious back problem which also affected his hamstrings meant he was out of action for the best part of two years.

Bruce believes the former England Under-21 captain will benefit from a change of environment and said: "As we speak, Dunny is in talks with Bolton. He has been there for the best part of a week. His injuries are well documented and knowing Sam Allardyce and the medical staff at Bolton, they would have done every test possible.

"We have been told in the past half hour that he has passed all tests as part of the medical.

"I would expect now that the personal terms will be thrashed out. That is not going to take long so I expect he will sign for Bolton.

"I kept reading that Blackburn were going to make a counter bid. We had received nothing from them but they have been in contact in the last hour, but I think it is too late.

"Dunny has already decided he is going down the route of signing for Bolton and in any case Blackburn still haven't met our valuation of the player.

"It is a total package of £2.2million but a lot of that is obviously based on appearances. We feel a change of environment, a change of scenery will benefit him and we wish him well."

Bruce added: "Dunny has only started 27 times for us which is a shame for our club and a shame for Dunny because when I signed him I paid a lot of money for a quality player.

"It is a crying shame with the amount of talent Dunny has got that we have never seen the best of him at Birmingham. It is one of my biggest regrets as Birmingham manager."

One question.

How fit do you have to be to pass a medical?
