I thought he was outstanding in some games last season, others he was very poor, In some games he didn't look his age and in others he looked old and shot to pieces.

Time will tell how MJ will use him next season. I'd be very surprised if MJ picks him for every game and more likely expect to see his body being managed more.

I saw the interview with DC when he said that he felt more effective if he played every game. There was plenty of evidence to the contrary at times. At that age you can feel a million dollars physically and for some reason your legs don't work as well and other times feel shattered but surprise yourself and play really well. The ability is definitely there with DC, his body is a bit more inconsistent

Good player, but at times I think he needs to be honest with himself.

MJ is no mug and while DC's experience will be invaluable at times, my prediction is that he will play no more than half of the games next season.

Quoted from Madeleymariner
For those he think hes so great, go through the highlights videos and see how many goals were from unmarked players in middle of the pen area (the main bit the centre halfs are supposed to defend) both set pieces and open play and also how often he ended up on his arris when players were running at him. Yes hes ok but nothing outstanding (not as bad as Clarke). I await more red crosses for not agreeing with a lot of people; I'm going to speak to the club now about how I'm being bullied into thinking DC is a great player .


I would keep quiet if i were you. An aggregate of almost 50 red crosses is pretty poor on your part and puts you in a league i wouldnt want to be in.

I'm quiet happy to have him as a back up and rotation option, he'll help the two other lads with his experience if he ends up having a blinder of a season we've done well, if he doesn't it seems like we've got 2 other decent CBs this season who can easily step in.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

What's interesting for me is the logistics of this deal..... DC lives in and commutes from Sunderland 3 times per week, not including match days.

So how does this fit in with MJ's policy of players living within an hour of the ground? Has he changed tact? Will DC be staying in accommodation during the week? Have we bent the rules just for him?

Just the type of centre half we need on the books, physically strong and excellent in the air....may not be needed every game but playing strikers of the ilk of Rhead, Ikpeazu etc a young ,quick centre half wont be much use, there are those physical centre forwards out there who need to be dealt with accordingly just as much as there are quick ones.
