I'm not Dunne at City: Defender wants to be part of Hughes' revolution
Committed: Manchester City's Richard Dunne
It has even been suggested Dunne could leave Eastlands during the current transfer window as a makeweight in a deal that would see Newcastle keeper Shay Given arrive from St James' Park.
However, the 29-year-old has no intention of giving up so easily.
After experiencing plenty of false dawns since arriving at City from Everton in 2000, Dunne recognises the real thing. And he intends to be part of Hughes' plans.
'The aim for every player here now is to stay at the club as long as possible and hopefully taste some real success. I am no different,' Dunne told the Manchester Evening News.

'We all have to play a part and we all know if we do not perform to the best of our ability in training and matches that we might not be here that long in what looks like being an exciting future.
'The opportunity is there for any player who has been at this club a long time and knows how bad things have been at different stages, to grab the opportunity to be involved in good times.
'It is up to individuals to take that chance.'
Unfortunately for Dunne that chance will not come against Newcastle tomorrow as the City skipper starts a four-match ban following his dismissal against Wigan earlier this month.
