Ketsbaia 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Cheers, still getting to grips with it, would I be right in saying there's a fair few mongs on there? Aye. Colin Warris is the only fucker that's called the "big transfer news" they're talking about as Ireland and he's hardly reliable. Gets some stuff correct but a lot wrong.

angrysteve 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ireland is a complete twat and he appears to be totally detached from reality. He was good at city but he's been gash at Villa. I'm not sure I would want a tool of this proportion playing for us. I think quite a few people had the same thought when we signed Barton and he has done well to prove the doubters wrong (admittedly it took him some time) I'll give Ireland a chance before I write him off (assuming he comes that is). If memory serves they were quite pally at City and he may benefit from Bartons 'wise' head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brazilianbob 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Seems to be one of the hardest positions to buy, LW. Jonas and Barfa can play there. Jonas defo needs a rest. Only Enrique has played more minutes than him this season. Of course its the hardest position to buy. There are not that many naturally left footed footballers out there, with the exception of me of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we do have Lua Lua, whose on the med, and who Poyet has said yesterday he is desperate to buy. Obviously doing it in the prem is a lot harder but he certainly outplayed that league. Fergusons another one for the future, although Beardsley sees him more as cover for Jose. Dont think Jonas has ever lived up to his Man U show and rest wont be the making of him. So all in all, in a few months we could have 4 players fighting for that spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10978 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 In that season for citeh, he did for them what Nolan's been doing for us. Perhaps he's being looked at a a possible long term replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 thats why barnetta may be coming in. jonas would actually be far better playing on the right. can't wait for ben arfa to come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonArmyMIA 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/...astle-loan.html a loan deal is not a bad option - we get to trial him out, and if he fits, sign. if not, ship back to villa. would be smart move, like the ben arfa deal he had some great form at man city (like SWP), before moving and it all going to shite. werent they both Keegan recruits at City?

Kid Dynamite 7192 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If we could get Ireland and SWP on Loan with a view to signing, as well as HBA and Gosling back fit this will be a very good transfer window. Could still do with a striker like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ugly Mackems 134 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Got family in Cobh, Co. Cork and just phoned my cousin to see what the craic is with Ireland. My cousin phoned his old man to see if he get anything and his old man reckons there's a realistic chance he'll be coming to Toon. He wants to come.

Christmas Tree 4858 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Bolton have been linked with a loan swoop for Aston Villa outcast Stephen Ireland, who has been told he can leave Villa in January. The likes of Newcastle and Fulham have been linked with the midfield playmaker but Ireland's wage demands have reportedly scuppered his chances of leaving Villa Park as yet during the current transfer window. Speculation suggests Ireland is on around £50,000 a week at Villa, but boss Coyle has been given the go-ahead to match his wages by the Bolton hierarchy and would now appear to be in pole position to land the 24-year-old, although Newcastle could yet rival Coyle for the midfielder's signature. Ireland has been told he can leave Villa in January by boss Gerard Houllier after failing to secure regular football under the Frenchman, having been signed by previous Villa boss Martin O'Neill.

Christmas Tree 4858 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Under the heading......"Sigh of Relief". When conducting a Google search on Stephen Ireland, the word "nightmare" appears quite frequently. It's clear that Aston Villa did not receive a bargain when they accepted Ireland as makeweight in the James Milner deal with Manchester City. Although the midfielder showed just enough promise to make many Villa fans pretty excited, that hope withered and died once Ireland took to the pitch. Apparently, however, Newcastle believe they can dig deep and extract the tiny bright light shining through in Ireland, and are willing to take the risk. It helps as well that the Magpies have lost Alan Smith for the rest of the season, the ankle injury he picked up against Sunderland last week having been more serious than previously thought. Newcastle need cover and, probably out of pure desperation, are willing to pay for it in the form of Stephen Ireland. While I'm perfectly willing to wish John Carew the best of luck in his future at Stoke, and wherever else he might go, I'm not mature enough to wish Ireland well. He hasn't performed and while at times he did look upset with himself, he's also acted like a petulant child at other times. He frequently missed the net, his passes went to no one, there was no spark of creativity to be found. Any time that Villa fans get excited because a player doesn't actively mess up, well, it's time for him to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4858 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Houllier also dismissed speculation linking Stephen Ireland with a move to Newcastle on loan. The out-of-favour midfielder is currently out with a knee injury but Houllier insisted there had been no contact from the club over a possible temporary move. He added: “We have heard nothing about Stephen.” wtf....again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 7579 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Don't want. It would be just like Ashley to buy players in positions where we don't need to strengthen at the expense of others where we do. A loan deal would be slightly more bearable.
