    Sunderland...

    Morning,have I missed anything? Villa got Bent, which made me happy because I've been telling them to get bent since May 2009. Aye good luck to the lad,was brilliant for us but no point in keeping someone that didn't want to be here.If he had been sold in the summer I don't think we would have seen this uproar,it was the timing of it and left us very short on strikers. you still didn't have to accept the offer which is the point bruce seems to be missing He put a transfer request in,he left us with very little option. I said on here a few weeks ago that Bent has been very poor this season and it really didn't come as a surprise to me and maybe it will work out for the best as Gyan prefers playing up front on his own and the cash will enable us to buy some decent midfielders that we desperately lack. i find it hard to believe that some accommodation between bent and the club couldn't have been sorted so he could see out the season and then move on, just seems your lot were very quick to take the cash
  2. thats over the local council messing them about ain't it and trying to get spurs to pay a fortune upgrading things they should be doing themselves
  3. tbf theres a point there, when it came to onfield matters for city he always had a top notch attitude and before his great season for them put in a load of work on martial arts etc in his off time and pre season. Just hasn't worked out for him at villa which can happen sometimes and houillers man management is questionable tbh
  4. Good player somewhere in there but make sure nobody looks at him funny / laughs at his car / wears after shave he doesn't like, or he'll go into a massive sulk and be of no use whatsoever. That's my concern over all of this. People are saying he's a good player, that was 2 seasons ago, and even then he faked his Granny's death to avoid an international game! Someone at the club really needs to sit down with him and work out if this guy wants to be a footballer. Sure, he'll say all the right things, but someone has to make the judgement call. Paying his wages, a signing on fee, and then watch him collect it for the next 2 years would be a piss take. Also, how will that affect the rest of the squad's mood? Hughton removed as much dead weight as he could and the prospect of adding someone who doesn't want to fight to the squad is worrying. Nothing to back up that Ireland is this type of player, just the attitude I assume he has from over the last 2 years. Wasn't there an issue with him leaving City due to him wanting more money? tbf on the granny death faking thing there was a real understandable reason behind the stupidity of claiming his granny died Not wanting to play for Ireland? nah (though thats been the case since the incident) gf had a miscarriage and he panicked and came out with the first thing that sprang to mind that would allow him to leave though i'm sure staunton would have understood the situation had he been told what had happened strange that he wouldn't just tell the fucking truth in that case, still footballers ain't famed for their smarts are they? panic i'd say and people do odd things when they panic
  5. i'm not going to dispute or defend ireland on the fact he's a headcase with an overly high opinion of his own self worth just clarifying that one incident, but despite it all theres a quality player in there if he can get his focus on the pitch
