I'd have Ireland here in a shot to be honest.  Has the potential to be a much better Nolan.  Just like Nolan and Barton were s**** a few years ago and have come good, I think Ireland could be the same.

 

Barton  Ireland  Tiote  Jonas

                Ben Arfa

                Caroll

 

Lovely. Means we could pick and choose the games Nolan plays and rotate him and Ireland.  I'm sure Ireland could play right side too, for when Barton is injured or more likely suspended. 

 

The key is always having Tiote in the middle, Barton and Ireland in the middle would be woeful against all but the poor teams.  Tiote opens us up to being able to have a player like Ireland in the middle.

 

Too bad Ireland only runs 100 yards every game.

I disagree about Ireland.

 

Villa have been shocking this year and almost none of their players have come out of it with any credit whatsoever.

 

I also don't buy the idea that he's a bad lad, isn't he the one who quit the Ireland international team because he was getting bullied for being bald? OK so he may not have a strong character but if he's a confidence player, we have the team spirit to help him get back on track.

 

The lad is talented.

It depends on the deal.

 

A loan until the end of the season with a view to permanenet would suit both parties. A chance for us to assess how well he integrates and him to reinvigorate himself

Money is always the clincher. We'd settle for alot of players if we were getting them for free/cheap.

 

If we could get Ireland in on a cheap deal, or as you say a loan, that would be a smart move for the club.

The more i think about it the more i think that signing Ireland would be a good move.  He is obviously very talanted.

 

Would this be such a bad front six?  I think we are one or two players short of having a very good team going forward.

I'd take him on a loan deal until the end of the season as I find it a little worrying how he can go from being so good at City to so bad at Villa.

 

He may possibly be a confidence player in which case would he really succeed here, we don't exactly have a reputation for being the most patient of fans.

I'd much rather get a proper second striker tbh

Was arguably the best and most talented player on the pitch in City's first 'big spend' season, which is why I'm surprised he was then dropped and eventually sold to Villa.

 

He's been shit since like and would only take him if he really really promised he'd be back in form :lol: Doubt he would be like.

He may be alreet in the 'hole' with tiote and nolan behind him (then again he may not), he was absolutely quality for City a couple years back and scored some cracking goals. Theres no way he just woke up one morning and suddenly lost his talent as a footballer.

 

Would be a massive risk though so anything other than a loan or low transfer/free with reduced wages would be a big no no.
