SUPERTOON Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If it's true, I'd be quite happy with an Ireland loan deal with option to buy in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Surely Stephen Ireland doesn't constitute as 'big transfer news'. Knowing the press like, it'll probably be Jimmy Ryan from Accrington Stanley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I thought the whole point was we'd stopped signing players that were good a few years ago. Ireland and Wright-Phillips done f*** all for ages, one of them is a complete prick and both will be on big wages. Ireland has been shit this season admittedly but limited opportunitys and SWP is shit full stop a modern day Ruel Fox imho . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Very happy with this if we pull it off. I'd imagine Pardew has had a word with Joey about Ireland before even bringing on loan. Like i said earlier on, Joey & KeV have a massive role to play in this and helping him settle if it goes through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all we could have the same squad that has us sitting in 8th for most of the rest of the season, plus Ben Arfa, Ireland and Gosling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattypnufc Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 to be fair on Ireland, even though he is batshit mental, he's only 24 and was City's player of the year in the season we went down...on a loan, it's low risk and if he's shite, then it's tara!

Village Idiot Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's a loan, there's just no risk in it unless he finally breaks down and goes on a rampage taking out half your squad while blaming the pink bunnies that speak to him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stephen927 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 We've been crying out for an attacking midfield in the mould of Ireland for a few years. If he gets his old form back in the next 6 months, great. If he doesn't, he's Villa's problem. No problem with me if that transfer goes through.

No problem with me if that transfer goes through. this, combined with the fact it's a loan, combined with the fact that we are desparate for squad depth, and I cannot possibly see how people complain tbh Could be a fantastic deal, could be a "meh, never worked but atleast we never paid for it" deal.

TRon Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's risky but in the right way. Ireland offers us something that midfielders like Nolan don't, mobility and flair. On a loan deal that's well worth a punt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Would deffo be happy with ireland! With smith being out, guthrie looking dodgy, vuckic still learning and ben arfa not back yet....it'd be an ideal loan. I just think we need an extra striker and to loan out ranger.
