Guest toonlass Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Up front we have Carroll (crocked), Ameobi, Best, Lovenkrands, Airey and Ranger, and just behind we have Nolan (at a push) and Ben Arfa (crocked). A cardboard box would improve our attacking play at the moment to be honest. I've heard that Ashley wouldn't match the cardboard box's wage demands Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 well, if Gosling's f***ed I'd change my mind on this but still.. Can anybody realistically see Ireland come here and instantly improve our attacking play after two seasons of doing nothing? Barton this year tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raconteur Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 I would take a player strong mental toughness and desire with a little less talent, over a very talented player with these kinds of mental issues 99 times 100. Doesn't that describe someone like... Alan Smith? Hard working grafters lacking the talent of top drawer players will only take you so far. You also made the point saying that playing Ireland in the hole is a flawed notion because it would take away Nolan's effectiveness - but isn't is the case that Nolan has only scored three of his goals when playing off the striker with the rest coming when he played in a conventional centre midfield role? Yes, signing Ireland has risks attached, but as we don't appear to be signing a striker this window, isn't the next best option to sign a number 10?

Colocho Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 We shouldn't have to contribute to his wages, what difference does it make to Villa whether he is playing for us or sitting on their bench? If his wages are £65,000, us contributing 30% should be fair. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest taps01 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 so this deal looks pretty certain now? lets do it, man! we've got a thin squad and its only a loan so this makes complete sense. It could be done tonight. According to Mr Ireland senior. so this deal looks pretty certain now? lets do it, man! we've got a thin squad and its only a loan so this makes complete sense.
