Guest neesy111 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Can't see how he'll be fit enough to start. Ryan Taylor was after 3 months out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Aye. We might need him to be anyway given Pardew's comments about Barton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Aye. We might need him to be anyway given Pardew's comments about Barton. All depends on the player as some seem to need a few games to be match fit, while some just don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 If he does start, I can see it being a straight swap for Taylor: Ireland Nolan Tiote Jonas Best Loven Oh joy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Ireland would be a perfect replacement for Barton if he was fit. Taylor's sending off was crap timing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/ireland-feels-settled-and-ready-to-go-after-welcome-in-newcastle-2229395.html Ireland feels settled and 'ready to go' after welcome in Newcastle By Gordon Tynan Wednesday, 2 March 2011 Stephen Ireland has promised not to let anybody down as he prepares to make his debut for Newcastle this weekend. Midfielder Ireland has shaken off the knee injury he arrived with at St James' Park after joining the North-east side on loan until the end of the season from Aston Villa a month ago. With Joey Barton struggling with a thigh injury and Ryan Taylor suspended for three games after his dismissal in Saturday's draw with Bolton, Ireland could make his United bow at home to Everton on Saturday. If so, the 24-year-old is determined to prove his worth to manager Alan Pardew and his team-mates. "I'm really ready to go, give it my best shot and have a good go at getting the team high up the table," Ireland said. "The manager's worked hard to get me, and I'm definitely going to repay him for his efforts. I don't want to let him or my team-mates down if I get my chance. First and foremost, I want to work hard for my team-mates." Ireland has been bowled over by the reception he has been given by the fans, which has quickly helped him settle. "I always thought it was a brilliant place to come, and that the fans were appreciative of the players," he added. "I've had a walk around the city, and the people here are so nice and polite. They come up and shake your hand, and say, 'All the best here'. It is nice, and I've got a good feeling for the place. I've felt settled really fast."

Ashley17 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Aye. We might need him to be anyway given Pardew's comments about Barton. What did he say like?

Pardew said: “We’ll have Stephen and Shola back next week and be better for it. Hopefully we’ll have Joey back, but we’ll see.” If all three could have some role in the Everton match, that's fantastic. Will improve our winning chances a bit.

Dave Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 At the time I was referring to comments from Pardew that pulling Barton wasn't merely precautionary and that he was a doubt for Everton. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley17 Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 At the time I was referring to comments from Pardew that pulling Barton wasn't merely precautionary and that he was a doubt for Everton. Ah, gotcha. To be fair that does sound worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 No idea he was still 24 until just now. Thought he'd been around for a much longer time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Ireland in the team instead of Lovenkrands would be a big boost, hopefully he's fit enough to start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Pardew quoted in the Star as saying he would be interested in making it permanent if Ireland performs (probably old news). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
