Wullie Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Said the other day that I suspect we bought him because we knew he was fucked. No wages and they're able to say "oh look we tried." Much better option than Sturridge or Vela who, yeah they'll get on the field and score loads of goals and that, but why would you do that when you have to pay them?!?

I think that's going a bit too far. I doubt Vela will be on much and if we aren't fussed about getting any players in why sign HBA who isn't exactly going to be on Guthrie level wages.

Decky Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 This one looks to be more complete: http://www.express.co.uk/posts/view/232528/Stephen-Ireland-My-Aston-Villa-horrorStephen-Ireland-My-Aston-Villa-horror#ixzz1FacG7KBM “Ireland is only reaping what it has sown,” he said. “They have put buildings up just for the sake of it and, in the end, no one lives inside them. That has cost a huge amount of money. “But I don’t give a damn for Ireland. Live in Cork? Rather shoot myself. I prefer Los Angeles.” And he made crystal clear his determination to never wear his country’s shirt again. “Even at youth level, it p****d me off to go there,” he said. “Everyone came from Dublin. I was the only guy from Cork. I had to take the train on my own, pay for a taxi, there was no hotel, no grub. It was handled so amateurishly. “National teams don’t interest me. I have more to do than go off for three days to play Andorra. And when you are Irish, you are well aware you’ll never win the World Cup. “I feel nothing for the team. I absolutely don’t feel guilty when they lose and, when they win, at no time do I think I could have been there. f***ing hell, he's completely off his mind Complete wanker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 So explain the logic in signing a player who is injured for two months on a three month loan? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Atleast wait until after the summer transfer window to decide whether this was worth it or not man, Ben Arfa only played about 2 and a half games and won a contract Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Oh right. Now I see, how silly of me. Yes, you're the idiot for getting the loan period wrong, not the bloke who spent the transfer window chasing an injured player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ireland comes in and helps us push on for the last few games of the season would it be classed as a worthwhile signing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait and see, it might have been a bit more worthwhile if we'd got in somebody who was fit when he signed. Maybe not, as our other signing who came in only gets a minute here and there, because he's not classed as being good enough by the bloke who brought him in.
