Cajun Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No big deal really, we aren't paying him so it's just a bonus if he does actually get onto the field. It's not his fault the board fucked up the transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lenny Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No big deal really, we aren't paying him so it's just a bonus if he does actually get onto the field.

ChrisMcQuillan Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 No wonder he can't play, he's too busy suing for more money: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1372793/Manchester-City-fight-Stephen-Irelands-1-5M-claim.html?ito=feeds-newsxml Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparkzter Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Anybody any actual idea what is happening with this joke of a loan signing? What actually is his injury and when is he meant to be available for selection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGSC Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 He's 50-50 for the Man U game. Another 2 week off and he's still only at 50-50? This has seriously moved on from being funny to just plain sad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStar Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 What the fuck's wrong with him anyway, is it still just attributed to 'non-specific health problems" like a while ago or is it back to thigh injury? Reminds me of Dyer and people speculating if he was off with a fucked knee, depression, hepatitis or bad AIDS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugoinufc Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 In a fantasy world, he could still be a handy player for the last few games. When there is nothing to play for... Im afraid he was a waste of money! Whether it could turn out as positive will be seen. Maybe this means that Villa will let him go for less money since the situation hasn´t changed. dont think its a serious injury....for the right money i think we should try and sign him in the summer.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm just forgetting he exists, if he plays and helps us out then great, but if not I don't care. I would be highly worried if we signed him permanently after this though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punk77 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm not bothered tbh. We all know his capabilities. Him not playing much will only give us the upper hand in negotiations with Villa. We'll get him even cheaper. Signing Ireland for 4-5 mill is a cracking piece of business imo... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Based on what though, a vague hope that he can return to his form of two years ago? I thought the consensus was that he'd been absolutely shite for Villa, as well as having a suspect heed. I agree if he could get back to his best he would be a good signing, but what basis to we have to believe it's worth the risk? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if he could get back to his best he would be a good signing, but what basis to we have to believe it's worth the risk? remember he never wanted to go to villa....and everything went wrong from the beginning. Still young and have every opportunity to return to prevoius form. Whether he is up for it i dont know? As i see it its all about his attitude, sort it out and he will be a very very good signing even for 4-5-6 mill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punk77 Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 He was s*** for Villa, but I think ireland is just like HBA. They both need a lot of TLC. If not, their focus will drift. Ireland isn't what we call a stereotype footballer. And he probably gets a lot of bashing for being a weirdo. . Le Saux was ridiculed in his Chelsea just because he liked to read books. I don't think Ireland have a tough mentality that could handle such beating. If he's in a bad player environment, he will not feel comfortable. Consequently his performances will suffer. And I believe him when he said that the general moral in Shitty was s***. He was not given much chance in VIlla either. Players are not machines, they need to settle in. Villa was not willing to give him time, we will.. I would be much more skeptical of him joining us if we had the likes of Owen in our group. But we have a good squad moral and a strong togetherness, which I think will benefit Ireland immensely. And Pards has a good reputation when it comes to taking care of his players. He's handled the HBA-situation very nicely imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belfast Boy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Are there any quotes anywhere stating that we don't pay anything until he plays or is that one of those cases where enough people have said it so it must be true? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 This is getting a bit silly now like, how can somebody possibly be touch and go for about 4-5 consecutive games (in the space of about 2 month). Either Pardew is just flat out lying, or our medical staff realy are the complete shite that they seem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
