Dokko Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I wouldn't be against a season long loan with a set fee. Can't see Villa getting much for him this summer, maybe £3-4m if they are lucky. Would be very disappointed if we spent any more than that to get him in on what we've seen this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Just stay away, to be honest. I was against signing him in the first place and no he's just backed up the point that he's a total waste of time. Lets look elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ireland epitomises everything that we should avoid in a player. Awfully injury prone, can't fit into our formation, huge salary and his best form was 4 years ago.. Sure, let's sell Jose so that we can afford to pay 50k to this waster Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the right club, injury-free he'll do really well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Don't see the point in getting him in tbh. It's not a Louis Saha type of situation where he didn't score many for us but showed flashes of potential and didn't have (m)any injury problems, and therefore we lived to regret not making a bigger effort to sign him. This guy's out of fitness, out of form, out of his mind. Even if he finds some form elsewhere I wouldn't regret not signing him, as the signs aren't good and it's too big a risk. If he'd played 3/4 of the games and bagged a few goals and looked good then I'd probably be all for signing him at the right price, but whether it's his fault or not he's blown it.

Cronky Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 This may actually be to our advantage. If he'd stayed fit, we'd have had a tricky decision about whether to sign him or not. It's now easier to justify another long loan, where we can see a bit more of him, risk free. In fact, it's almost too convenient..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallsendmag Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Looked quite good in the very short time he's been on the pitch for us but we've had our fill of overpaid, injury prone players over the past few years so hopefully we won't be trying to sign him. 2 proper strikers, a right back and a left back should all take priority before we sign another midfielder anyway considering we'll have Ben Arfa and Gosling fit for next season.

RupertCommunicator Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I'm fine with him coming back on another loan, as long as it is for free. As soon as Villa ask for any money, politely refuse and send him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 We've had ridiculous luck with injuries and new signings. Ireland, Ben Arfa and Gosling have played about 4 games between them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertCommunicator Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Difference is, Ben Arfa will probably be class, Gosling may be good, Ireland will probably be shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hopefully get him on another 6 month loan with an option to buy. I'd be happy with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Curls Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Looked bright in his couple of appearances so I wouldn't hesitate on re-negotiating a season long loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Roger Kint Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 He did look OK, but he's no use if he's always going to be injured. A knee followed by thigh followed by ankle doesn't bode well. Biologically speaking no it doesnt Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colos Curls Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Well he will be fit I would of thought next season :S, didn't stop us signing gosling while injured or even Ben arfa to a certain extent, my opinion anyways Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Loan till jan and if he can get fit and play well by then deal. If not sling yer hook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Season long loan with an option to buy would be the best bet. As mental as this fucker undoubtedly is, he's still got way more talent than Smith, Guthrie and R. Taylor. Giving him the benefit of the doubt regarding injuries since January, natch. Wouldn't think about buying him without seeing him play well regularly though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
