maqroll Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I can see him and Joey Barton becoming fast friends, hitting the clubs, and well, you can imagine the rest.....I hope Ireland stays far far away from Villa. If we can get 5m for him, it'd be a steal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 If we wanted to sell him then we could get atleast £8 million for him. He hasn't become a bad player over night, it just hasn't worked out anywhere near the way that we all would have liked. Being injured on loan at Newcastle and yet to play for them with 9 games of the season left is hardly putting himself in the shop window though is it lol.

sir_gary_cahill Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 he has no passion for the game, no tactical awareness or positional sense, he is an awful player and always has been Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Man City only got £6m for him and that was as part of another deal. Since then he has been a monumental fuckup. Unless he has a storming end to the season we wont be selling him for £6m nevermind £8m 'at least' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hes by no means an 'awful' player either. He's an awful cunting nobhead but hes not an awful player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HolteEndRob Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 He was Man City's player of the season the other year, ahead of Robinho. I'm sure I remember him scoring 10-15 goals too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoody Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 'the other year' being the operative words there. + Robinho was a total failure at Citeh anyway. The other year Roque Santa Cruz scored 19 goals and was looking like a top striker. The other year in the 24 starts Nikola Zigic had for Racing Santander and Valencia he scored 17 goals. The other year is bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NowDoINotLikeThat Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 he has no passion for the game, no tactical awareness or positional sense, he is an awful player and always has been He's not an "awful player" . Far from it. Altho playing alongside Robinho did make Ireland look better than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 he still scored 9 league goals and created 9 08/09, he might of looked better than he was, but he wasn't terrible. He's clearly got a lot of talent just a terrible attitude for a professional and mentally not right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barry'sboots Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 Newcastle have got the best part of 40 mil to spend, we should rinse them as much as possible for this worthless word removed I could see Salifou and Osbourne fitting in well there as well. Maybe a three for the price of one deal to encourage them to push on?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu_The_Villan Posted March 11, 2011 Share Posted March 11, 2011 No - he was pushed out at Man City, didn't play for over a year for the team he supports, grew up with and loves and then came to Villa right at the time where the manager left and the team was going through drastic changes. I think Ireland is a Man U fan. Thats where he started his career. He certainly didn't. He certainly did he was part of Uniteds youth academy. Then they let him go and City signed him.

No he didn't, he played for Cobh Ramblers up until he was 18. Had a few trials with various PL clubs but no-one actually signed him until Citeh.
