Stephen Ireland

[KevieG]

Dunno if there's a thread already but he has handed in a transfer request and City are supposedly willing to let him go for 10 million.

 

Thats a baragin. We would be mad not to be in for that. A goalscoring box to box midfielder with a great eye for a pass. Yes he's insane but I think we are missing someone like this.(his football not insanity)

[mht1892]

Sign him up, he's quality... Be a great signing I recon

[usernameunknown]

Has he had more than two 3rds of a good season in his whole career?

[Josef Svejk]

Excellent player who's a loon. So there's a risk. If we had the money, I would say he was worth the risk. As we don't, we're not in position to take any such risks.

[Rex Banner]

I wouldn't mind him, he is very versatile and a hard worker on the pitch. He seems less crazy now he's a bit older and wiser.

[RED.DUB]

why are people suggesting transfer targets when we wont have any money?

[Anny Road]

10 million you say MMMMMMM.

WE ARE SKINT

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Would be a decent signing if we had the money, but we might still have the money depending who is shipped out/ wanting to leave. I bet he ends up at Spurs though.

[Trucker Paddy]

£10m for a proven premier league player is a great deal for some team, he would qualify in the home player rule as he's been with City from a kid, maybe if aqualani went back to Italy or heaven forbid Gerrard left he'd be a good signing for us, but we're well stocked up there for now, left winger and left back are prioritys to go into 1st team

[JohnnyH]

Damn it. Just £9,999,999 too much.

[WaltonRed]

I'd take him but it wont happen.

 

He'll end up at the shite in part ex for Arteta and dough

[cmuller]

If he can't get in City's side why would you want him here? It isn't a Mascherano situation - he's just not good enough to get in their side.

 

We've got a similar type but far better player in Aquilani.

[PaulMcC]

He's a good player.

[Johnni]

He's good but we dont need him when we have Aqualani plus we cant afford him anyway.

[liverbobs]

Swap him for Lucas...

Exactly!

 

Except Ireland is quicker, fitter, scores more goals and is a different type of player

[Jim MM]

I don't like him, I think he's a twat but after a season out in the cold at City I think he might now be ready to take his head out of his arse. Quality player if he gets his mind right and worth a gamble. Of course where £10m comes from might be a problem.

[William_Ulsterman]

the car park at anfield would be alot more colourful...

 

 

 

he had this customised for his bird. fuck me!

[Redder Lurtz]

He's got an annoying little face.

[Whelan]

10 million pounds for a Gail Porter lookalike! With the dress sense of a blind man, with no dress sense! Fuck that.

[William_Ulsterman]

hes looks like that other manc twat that Gervias hangs out with whats his name? hes about as funny as cancer.

[reder]

Exactly!

 

Except Ireland is quicker, fitter, scores more goals and is a different type of player

 

Thank you for posting that. Add the fact that he is 2 or 3 years younger to that also.

 

However, the lad is bonkers and is one of those players that needs to be loved and he certainly wont get that from the current management at the club. I have been told that he is getting the floor in his kitchen removed and is getting it replaced with a giant fish tank. Some people have way too much money.

[Guest TesticleOReilly]

Great player, but then he does have 3 grandmothers. That's 50% extra genes.

[Thants]

Good player, mad as a fish. Need to address other areas first.

[Original202]

Where does he play these days?

 

In a 4-2-3-1 he could take Dirk's role. He's not a winger, but he isn't a central player either is he? If he was tucked in a bit from the right hand side he'd be a decent option.

 

Offload Babel and Riera and we'd have enough for him. Though I'd sooner we strengthened the other side of the pitch first.
