Bannan and Ireland
« on: March 06, 2013, 12:18:41 PM »
Have they finally been found out?  Not been in the bench  / squad for a few games now

Not bothered at all as i know we are short but they offer nothing to the team now or in the future

Me and a mate were discussing this after the game on Monday. They're not injured so they must be out of favour (unless there's something gone on that we don't know know about) because you would have thought they would at least make the bench. I can't say i'm too fussed about Ireland after his stroll around the pitch during the Bradford semi final, but i'd like to see Bannan back in the 16.

Both don't work hard enough for me, I'm sure that's why they're now 'not required' by Paul Lambert.

I personally think you will be proved wrong with Bannan. I agree he has struggled this season but he has too much talent to discard at a whim.
He could probably do with a loan spell away from a struggling club to a Championship side that is doing moderately well. I do know that Barry asked for a temporary move away in January but PL wouldnt sanction it,

As for Ireland ,,,get rid....do anything pay his contract up, do whatever is necessary.

It's 18 now and he still can't get in.

I expect Bannan to be joining Celtic in the summer, probably for £1m.

Ireland we'll probably have to raffle. What a waste of talent.

He certainly didn't look happy the last few times he played. His demeanor suggested it was all getting to him a little bit.

I reckon Ireland is coming to the end of his time as a professional footballer.  Once Villa let him go he'll have to take a cut in pay and go down at least a division (from the premier) to get a game and I don't see him having the sufficient motivation to do that.

I can see Ireland going to somewhere like Celtic eventually for a season or two, then he'll probably get an offer to go and play in the MLS where he can sunbathe in the afternoon.

I would like to see Barry back.  He actually creates goals rather than "have a good game" but create nothing as our midfield do now. 

Ireland should be jettisoned ASAP

Ireland can do one for me, Bannan I thought needed a break from the first 11 but I'm surprised he's not even been on the bench, especially when you consider we have been without the likes of Herd, Albrighton, Gardner, Bent, Dunne and Vlaar so God knows how far down PL's pecking order he is now.  It's a shame really because Bannan and Ireland have more talent than KEA/Sylla/Holman/Bowery/Dawkins etc.

Haven't wrote this for a w while but Steven Ireland can just fuck right off

Bannan may still be a player in there somewhere.

Can't see his missus putting up with the rain in Glasgow and Celtic would have to bust their wage-structure to accommodate him. He'll join Emule out in the Outback or Juampi Angel in New York and retire on the eve of his 30th birthday.
