I ,maybe the only one , was quite happy with the signing . I thought there was a very good player there and would make a difference in our team. What a waste . Hindsight, we should have just taken the money for Milner . Lke I say , a waste of a player and a waste of Villa money. C**s like this , ruin the game for me and there are plenty of them.
as an 18/19 year-old, he fought for and won custody of his children, so he's not all bad.

It makes me more convinced than ever that before any player is signed he should have to undergo as serious and thorough a psychiatric examination as the physical evaluations they have to have.A dodgy ligament here or a tweaked tendon there are minor fixables compared with mental meltdown so many players are prone to as a result of excessive money and coccooned lifestyles.If any player has previous form for erratic behaviour, especially one with a multi million pound price tag, he should be avoided like the plague.Man City got from us a genuine, straight, committed professional football player. In return we got a disruptive, whingeing head case.

If Stephen Ireland doesn't end up in prison at some point in his life, I'll be stunned.
