Stephen Warnock - loaned to Bolton Wanderers (reply #231)

Ever heard of car pooling? I'd send Warnock, Hutton, N'Zogbia, Ireland and Dunne to Stoke right bloody now. Ship the lot of them off. Of course you'd need a horse carriage on the back of the car to shift Dunney though.

He'd need an abnormal load escort.

Interesting that people still want shut of Ireland given that he's the current Fan's Player of the Year..

There wasn't exactly a lot of competition. Being player of the year last season is a bit like being the tallest man in Lilliput.

This is what amazes me. It still seems the majority dislike him.

It also amazes me that despite the players saying how good he is, Lambert saying how good he is and him showing how good he could be, apparently he's still a time waster who shows a lack of effort?

[OCD]

I can't see how anyone can accuse him of a lack of effort. He's a very technical player and offers a lot of potential if we can get him to click and he's now playing a style of play that should suit him. We shouldn't be writing him off after one competitive game of the Lambert era.

[Monty]

I agree. I think Ireland could well become our outstanding player this season.

Given he's an attacking midfielder, I don't think it's a lot to ask for him to chip in with a few goals and assists.

That said, on his day (Chelsea away last season) he's brilliant.  However, like NZog's good days, lunar eclipses come round more often.

And he didn't exactly play many games as an attacking midfielder, he played wide and as midfield 2 when Petrov became sick.

Ireland is our best attacking player.

Shipping him out one game into a new era which involves passing Football would be completely ridiculous - there's still 37 games left for him to contribute significantly. To be honest, I couldn't care less if he gets no assists and no goals if he's picking out passes that can lead to others assisting and scoring.

Yep, don't get that at all. Does he need to score more and contribute more in the final third? Off course. But his application is so much more than when he arrived and technically we need to find players that can keep up with some of his touches and flicks. He's an intelligent player too which is something we lack at times. Last thing we should be doing is selling those types of player.

Modric barely gets any of either in a side that scores far more and he is about to be sold for £35m to Real Madrid. Thats the same position Ireland played for us last season.

Its a amzing how this thread has morphed from a Stephen Warnock topic into a Stephen Ireland topic lol

Personally, i'd give Warnock this season to prove his worth before getting rid.  I'd rather see the back of Nzogbia this wondow

[Toronto Villa]

Warnock's had more than enough chances in his preferred position. He can't do it at PL level anymore. And if the argument is being made about his versatility in playing midfield, well we have enough specialists there that I wouldn't want to deny opportunities to for him. I'll be glad to see the back of him and Warnock, and am not entirely fussed about Dunne who I would keep of the three. And I'm no longer bothered whether N'Zogbia stays or goes either.

We need to detach ourselves from the wage and crap player anchors created by the MON and TSM era. We might struggle at times with new and young players but I'll take that because the end goal is so much more rewarding.

Ireland needs to man up and grow a pair, I mean, wtf is that??
