Stephen Ireland

[JUAN PABLO]

Ireland earns 60-70k a week, Bannan and Herd don't.

Him going in January means more room on the wage front.

to sign more players who are not good enough

[JUAN PABLO]

Nigel Callaghan without the hair.

What an utter wanker.

He's never as good as Callghan.

Bannan was fuckin awful as well. He gets away with murder with Villa fans. The amount of times he gives away possession is laughable. He's barely Championship material let alone Premier.

true and Holman is wank

[eastie]

I think a lot of fans who rate bannan have seen him developing in the reserves and he has received great plaudits but I'm still not convinced about him at premier level- Holman is a worker with little quality and Ireland has quality but can't be bothered- yesterday playing those 3 as our midfield was crazy and the outcome inevitable.

They are all championship quality - lower half -  be fine for next season

[Nirog72]

To be fair to Banna, what chance does he have with those two 'supporting' him in midfield?

[Ads]

I would like to see Westwood and KEA sitting to allow Bannan to player higher up against Swansea. He is one of two in that trio that I hope are sidelined for bwtter by Weat Ham, but needs must. KEA however poor her has been, at least has some exprience.

We will need Holmans headless chicken running to press them.

Ireland can piss off. The uninterested, bald headed, fucking wastrel.

[Mortimer's Bear]

It doesn't help his cause that away from football he appears to be such an odious little fucker.

[onje_villa]

Yesterday he started very poorly I thought - simply letting balls slide past he coud have gone for - then he started to get a little space and laid the ball off better - but he just coasts along as if we are 4-0 up - no urgency.

The way he runs always reminds me of that weird upright gait Steven Seagal has - acting imperious but actually looks a twat

Maybe Steven Seagal is the defensive midfielder we've all been waiting for to sit alongside Westwood, roundhouse kicking any bastard who dares to take a run at our flaky defence...

[LeeB]

I'd take Ralph Macchio right now.

[Ron Manager]

The Independent pretty accurately summed up his performance yesterday as "little other than casual plodding and profligacy".  It's a shame because we all know he can be a good footballer but really now the only option is to find someone to take him and his exorbitant wages off our hands.

Perhaps Arry might take him on or even MON cant think of anyone else.The problem is he might sit tight on the wages he is on and play out his contract in the reserves. Or hopefully clear off to the States to sit by the pool and play a little football in his spare time.

[Des Little]

No one's going to give us a round coin for that useless bastard. Couldn't be less interested if he tried, and the quicker PL realises this and relegates him to the stiffs the better.

[old man villa fan]

How did we end up with him?

There was talk about O'Neill setting up the deal to take Milner to Man City and because he new Lerner would not give him the money to spend agreed to take him in part exchange.  O'Neill then left and being managerless and with the window closing, the club agreed to carry on with the deal.

Yeah,at the start of the season after a couple of half decent performances i was clutching at straws that this would be a come back for him,but now we can't afford to carry any passengers,so i wouldn't have him anywhere near the first team. I'd rather we push Delph more forward,as he obviously can't tackle.

wastrel is a great term, i just think he is a pixie looking mentally imbalanced egotistical wanker myself!
