Stephen Ireland

[gervilla]

I doubt if he is going to come good at this stage.
He has had way too many chances and put in way too many pathetic performances.

[damon loves JT]

He is one of those who will go somewhere else and be brilliant.

You might be right but he's no good for us!

Nah, he'll end up in China or Qatar, shortly followed by either Celebrity Big Brother or that jungle shit.

[walsall villain]

Don't think he will. He had one good year at city and that was a while ago now. I try to never rant at players but couldn't help it yesterday.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

He needs his syrup and pink Range Rover back, i'm sure he'd improve then.

The fucking mentalist.

I can see him doing well at somewhere like Wigan.  Problem is he isn't interested in football, and we need him off the wage bill ASAP.  I saw Weimann lecturing him yesterday which just about sums him up.

For me too.  He isn't interested in football.

After seeing thus thread I was reading old Stephen Ireland thread from when he signed posted on that thread by mistake,. In short i feel the guy as a player doesn't do enough and as one of the more experience players is lacking in motivation i would like an exchange for another player if we can't get a Jan sale

[adrenachrome]

There was a period last season, epitomised by the home game against the Arse,  where he got stuck in and looked the part. You could tell it would not last, though: he clearly has unresolved bats in his belfry.

On Saturday, he showed a couple of flashes of what he is capable of when he puts what passes for his mind to it, but the rest of the time he was a waste of space, not to say skin and oxygen. The number of times he attempts to tackle with the wrong leg to give away a needless foul is beyond inept.

You can see he gets pissed off when the wide left player doesn't make a run when he is about to make his favourite pass, but that is no reason to go into his shell and throw a fucking strop.

In a team of kids the only example this waster shows is how you can milk a fortune out of the game by doing the square root of eff all - enjoy your wealth Stephen now please exit stage left and let some other club try and fail to realise the talent you have no inclination to display.

Ginola II, pointless footballers

[Singapore Villa]

He needs to go as we need him off the wage bill pronto.  A few half-decent passes in the odd game here and there, but for 65k a week we deserve a lot better.  He always looks disinterested and he rarely tracks back, which means we get ripped through the middle when he is playing and sulking.  In addition, he is supposed to be an attacking midfielder, but how often does he actually get into the box or make a run past the strikers.  If someone is mad enough to take him in January, get him sold.  If we can fund a hard bastard, no nonsense midfielder in his place then lets do it.  Watching Spurs I realise how solid they are with Dembele and Sandro, and they are exactly the type of midfielders that we miss - physical, strong in the tackle, athletic and decent on the ball.  Over to you Lambert.

[N'ZMAV]

He is a good player. But, this isn't the right club for him, or the right situation. His heart isn't in it. I bet he's one of the players that doesn't actually like Football.

[Ron Manager]

I still havent worked out who actually made the decision to sign Ireland. Was it MON?

It was probably Kevin MacDonald.
