Stephen Ireland

[sid1964]

He could not care less about Aston Villa Football Club, a waste of money and space....

I put him in my starting 11 yesterday before the game but i wish i had'nt. It's as if someone needed to go up and remind him he was playing in a cup Semi Final.

Sell, please sell

I think he needed reminding he was on a football pitch.

A pitiful waste of space.

He likes to play nice little triangles but without hurting the opposition. Yesterday for instance he tried to do a fancy little chip on the keeper which wasn't really on instead of putting his laces through it which he doesn't seem capable of.

Neat and Tidy isn't what we need right now.

Sell, please sell

He's sell, and throw in Bannan as a sweetener.

I can just about believe that someone will lack the common sense to sign one of them, but theres no way were getting rid of both

I'm not an apologist for Stephen Ireland, but he wasn't the only waste of space on that pitch yesterday. He just is the lightning rod for what we think is wrong at the club because of aspects of his personal life. The guy is a part of a squad that are weak. If he had a leader on the pitch that he respected we might get more out of him and the other players for that matter. We have carried Gabby for a good few years now as well, but he seems to fall under the radar of our ire.

Yeah, Bannan would be a good make weight. But an even better paper weight.

I think Gabby is getting some stick - just read the gabby thread.

Ireland has done nothing at the Villa, other than slag off the city, admit he didn't want to join us and give a succession of half arsed performances.

Truth be told, neither are anywhere near good enough but one of them could/should be.

Absolutely agree, BUT, here is a guy who has done nothing in the game (generally) of note, except one half of a season at Man City where he was exceptional.
Last night, he should have been able to totally dictate the play, against 4th division opposition. He should have been relishing the chance to shine in a game like that, but instead he looked disinterested and frankly out of his depth.
And I agree, there are others just as bad.

He can just FUCK OFF!!!!

[JUAN PABLO]

to be fair , Ireland , Gabby and Bannan are not good enough .         

[arnie66]

Taking a fortune out of our pockets every week....and simply laughing at us
