I've never rated him, and I think he's pound for pound one of the worst signings this club has ever made. The most mind boggling part of the deal is that he was signed while we were manager-less. So who signed him, Lerner, Faulkner, the bloke who cuts the grass? Absolute madness, and it's just another in a long line of bonkers decisions this club has made under Lerner over the last few years. Even after saying that though I still think its wrong of Lambert to be alienating senior players while we're in this dangerous predicament. We may need Ireland at some stage in this relegation run in, so why do this now? Another pathetic decision by Lambert.

I expect to see Ireland, Bent, Given and Dunne all cleared from the wage bill in the summer, which would free up around £12/13 million a year in wages.A couple of that should be pumped into a new deal for Benteke.But if you take the £12/13 million figure and then that gives us a lot of wiggle room to get a lot of players in, ones who might contribute to the squad next season. We could probably get 5 or 6 decent players in and still make a saving on wages.

Another pathetic decision by Lambert. you have totally contradicted yourself in your hatred for lambert there. ireland is a leech, wanker, waste of a good sperm and a disgraceful signing by the club, though you still feel lambert is wrong to make him train with the kids when he , in your opinion be of use to the club!well i think this paracite needs to be as far away from the first team as quickly as possible as he is a bad egg and isnt with the rest as they embarque on a fight to stay up. i managed to go pitchside during the prematch warm up and routines and ireland just fucked about whilst all the others were trying to get their focus. he was laughing, half doing the drills and generally fucking about making comments. karsa several times had to just say his name to get him to concentrate. reminds me of my sons under 8 team. he is a wanker, get rid or keep away, whatever. Just dont let him near the positivity as he will infect it with his poison!

Just dont let him near the positivity as he will infect it with his poison!First of all I don't hate anyone let alone Lambert. Secondly we need every senior player at the club on our side ready to put shift in. This is the worst predicament this club been in for decades so the last thing we need is for the manager to alienate players who we may need to call on at some stage of the relegation run in. Lambert's man-management is absolutely appalling.
I genuinely hope we never have to suffer him in a Villa shirt again, and I though he would be great when he signed. He will be in the Championship or below inside 2 years. See Bentley. D.

I have to agree with Rutski, I cannot understand your position, as it seems very contradictory.You cannot state that Ireland is a waste of space (an accurate assumption in my view) and then decry the manager for his handling of him and that he should be ready to play, when you have previously and quite rightly said that he is a waste of space and should be nowhere near the first XI, such is his lack of contribution.
