I can see him leaving if they get Bale, but for a variety of reasons I very much doubt Lambert would be interested.

Here's the Stephen Ireland to Doncaster rumour again:

http://www.caughtoffside.com/2013/07/25/aston-villa-outcast-on-verge-of-shock-doncaster-rovers-move/?

The part of the article that interested me was this:

"The Midlands club are understood to be desperate to get as many high earners off the wage bill as is possible before the summer transfer window slams shut once and for all for the year on Aug 31, with veteran keeper Given having already agreed to move to the Keepmoat stadium on a season-long loan next campaign."

I didn't know Given was already going to Doncaster for a season!

Has Hutton actually gone back to Spain or was that wishful thinking on most supporters' behalf? I think Bent has to lower his earnings expectation to get a move  and I can't hep thinking the only way to rid ourselves of Mr Pink is to pay him off,  ditto Given unless he actually has gone.

unless someone like ireland takes a settlement figure im not sure of the point in paying him off. would surely be better to keep the cash in the bank making interest and leave him in the stiffs...

Didn't he demand something similar when he left Citeh? surely that should have caused alarm bells to start ringing... not sure who i think is a worse signing, Ireland or Beye. :(

I've said before, it would be a lot cheaper for us to have Ireland killed.

Killing him is very harsh, although it would save some poor club a fortune in wages.

The other benefit of having him clipped, is we could also claim on the insurance money.

Is it? I think killing him would be too kind, if anything he deserves to be the real life victim of a horror movie - Saw and Human Centipede spring to mind.

Just send him to our Physio, seems to be doing a decent job at trying to kill half our squad.

I'd walk to Manchester and carry him back to get him playing in our current team. I'd give Milner a couple of quid for the train.

I know, let's have a ten page talk about how Barry, Milner and Young might fit into the current side, I love them.
