    I've said it before on here that Man Utd are crying out for somebody like Ireland who can play between the striker(Rooney) and midfield (Fletcher/Hargreaves etc). If they can pick him up for 7/8 million then it would be a steal.

    Is that seven eights(7/8) of a million ya mean. I don't see United paying that kind of money (7 or 8 million) for a player that had
    one good season (maybe three quarters of a season). Admittedly he has shown promise (he can see and make a pass) but there would be big questions about him when the opposition has the ball and he has other issues ? ? ?

    Man Utd spent nearly 10 million on Smalling without him playing much for Fulham when the deal was originally announced. 7 million on Ireland is nothing.

    Does 'our' Stephen have the ability to be so.....deliberately cryptic?

    In fairness I could see how some club might give 4 or five million for him (and I am a tight *******, well with my own money) but it is a lttle interesting that clubs are not making inquiries about him (or maybe were just not hearing about them)
    It will be interesting to see how it pans out ?

    I just love the idea that he's a makeweight in somebody elses big deal. It'll appeal to his nature on so many levels. :-)

    'Man City use Stephen Ireland as bait in £27.5m deal for James Milner
    • Martin O'Neill wants Ireland to fill hole in Aston Villa midfield'


    Bait for a trap? also, I can imagine SI's wage demands creating a hole bigger than the one he can fill.

    Has MON mended his tardy ways when it comes actually signing new players?

    In fairness he is a good attacking player. There are a lot of questions still to be asked about the rest of his game.

    It would be interesting to see if he has all the attributes to be a top player. Jury still out, thats if they have even been assembled yet.

    It would be a good deal for Villa, if SI's £3.5m - £4m p/a could be reduced to a relatively sane figure.
