There's some noises emanating that a switch to Manchester United may be on the cards
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 ? ? ?
He just announced on Twitter: "Staying in Manchester"
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 ?
just when you thought it was over...!

might have to replace "stephen manchester" with "stephen birmingham"?

Stephen Ireland, the gift that keeps on giving.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Times saying that the money would be used to lure McGeady too.
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. :-)

I hear his father is telling people he is returning to the national team.

'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?
Be a good deal for Villa if it goes through
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.
