Absolutely right ......
no way , no way at all , is Stephen Ireland £16 million worse a player than James Milner!!

Your post smacks of arrogance and a lack of respect for a player a lot held in high esteem. A player who was being shown the door and then turning it right round, putting in the extra work to improve his game - something that a lot of people in all walks of life fail to do. You may have 4500 loyalty points, but they don't make up for being a bit of an idiot with a few of your comments regarding Ireland on this thread alone.SWP's back said:I shed no tears. I thank him for his one good season and wish him well. I hope he re discovers his form and goes on to be the footballer we hoped he would become. But at the end of the day, the young multi- millionaire will be ok.
The crying and excess of sentiment in here reminds of when Princess Di died to be honest.
Rose tinted also.
SWP's back said:Also Billy, academies are there for producing superstar players on the cheap that make the grade in the longrun. Not to help the fans form emotional attachments to players.

Ireland made 1 assist last season, Milner made more than 10.
Erm... yeah.

Ireland never made that central midfield place 'his own' last season, whereas Milner did. Milner was also England's best midfielder in South Africa.Colin_Bell said:MCFC BOB said:More money than sense?

Starts per game Bob ?
Explain the arrogance and lack of respect in wishing him well. Idiot comment.Joycee Banercheck said:Your post smacks of arrogance and a lack of respect for a player a lot held in high esteem.

I know we don't normally agree, me and you, but I do with this 100%.glen quagmire said:Thanks for that, but you don't speak for me. Ireland is a great lad, but sentiment will only get you mid-table shite, milner is another cog in mancini's title challenging machine. As for the worst transfer business..... samaras, weah, dabo, i could type till my fingers bleed. Thanks for the memories stevie, good luck at villa.
