Ireland was the only one who looked interested....

[Challenger1978]

i might be in the minority here but i just cant see what all the fuss is about with ireland, good player im not slagging the guy off but i just dont think he is a world beater. imo hes had 1 good season since coming through into the first team which was last year.
personally i think its the one major failing of the last transfer window, not buying a real quality ball playing/winning midfielder with loads of vision and able to put the ball on a plate for the strikers. there is better than st. stephen of ireland out there lads, honest!

edit: how can you say tevez didnt look interested?

Irelands still only 23, the kids got the world at his feet and hopefully will only get better with age.

I think the one thing that prevents The Emerald Prince from joining the Pantheon of City wizards (Peter Docherty, Bobby Johnstone, Colin Bell, Kinky and Bernarbia) is that he seems not to bring the high level of match after match consistency into the game, and it's a long time since we could say that he took the game by the scruff of the neck and made it his own. He has flashes of brilliance and in a game where passing has always been the key, he has the best pass in the club. Just got to flash it more often!

agree 110% dave, i wish i could have seen bobby johnstone, my old fella raves about him. if we could find ourselves a 23 year old benarbia i would be a very happy man!

We could win the league with a young Ali who could pass the ball through for our quick players to run onto.
