Patience is wearing thin amongst many blues! not having a great season but he's not playing every game, has had quite a few injuries and has been played out of position. One word to anyone who wants to sell him : Giggs
Even as an avid rag hater, I cannot in my wildest dreams compare Stevie to Giggs. Two totally different players and with respect, ireland will never be as good as Giggs.
We have to accept that City is evolving and moving on and as much as it is great to have some 'old faces around', the owners don't want to wait 10 years for success. They are already into this for squillions and 18 months. So if ireland goes, it will be sad for all of those 'loyalty' spouters, but i for one will not mourn his leaving. I will get right behind his replacement and buy the shirt
