Mr Gittes 0 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Injured again according to twitter. This time for the season with an ankle injury. Hope we can set up another loan deal rather than a purchase. (if at all) Confirmed by .cock What a fantastic piece of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 31 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Was on a pay as you play as far as I know, so shouldnt have cost us much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa Lazaru 0 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Nobody can legislate for him picking up two new injuries in his time here after he got over the long term one we knew about so i don't think it was a bad decision to get him here as long as it was pay as you play. Whats a shame is we haven't now got any idea what form he's in and if it looks worth signing him as i imagine we could get him fairly cheap from Villa, IF Houllier stays on after his illness.

Deano 0 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks stephen but off ya go back to villa. Id not bother having him back next season now. Concentrate on someone else like taarabt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney 0 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 As Papa says, Houllier staying/going will have a big say on his future. A new manager might really rate him and the fans will likely give him a 2nd chance. Shame as if he recaptured any of his form from when he played under Hughes he'd be a superb addition to the squad.

The fact that will sway if for the FCB is that Ireland will be cheap. So we will probably sign him despite the fact that he is an injury prone wanker and we dont have a clue if he is any good. Marvellous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4008 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Depends what you mean by cheap. Just say for the sake of argument he's on 80k at Villa (not a stretch given he came reluctantly from Man City) and they were paying half his wages for the loan (or it was pay as you go as suggested) - I can't see us starting to pay those kinds of wages again even for frees.

Christmas Tree 4004 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Can't see Ashley touching this with a barge pole. A new loan deal or look elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monroe Transfer 0 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Concentrate on someone else like taarabt. Why do you talk about him as if he's a realistic target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2188 Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'd still be keen on signing him provided he gets the all clear from the medical. He's proved he's a good player, would improve the squad, knows the league and probably just needs a good summer/pre-season to get properly fit. I know it's a risk but his injury problems may be related to trying to get back on the pitch too soon or just bad luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
