Why bother? Easier to not think about JH being sold.
i understand that but it may happen and this lad, has shown in the past, he is a goalscorer from midfield, which safc are lacking, if we are being honest.

he would be pointless for stoke as is gudjohnson but fulham play football and i would rather he was at safc.
 
He's been gash so far (absolutely appalling against us) though I'd be keen on us trying to revitalise his career for the right price. Though as an additional signing rather than a replacement.
 
Six months ago I would have been excited at the prospect of Ireland joining our merry band, but have been completely underwhelmed by his performances at Villa. Does it say something that two PL Managers would have seen fit to move him on in such a short period (if true)?

He'd not be too bad for Stoke really. His strength seems to be bursting into the box on to knock downs and that's all they need midfielders to do in an attacking sense.
 
Apparently Meyler talked to him about coming here in the summer and his response was "Why would I want to come to that shithole ?"

good point but i cant see who stoke would drop to accomadate him.

gudjohnson was signed and it was stated he would be brilliant for jones, by a canny few on here, but he has hardly played.

we shall see
 
SI doesnt become shite overnight, its the system Villa play, anyway Henderson is here to stay for now and Myler will play along side him very shortly.

canny but hardly surprising as footballers are so enlightened.
 
bring him in if he's not too dear but not as a replacement for Henderson.

I we do have to sell Henderson we'll get a lot more money than he woudl cost and I would want a better replacement

However I would bring him in now to play in our current team if he wanted to come, his attitude was right, and he wasn't too expensive

Well, if there's one footballer who has a history of exercising good taste and judgement it's Stephen Ireland.
