KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Stephen Ireland.. is he available?

If Ireland is available, I think we really should be thinking of buying him. he's such a talented midfielder, with lots of energy and creativity. he might not be the most glamours signing, but he is an all action type of midfielder.

it seems that Man City will offload him, and we really should be consider buying him.


Has Liverpool showed any interest so far?

i think there will be a few players leaving city during the summer and ireland could well be one of those, with regards to us buying him, there are more important positions we need to fill firstly, e.g LB/Striker..

Teletext is saying that Man City currently have 37 in their first team squad and have to trim it to 25. Personally I would take De Jong or Johnson

I do agree that a Left Back is the most important position to be filled before the start of the season. but also, you have to bear in mind that one of or major problems with our midfield, is it's inability to move the ball forward.

Aquilani was brought in to deliver something that should have been "better" than what Alonso could provide us with. Benitez thought that a "deep lying" midfielder is not the best solution, and would be better with a more mobile midfielder. that is why he was considering Barry and Aquilani.

comparing Aquilani/Lucas to Ireland, he would be better than both of them. I am not trying to start bashing those two players. it's just that I felt Ireland would improve our CM quite considerably.

De Jong would be good for when Masch the Mercenary leaves?

he's been linked with sunderland and city will want £10m for him

good player but not our priority.

id rather have a left back, centre mid, striker and a winger before we sign another attacking mid unless we offload aqua

not this again. stephen ireland is a tool, and a tastless tart with a serius attitude problem. he doesnt even like his own country. hes probably checking out his ancestry for a french connection.

We got enough central midfielders. I would like him in the squad, if we got him for a decent price.

De Jong is a monster in the middle, dude is tireless, he´d be a super signing, plus it looks like City have to sell players...we could be prob get him less for less than 10 mil..

de jong is a good player. but he was a finalist in the WC and surely mancini rates him highly. they spent alot of money on him and city seem to be holding firm regarding transfer fee's for their players. they say they want 2 players for every position so if they play with 2 centre mids that would mean they need 4 for next season.

Barry
Toure
De Jong
Johnson
Vieira
and Ireland will probably fall into this catergory too

now the interesting thing is they need their english players. they got a few in defence, in goal and on the wings providing they keep adam johnson and SWP. i just can't see them letting a world cup finalist go at a cheap price, you'd seriously have to be retarded
