I just don't believe this.

Agree.

Agree.

When you say "always" what exactly do you mean? He has only had one decent season in him in 10 years as a pro. He seems a classic example of a footballer signing a life-changing contract and then putting more effort into his life-style than his profession. I really cannot see what the fuss is...

http://thesoccerguys.wordpress.com/2012/01/01/stephen-ireland-continues-to-fall-from-great-heights/ I really do think he will be a bad influence at the Albion.

Would they be willing to drive him to Falmer in his car though? This is the true test.

You say could become a fixture, it's a gamble just like Vicente was. He could also very easily not show any interest, pick up further injuries or carry on being a knob. One decent season by the age of 26 doesn't suggest much to me I'm afraid.

Vicente was a former Spanish player of the year. Ireland has, at best, had one good top flight season. Slight difference.

When parallels are drawn with Craig Bellamy you know you should steer well clear. My mind's made up now, I think we could do better.

Too much of a risk and he only seems to have had one decent season in him any way. Also he doesn't appear to be the most professional of players.

Oh dear. I have always thought he's a bit of a knob.
