Really??? One good season from Ireland in god knows how many makes him better than Milner? Two very different players in my book, but one of them is far more consistent than the other, with that player being Milner.
Ireland has the skill and talent to be leading playmaker in the league. Milner on the other hand, while more consistent, does not possess skill to take his game to that next level of really really top players.
Personally I'd like to see us try and get full potential out of Ireland rather than waste money on Milner who I couldn't even see in our starting line up for Spurs even if he signed before that. He simply isn't good enough.
I dont doubt he does have the skill but does he have the right mental capibilites to use it, from what i have seen the answer is no. IMO i can not ever see Stevie Ireland being banded in the same bracket as Fabregas, Scholes and Inestias and that IMO is the level of player we want to be aiming for if we want to be challenging the big boys of world football.
Can i ask a question......If we win a major trophy this season will anyone on here be bothered that Stevie Ireland on Craig Bellemy (if they are both sold) were not part of that and will you give them a 2nd thought???
My answer is no as there is no sentiment in football anymore and im past the point of getting attached to bloody football players. To me its all about City and im at the point from a very selfish point of view that i want to see us win something and if that means leaving players on the side of the road then so be it.
