As for Villa's squad, Ashley Young is the only player I'd touch as someone correctly pointed out, we've already had their best 2 players.
As fo Ireland, his downward spiral continues. Porb Fulham for him next, with Hughes with his am around him telling him how wonderful he is every 20 seconds, as that might make him give a toss about the team results.

If this were the case, are there any Villa players we might be in for and who might significantly enhance our squad (and before anyone suggests it, I'm not really thinking about Richard Dunne and Superman Ireland).

Oh that is harsh about Ireland. He was a young lad and to develop properly you need a good run of games. He stopped getting a run of games before he left us for whatever reason, and just hasn't settled properly at Villa. If he went to a side like Fulham, Sunderland, even Liverpool at this point, and got a run of games, he would begin playing at a high level once again. It was just bad luck/bad timing during an important time in his development. Quite frankly, I hope Johnson continues to get games here and there so the exact same doesn't happen to him.

Sick of saying it but I would have thought a lot more highly of Mancini if he developed Ireland and not cast him aside. I like to see us holding onto our academy players. Ireland was the best one we had. Be interesting to see if MJ can make it.....
I am the lonely distant voice crying for my long lost hero .... Hear me despair.

Albrighton for me too, with an eye on the future. He wouldn't get a lookin at the moment in our midfield but he's young with potential, and one or two of our players are somewhat 'mature'.

Ashley Young is an exciting player, Downing would be useful back-up on the left, Albrighton, Clark and Delfouneso have bags of potential. But not one of their players would be in my City 11.
