The same paper who brought us the Kenny Miller story are now saying that Juventus and Inter will battle it out in January for Brown's 5M signature... They have a replacement lined up:boogie: UNSETTLED Aston Villa midfielder Stephen Ireland is wanted by Celtic. He has had an unhappy time since moving from Manchester City in August and has yet to hit it off with boss Gerard Houllier, who joined a month later. Celtic want to take Ireland on loan for the rest of the season. It mirrors the Bhoysââ?¬â?¢ coup in signing Tottenhamââ?¬â?¢s *Robbie Keane until May ââ?¬â?? ironically, he is still being linked with a move to Villa. Ireland would jump at the chance if no big English clubs are *interested in him. Villa would prefer to recoup some of the *Ã?£7million they spent on him but could be *persuaded to allow him out on loan. Celtic boss Neil Lennon is chasing a couple of new faces after assessing his squad in their title race with Rangers, and feels Ireland would fit the bill. Celtic could pick up the bulk of his wages, with Villa looking to offset as much of the Ã?£60,000-a-week salary as possible. Houllier has been leaving Ireland out of the side despite the clubââ?¬â?¢s injury problems and there will be new arrivals in the January transfer *window fighting for a *midfield slot, so a move looks the best solution. Ireland quit Manchester City because he was out of their plans but would not fall foul of the rule which *prevents a player from representing three clubs in a season *because he did not appear for Roberto Manciniââ?¬â?¢s side this season. The 24-year-old would *relish the chance to show his quality at Celtic and it could suit all parties, putting him in the shop window and *possibly setting up a *permanent move. While Ireland is heading for the exit, Houllier is keen to bring in French striker Nolan Roux, 22, whose goals have fired surprise side Brest to the top of the table. He was watched by Villa scouts in his last two games and could be one of *several players captured by Houllier. Roux has been with Brest for a couple of seasons and has netted 15 times in their *promotion push. He has *adjusted well to the top flight and could prove a bargain signing. The talented attacker is also being tracked by other Premier League sides, but Houllierââ?¬â?¢s contacts and *reputation in France give him the edge. http://www.people.co.uk/sport/football/football-hotline/2010/12/05/celtic-make-loan-bid-for-unhappy-aston-villa-midfielder-stephen-ireland-102039-22761547/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 Ireland is a player I wouldn't want timmy to get - I really rate him. He was superb at City till he fell out of favour. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_Ally 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 What is this? The worse Brown plays, or when he's out injured and people have forgotten how poor he actually is, the greater the sum and the more prestigious the club he is linked with. Agree with Danny, even if Ireland has struggled at Villa I wouldn't fancy him playing there. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Agree with Danny, even if Ireland has struggled at Villa I wouldn't fancy him playing there. We said that about Keane, but he didn't help them win the league from us! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Keane was past it. He's younger than Kenny Miller. Ireland would walk the SPL Heard this heaps of times and the player doesn't always produce the goods. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
