Pardew: Ireland Has A Point To Prove!


By Tyne-Talk

Alan Pardew has confirmed the signing of Stephen Ireland from Aston Villa and said that he believes the 24 year old has a point to prove, one that he will make at Newcastle United. Pardew told the official site nufc.co.uk


"Stephen has shown over the past few seasons that he's a real top player so we're really pleased to have got him until the end of the season.

As a creative midfielder he can create chances for others and score goals himself and we think he can be a big factor for us in the second part of this season.

I think Stephen feels he can deliver more than he's shown at Villa so far, so he's got a point to prove and I believe we can reap the benefits of that."

Apparently not. Don't see what a knackered Ireland can do for us.

Mercenary. Cannon fodder. Get out there and do a job. No happy talk, though-please.

There was no need for an option to buy as Villa want rid.

So putting anything into the loan would mean we'd have to set a transfer fee and wages in advance. We dont know how well he'll be and Villa will want a large chunck of their 9m back.

We can get him through the door and if he's a big hit pay the asking price. If he's not we have the option to haggle.
