Stephen Ireland is apparently part of the deal with ongoing speculation Martin O'Neil left Villa as he did not want to sell Villa,s best assests. every club is a selling club for the right price
Despite the fact they've paid well over the odds for a player AGAIN, i think this will be a great pickup for Man C. I reckon he could go on to be one of the Prem's top players. Good deal for Villa even tho they're losing him, Ireland's pretty handy himself!
