Injury Update Ahead Of Wolves Game - Ireland Could Play


By Tyne-Talk
March 23 2011

John Carver has said today that he expects injury prone loan signing Stephen Ireland to make his debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers on the 2nd April after returning to full training next Monday. He also commented on Jose Enrique and Leon Bests fitness, with both players looking likely to be available.

 
John Carver said;

“Stephen Ireland will resume full training on Monday – he will join in with the group then and get a good week of training before Wolves, so we’re hopeful there.

Jose Enrique is no worse than he was leading up to the game on Saturday, so he has a chance. It is a mild hamstring which we will monitor over the next seven days.

Leon Best had to report with the Irish team, but I do know that the last time he had the injection on his ankle he was fine.

He had to go to Dublin to have the injury assessed, but hopefully time is a great healer and by the time Wolves comes along we’ll have him back.”

Hasn't this been the "update" for the last two matches? And didn't Pardew state that he's going to base his selection on who can train fully on Thursday? Wait until tomorrow evening and make a real announcement.

He has been a waste of space so far, but I do hope he does get fit and prove what he can do as I always rated him as a player and reckon we could pick him up for next to nothing. But at the moment wouldn't touch him

We're over a barrel without an option to buy in the loan deal anyway. I'm interested to see if he can help us over a few games but if he does well Villa won't sell him cheap.

I suppose a lot goes on, on what in the Summer over at Villa if amazingly Houllier keeps his job then he will want to ship him out, and Villa have spent a bit so maybe they may want to cash in on some of the fringe players

Spent enough that if Houllier wants a kitty he'll likely have to sell. They could still name a price that's too high for us, though.

Maybe but then he is a big gamble with hardly playing all season, so wouldn't pay too much for the lad

my take on this is we've got him arounfd the club for a reason even though he's very unlikely to play much due to his injuries!

He's undoubtedly got the talent to be a star for the club but the mental side of him has been questioned recently, therefore i believe he's been brought in so our coaches and AP can work closely with him see if he's got what they want, if he has then we can go to villa and play on the fact that he's spent most of the season injured, he's unhappy at villa, houllier seems to dislike him and we'll take him off their hands for a couple of million!

A couple of million I would rip there hand off, as if he can get back to the form of what he did at City and we have a good deal, the lad has got the potential, but a bigger fee and it is a big gamble as so many come along with great talent and never live up it, Dyer and Jenas being two of them

Agree with both of you. Interesting take, mental. Hadn't thought of that. And for a couple million, yeah-he's probably worth a shot.

I think if Houllier stays he will be willing to take a big cut to move him on. If nothing else but for the wages he is on for a player he didnt sign or want, I think.

They say he was valued at the 8 mill mark in the Milner sale so you could probably half that now. Also the trouble that Houllier has on his hands with the half of his playing staff, he will not be thinking of Ireland much.

Hopefully he will play a bit before the end of the season so we can see. Im still not sure I would risk 4-5 mill on him and he is meant to be on 65k a week in wages. I wouldnt want to pay much more than half that until he can prove he can get back to top form. Maybe a further loan for the season with a price agreed should he make the grade.

As for Wolves, Doyle got cattle trucked player for Ireland and shoudl miss the game if not the rest of the season. He hasnt scored much this year but his work rate is immense for them and he will be missed.... I hope.

Make no mistake, BB-Doyle will be a big miss for Wolves. Too bad in a way, as we've been linked to him and I like the kid. Oh well, he's not super young and would probably want big wages anyway.

As for Ireland, no way I'd risk 4-5M and 65K/week if we don't get to see him over at least 5 games.

There is no way I would pay that and those sort of wages and couldn't see Ashley doing it, think he would take the punt on 35k a week and maybe a few grand on bonuses. Doyle is a really good player and a real grafter and reminds me of Davies over at Bolton, another player who was quality in hos day, maybe didn't get the goals but work rate and setting up goals you couldn't knock
