Manchester City academy graduate, Stephen Ireland has insisted he has a lot to offer at Bolton after moving to the club on a short term deal in the summer.
Nottingham Forest manager Aitor Karanka has refused to rule out the loan exit of Ben Brereton amid the ongoing interest from Blackburn Rovers. The 19-year-old had been the subject of a £5m bid from the Rovers which was turned down but there remains the possibility of the teenager heading to Ewood Park on a temporary basis.
Stephen Ireland, the midfielder was capped by the Republic of Ireland 6 times. He is indeed one of the future’s best stars as he made more than 100 appearances for Manchester City. Ireland has had his share of struggles to obtain a place in the 1st team but was used in a deal with Aston Villa. James Milner was successful in heading the other way. Post his struggle for 1st team position, Ireland was with Newcastle United temporarily and then the movement to Stoke City did become permanent. Ireland was there close to 4 years and was let go in this summer.
Stoke City midfielder Stephen Ireland believes that the club can still escape relegation. He said that the team has been playing really well during recent games and he believes that they can remain in the Premier League. He said that they played well in their last game against Arsenal and that they were a bit unfortunate to lose by 3-0. He said that the players fought well on that day and that they showed that they have improved a lot during recent games.
Stephen Ireland said that it is a big disappointment for him to not have been able to play enough games with Stoke City. Indeed the former Manchester City midfielder has been plagued with various injuries and has failed to make a sustained run in the team. He said that he would have loved to be more involved in the team and help them win some games. However, he admitted that there are some good players in the team and it is up to them to deliver the goods. He said that they are a good technical side and they keep on improving every game.
He said that we have reached a stage of the season where you need to get points quickly if you want to remain in the Premier League and it is important to fight for each point.
