If Ireland does end up coming to Newcastle on loan, hopefully he can get back to his best. Would help bolster a midfield which is hardly full of creativity.
Ireland------Barton----Tiote----Nolan-------Ben Arfa
---------------------Carroll
Would be pleased enough with that. Although a new striker would've been nice, as we only really have Carroll (injured) and Ameobi (hard to keep fit). Carroll is the only one I rate to do the bizzo week in week out, still hopefully the improvement to defence and attack will be made in the summer if we can finish roughly where we are now then Fat Ash might sanction a deal or three.
