Ireland's Your Man

Who is Manchester City's best player?
Richard Dunne? Elano? Martin Petrov? Craig Bellamy? Surely it's Robinho?
Not a chance.
Stephen Ireland...by a distance.

Forgett all that has gone before, and all the trouble that he has got himself into (the 'my grandmother passed away...again trick). He has had a fantastic year in which he has outshone the majority of the underperforming, work-shy Manchester City side. He has just signed a new 5 year deal and my word, he deserves it. If you took a random person off the street and made them watch videos of Manchester City (hell, i know) before asking them who they believed was the 30 million pound signing, everyone would point to Ireland.
His distribution has been excellent, his teamwork is improving all the time and he is finally starting to grab a few goals to make him the complete midfielder.

What should the owners of Man City be looking to do in the transfer market this Summer?
Forget Terry, Kaka and Ronaldo, sign a team of Stephen Irelands.
