“北方回声报”消息，只要斯蒂芬 - 爱尔兰肯答应降薪，他便有机会离开曼城转投斯蒂 夫 - 布鲁斯旗下的桑德兰。 上周，原桑德兰中场罗里克 - 卡纳令人意外地离开球队去往加拉塔萨雷，布鲁斯需要有 人能支撑起球队中场。 然而，桑德兰并不愿意为爱尔兰支付多达 8万英磅的周薪，他需要接受降薪才能够来到光 明球场。 这位 23岁的中场球员上赛季和曼城俱乐部签了一份5年合同，却只得到16次上场机会。在 桑德兰他将可以得到固定的上场时间，而桑德兰需要做的，是能为爱尔兰支付1000万磅的 转会费。 罗伯托 - 曼奇尼刚刚签下了亚亚 - 图雷和大卫 - 席尔瓦，这给了爱尔兰一个信号，他 将可能被作为交换筹码以换取米尔纳，因为阿斯顿维拉也对他感兴趣。 桑德兰的助理教练埃里克 - 布莱克说：“如果能引进爱尔兰这样的球员那实在是太美妙 了。我想每个人都会知道他是一名多麽好的球员，但这也是一种大胆的尝试，毕竟他的薪 水很可能会超过我们的工资水平。“ “爱尔兰是个很有天赋的球员，很多人都想要得到他，但他的薪水实在太高让我们很难下 手。他是名好球员，我喜欢他，至於是否能得到他，或怎麽支付他的薪水，那都是另外一 回事。“ Manchester City's Stephen Ireland Could Find Regular Premier League Football At Sunderland The opportunity to captain Steve Bruce's Sunderland could lead Stephen Ireland to turn his back on Manchester City, if he is willing to take a pay cut, reports The Northern Echo. Bruce needs to bolster his midfield after Lorik Cana surprisingly quit the Stadium of Light for Galatasaray last week. However the midfielder might have to take a pay cut, with Sunderland unlikely to be able to match his current ￡80,000 a week salary. Twenty three-year-old Ireland was limited to just 16 appearances last season and could find regular football at Sunderland if the Black Cats can reach City's ￡10million price tag for the midfielder, who only last year signed a new five-year deal at the club. Roberto Mancini has signed Yaya Toure and David Silva, signalling the door for Ireland, who has also received attention from Aston Villa, who are lining up a swap deal for James Milner. Sunderland assistant manager Eric Black said: “It would be wonderful to bring a player like Stephen Ireland to the club. “I think everybody is aware how good a player he is, but it could be a long shot, we have a certain level of salary which his probably exceeds. “Stephen is a very gifted player and, of course, most of us would be interested. “He earns a hell of a lot of money and most of us are priced out of the market. “He’s a good player and I like him, but whether I can afford him, or get him, is another matter.” 中文新闻出处:http://tinyurl.com/2ak22dh 英文新闻出处:http://tinyurl.com/2g2txa7 --
