Stephen Ireland: Inks Permanent Deal with Stoke

Stoke City completed the permanent signing of Ireland from Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Analysis:

Ireland was already on a season-long loan from Villa, but Stoke wanted to make the deal permanent in order to open up a loan spot for the rest of the season. The midfielder has two goals and one assist in 13 appearances this season, and is currently working his way through a hamstring injury.
