McGeady can't cross

I think he's gona get some interest in the summer. I just hope that Celtics price tag isn't too restrictive.

Chardee MacDennis · 21-02-2008 01:38PM

have you not heard he has signed for FC Utrecht Ladies?

What does that mean? £1m, £10m or £100m?

I don't think he will either TBH, not for a while. If he has any sense, he'll have seen Miller, and more recently Maloney and Petrov and hopefully thought it best to stick around a bit longer rather than ending up like them.

Spot the Aiden;

He mentioned that he fancied Spain at some point didn't he? Think that would suit his game better then England would.

Unearthly · 25-02-2008 11:34AM

I'm in tears laughing at that

PauloMN · 25-02-2008 01:18PM

I saw the £12m Newcastle report in this morning's Daily Hun. Whether Newcastle are really interested and would pay that sort of money is one thing, but I couldn't see Celtic turning that much cash down.

It would be bad enough to see Aiden go, but I'd be gutted to see both him and Boruc - who I'm sure will be sold for the right price next transfer window - legging it in the summer.

The Irish Mirror have an article saying Bayern Munich want him.

thats a bit nuts, what would they do with him? Already have Ribery and Sweinschteiger (sp?!)

eirebhoy · 25-02-2008 07:50PM

It's probably a load of rubbish as it is the Mirror. Schweinsteiger hasn't really lived up to his potential though has he? McGeady's improving all the time. Schweinsteiger looks no better than he was 3 or 4 years ago.

PHB · 25-02-2008 08:18PM

I could see MON, who keeps a keen eye on Irish and Scotish players, taking a shot at him. The addition of him and Barnes to the squad would be pretty tasty.

GuanYin · 25-02-2008 08:19PM

Come on, how many Irish players have been linked to moves abroad that have just been hogwash. Breen? Duff? Ireland? I think even Dunne was linked witha Serie A side.

McGeady would probably fair as well as Keane did abroad. He'd do ok but not set the world alight.

I honestly think we're a funny bunch, we laugh and ridicule the English press for "overhyping" players because they're English and then we laud our own players with hyperbole and nonsense. I mean McGeady did ok against Barca but for an assist in a game against a team, that, while performing a masterclass in attack, showed they have defensive frailtie, I don't think he'd get a call to Italy or Spain.

BaZmO* · 25-02-2008 09:25PM

Irish players generally don't do non-English speaking leagues anyway.

eirebhoy · 27-02-2008 10:09PM

Another assist by McGeady just there. Superb cross for Samaras. To have 15 assists is fantastic considering I can't remember him taking an indirect set piece this season.

whatawaster · 27-02-2008 11:15PM

McGeady has really impressed me from what i've seen of him this year. As a liverpool fan, i'm torn. Part of me really wants us to sign him, as he seems to have everything we're missing in wide areas. But the other part of me says he'd be just another good, but not great signing, a la Pennant or Benayoun. i really don't know. If we sign two wingers in the summer i think maybe he could be one of them.

eirebhoy · 04-03-2008 06:54PM

Nobody update this thread with his latest assist?

Another excellent cross for Samaras on Saturday.

OhNoYouDidn't · 05-03-2008 12:25PM

I'm still waiting for the list of Sunderland players who would make the Celtic squad, let alone first team, that McGeady would be stepping up to.

sweetie · 05-03-2008 12:37PM

what was he like last night. Times didn't really mention him.

Squad, definates imo would be Reid, Jones, Gordon, Evans, Pica. I'm sure a few others would too.

Gordon as backup keeper agreed. Jones, Pica and Evans as cover possibly.

Reid would get nowhere near the Celtic side. Ahead of McGeady, Naka, Brown and Robson? Get a grip

Didn't get a look in first half, got a bit of ball in the 2nd half and looked good when he did, but Barca were on him like glue.

Celtic's lack of possession in general was the reason for his quietness.

eirebhoy · 05-03-2008 06:53PM

A compliment in itself how tightly they marked him. 2 or 3 players on him every time he got it. He skinned Zambrotta in the first half and left him for dead but he did it in his own half. He had to play way too deep. That was the only time he got around Zambrotta but he came inside a lot more in the 2nd half and linked up well.

McGeady can't cross
