    Both have won the double player of the year awards in Scotland, but comparing the two, who was the overall better player for Celtic?

    From what I can see, Maloney is more of a maestro, while McGeady is about the trickery and flair.

    I think its unfair to compare them. They both have strengths.

    They're both going to flop in England too

    McGeady. If I had to pick one of them to have, it would be McGeady, although I liked having Maloney in the squad.

    Maloney is a perennial supersub at Villa. someone to bring on when you need a bit of magic. Think Mcgeady is more an orthodox winger?

    They are players with different attributes and styles, so a direct comparison is not easy. I think if I was a manager at a club I would prefer to sign McGeady as he provides a great attacking outlet/option and can create.

    I havent seen enough of Maloney lately and his 'star' has fallen somewhat.

    I always felt Maloney was vastly over rated.

    I reckon McGeady has the potential to be a great player if he ups his consistancy rate.
    So probably McGeady......

    Not that id really want to sign any of them....:p

    As a Villa fan i wouldn't mind swapping Maloney for McGeady. As Maloney just hasn't settled. Has a player from Scottish league in the last few years ever done anything in the PL apart from Larsson.

    You don't like Petrov either then?

    I know he only had 6 months but he stilll managed a few goals at 36.

    He cut it in the best league in the world (la liga) and also had a big hand in winning Barca the european cup.
