Maloney left well within his rights and i don't blame him as the club waited till the last minute to open contract talks and had the bright lights of the EPL in his eyes. it was youthful neivety and maybe felt unwanted. he still has potential and was, certainly during the season he left, a better player than McGeady.

tbh i would have both back. both are an improvement on the squad overall. if we unload Donati, Riordan, Sno and Gravesen, we would have a midfield of Brown, Robson, Hartley, McGeady, Nakamura, Petrov and Maloney. that, coupled with the untested in a competitive match of Caddis, McCourt, Mizuno and potentially Crosas, we would be laughing. that midfield is packed full of quality in depth.

do we really need to get more midfielders?
