    I think this would be the best move for him, he can paid a decent amount, have the lifestyle he seems to enjoy and would dominate in the league.

    Plus barely anyone here knows hes a *.

    My local a league team is the Newcastle jets, and all the fans were ecstatic when we just signed francis jeffers and michael bridges, so im sure if he pulled his head in he would become a cult figure for one of the teams.

    A few players have made the move from the spl and succeeded such as Grant Brebner (ex hibs and dundee united) and steven McGarry (ex st mirren and ross county) so I think australia would be a good move for Riordan as long as he pulls his head in and doesn't act like a * since hes pretty unknown by most people here, he would go really well and he could possible be one of the marquee players thus feeding his ego enough to keep him interested.

    If he goes to hibs him and o'connor would be quite good by spl standards.

    have to assume der hun will look at him at some point as well. if their taking aluko on trial surely a free transfer for derek riordan would wet their whistle?

    he might not go but i tell you one thing that scares me; derek riordan in a rangers shirt with an axe to grind against celtic.

    if they can get his head sorted out then he'd be fired right up to stick it to us after what WGS done to him.

    Although he is neddy I have always had a soft spot for Deeks. He is a really good instinctive player. Just sickening that if he has been clean living, built himself up in the gymn etc then he could have been a legend for us. He actually played well everytime he started for us. Strange player though, not really a striker or a winger. One of the few things I though WGS got wrong was playing him on the touchline. He is far better in a bit.

    Agreed Gunt, he would be absolutely lethal in the position Commons was playing in last season.

    He could've been a great Celtic player and a great player for Scotland but the * ruined himself due to his * habits and terrible behaviour off the pitch.

    So naturally talented aswell:rolleyes:

    More money than sense in Turkey it seems. Could Peter not interest them in a few of our surplus players?

    Off topic here but had to laugh there at the Sone Aluko comment.

    According to him you have to have played professional football before you can brand anyone a diver. If you haven't then you're "out of your depth" :56:

    Can't believe this muppet is STILL insinuating that he never dived :87:

    Aluko is a fud! A dive-is-a-dive-is-a-dive-is-a-dive!

    As long as you have eyes that work, then YOU ARE qualified to pass a judgement!

    Riordan would probably do not bad there, atleast he has a bit of skill and ability. Far more equipped than Boyd.

    Except mentally! Riordan cannot cope outside his circle of ned pals in Muirhouse!

    Not a big fan or Riordan but anyone ripping into Hearts & Rangers goes up in my estimations.

    This. Although the amount of abuse he takes on it is ridiculous.
