At the moment, Aidan looks a decent if inconsistent SPL player but looks well short at CL and international level. I just think he has been fast-tracked and overhyped and I think having him as the only pacey winger in our squad is madness. He may still be learning his trade but for now you dont want to rely totally on the guy with L plates. We need another fast skillful winger in ASAP. You could see v Shaktar that we were very pedestrian and some blistering pace would have helped. I would be happy if that winger was shaun but I dont care as long as ihe is quality and has pace.

He doesn't cross the ball and he doesn't score goals, we have enough entertainers. In the CL he is only good as a sub when the game is drawn out. Although to be fair i can't remember Naka having a great game in the CL last year.

We're gonna be so glad we have this guy in a couple of seasons i think.At 21 he is a far better player than Maloney was,of course he has his faults.McGeady has come on in leaps and bounds under Strachan,even when he's having a stinker these days he works his socks off.Needs to work on his final ball and end product can be lacking.His problem in the SPL is that a lot of teams play a 4-5-1 and double team him and lord knows Naylor is no use to him.He has all the technical attributes to be a real player.I'd love to see him play in the hole,especially in a 4-5-1 away from home in Europe game.But he's the fan's whipping boy when everything is not going too well

McGeady lacks 1 thing, pace. If he had it he wouldn't have to turn back and beat a man 3 times before he can get his ball across.
I don't buy into the whole Maloney thing either, he win awards when there was no genuinely outstanding players and even at that it was form he never replicated over a number of seasons - 1 season wonder. -

Im a fan of McGeady, sometimes think he takes a better game coming off the bench, perhaps because players are tiring and it allows him to use his tricks and his lack of pace isnt so much of an issue then. I think he is clever, how often do we see that deffence cutting through ball and he has also developed his game in getting back and deffending. Thought he livened up the game when he came on last night and i also thought that when he came on against spartak. He maybe hasnt been banging in the goals but I think he will develop this part of his game also and become a top class winger.

it's the fact that mcgeady can hold the ball on the wing while players get in the box is what makes him so valuable.
