Birmingham back in for McGeady

^^^^ the best thing he has done as manager

 

I don't think it matters what Mowbray say's if the board get a crazy offer i think he will be sold. Don't get me wrong i would be gutted if we sold him but i don't think this years finacial results will be as good reading as last year and imo thats all that matters to this board.

 

I agree with you mate, we have to hold on to McGeady

 

i wouldnt mind as long as the cash was re-invested....but id miss him

 

Birmingham City to offer Celtic £14M for Republic of Ireland winger Aiden McGeady

Birmingham City to offer Celtic £14m for Republic of Ireland winger Aiden McGeady - Telegraph

That is some amount of dough

 

The board will bite the hand off brum for 14m but can you see the wee man playin beside barry the baw bag dont think so!!

 

I actually can. I think McGeady would be brilliant alongside Ferguson and McFadden.

 

just read a rumour that owen coyle is going to try to get mcgeady for bolton

dont know if they have got that kind of money though

hope not

 

If true that is serious money and will be a tempter for Celtic.

 

I meant on a personal level doc.Would he even go to brum ? Hear mcleish bein touted for liverpool They will be fightin to stay up next season any way.

 

I have heard McLeish being touted for Liverpool too. Birmingham are a club that are on the up and up, and are currently joint seventh in the EPL alongside Liverpool.

If McLeish manages to get Aiden and say Kris Boyd who knows how far they may climb.

I don't see Birmingham struggling at all next year. Big Eck has been promised a £40M War Chest by Birmingham's new president Carson Yueng.

 

Boyd would not score at EPL level - I think he's proved that enough times mate. Aiden would be great for them, really dont want it to happen.

As someone said in another post, say we get £14 million for him, most of that money we will never see - becuase we will not get champions league money next season, due to not being able to win the league without Aiden. Could we win the league without McGeady or a good enough replacement? I think not. He creates everything we do.

 

I expect that this £14M will be a "£14M package", i.e. McGeady's wages over the length of contract offered will be included within that figure.

Personally, if we can agree anything over 10M as a fee i'd snap it up, simply because how often can we say that McGeady has been in a consistant rich vien of form? other than recently, was his player of the year reward two seasons ago.

I simply can't forget all the frustration that Aiden has brought to us, now that he'* a purple patch and is being talked about being sold for way more than he's worth, I say we cash in while he'* some form.

 

thought it was too much to turn down

 

i'd take the 14 mill in a minute!

 

Doesn't matter what the board accept for him from whoever, if he doesn't want to go, then he doesn't need to accept their contract ! So at the end of the day, its down to Aiden. Can't see him going anywhere near Birmingham ! As for someone saying he would be average in the EPL, really ? Seemed to drift through Arsenal's midfield and defence with no probs in the CL as i remember ! Even Wenger commented on him.

 

I remember when we played barcelona . Puyol said he was the best winger he had come up against.

 

I don't disagree that he is a fine dribbler of the ball but that's of no use when you cant shoot, or put a good ball in.
That said, he is a major improvement this season.

 

Yeah i know mate. But my point was that if a player like Puyol says stuff like that and he is up against decent players every week. Then we should expect atleast 10-15 million

 

I agree at least that but got to sell him fot that & USE money for transfers We llok like we are in a crisis not them
