McGeady

i am starting to think this too, when he is up against a hungry player with desire he loose's out and always ends up second best

 

I would get rid and get as much cash as possible, he's just not consistent enough.

 

Lets ask this question....

Some people on here think he is "* Like"

He goes to the Birmingham in the EPL.... Plays on the wing!

The come up against Sunderland early in the season, he comes up against Hutton again, a player probably seen as a decent EPL full back, DECENT!

How does Aiden get get on.... ???

He gets his * felt as usual, consistantly failed when up against Hutton or any other half decent full back (even Broadfoot)

He will fail miserably down in the more physical, quicker, more tallented EPL...

The Bhoys a haddy, I cant wait for him to do one!

The torn faced antics will not go down well down south... Gaurunteed he will be back to celtic within a season or 2 anyways

 

It's been said many times over the last few years "When Mcgeady plays well , Celtic plays well" , or "Stop McGeady and you stop Celtic" but Im not convinced it's a case of that or that people should even see it like because it implies we are a one man team (in terms of creating) and if that's the case then the previous managers are at fault because the team has been unbalanced for at least 3 seasons and too much expectation is put on one guy.. I think Mcgeady will probably do well in a team that is doing well , and whoever takes the Celtic job will want to put their own stamp on the team with their own players , and it's probably best for Mcgeady and Celtic to part while there's still a relationship there..

 

I think the problem is we all rightfully assumed that we have a technically amazing player on our hands that just needs to iron out his decision making, final ball, and maturity.

3 seasons or more in the first team and he has simply failed to address any of these problems. Sure by the law of averages he can sometimes get things right and look good (like that outrageous spin/cross against Aberdeen a few seasons back), but this season he has taken 2 steps backward.

I would say the board should consider offers but what are we realistically to get? £3m?

 

Agree totally...get Aiden out? ~Yeah and we're then stuck with N'Guemo, Brown, Crosas, McGinn etc etc

McGeady never hides, even when its not going for him he always shows for the ball.

McGeady AND Samaras are 2 of the very few players i'd want to keep at CP next season.

 

Cant pass or shoot?

Which of our midfielders have scored more goals or have more assists this season???

 

N'Guemos been better than McGeady this season???

Like i said in an earlier post, tell me which midfileder has scored more goals and has more assists than McGeady this season?

 

When you say that we will be left with X/Y/Z when when we get rid of McGeady, dont you think they will go out and replace him.... ???

Please dont tell me some of you think that this boy is irreplaceable.

And he never hides, are you suffering from mentalness mate... So he never hid on Saturday... He never hid in most of the Old Firm games he has been completely anonymous in... he never hides in Europe when you wouldnt even know he is on the park... ???

Its worrying that there are some on here rate this boy so highly!

While playing in the SPL (pub League in comparrison with most others) his passing sucks *, his final ball is pittiful, he rarely unlocks defences, never lifts his head, doesnt shoot or score nearly enough, his attitude stinks on and off the park.

And these people making excuses for him, the team around him isnt good enough, he needs the right manager to motivate him.... What a load of bollox!

If he is that good, he should stand out the way others have in the past and will in the future. Shocking enditement on some of our support hold this immature, overhyped diddy in such high esteem...

 

Would I be sad to see McGeady go - No

Would he be my first choice of players who should go - No.

The problems in his game are frustratingly obvious and don't seem to have improved however there are plenty other players I would want to see go before selling McGeady unless we got offered stupid money for him.

 

Think the thing is with McGeady, he is probably 1 of only 3 to 4 players that we could expect any money on to be honest, therefore the constant long winded discussions on the boy.

 

Unless it was stupid money then I still wouldn't sell, get rid of the others first as even without generating much money from the sale of them we'd still reduce the wage bill which is a much bigger obstacle to buying new players than the actual transfer fee anyway in some cases.

If after getting rid of some of the others and we still needed to sell then yes by all means but I wouldn't get rid of him first just because we might get 3 or 4 million for him, anymore than 6/7 million though and I would consider it as to me that's stupid money for someone with his obvious flaws.

 

No I totally agree with you.

There are a few I would release for free.

But to be honest, wholesale changes are not always the way forward, you cannot dismantle a whole side, its never worked, look at Mogga.

I think guys like fortune, we would be lucky to get £2M back on, guys like Sammy etc may go too.

But the thing is with McGeady, if we recieve an offer at the end of the season anywhere near or over the £4M mark, you bet your bottom dollar Celtic will contemplate a sale...

we wont get silly money for McGeady, thats a shoe on, I think we have to be realistic, he plays in the SPL, very inconsistent, rarely delivers on the big stage, why would anyone pay in exxess of £6M for the boy...

You have quality, quality proven premiership players like Niko Kranjaer going to spurs from Pompey for £2.5M, and only 25 years old. the market will start to drop due to the financial immplications that are going on in England, players will start going for cheaper.

We wont get a lot of money for McGeady, but I agree, there are players i would like to see leave 1st, but teams may bid for Aiden 1st....

 

I don't think anyone would be silly enough to offer crazy money for him which is why I wouldn't mind if we didn't sell him as despite his flaws he offers more to the team than some of the others in the squad.

I agree though if any bid comes in at all then it's likely to be considered, I'd just much rather we got rid of some of the others first.

I also agree a gradual overhaul would be more beneficial than trying to change everything in the first season, just change 3 or 4 players a season by adding quality, not quantity.

 

Yeah I agree totally.

And with 4 of our players on loan, I would look to get rid of maybe another 3 or 4 in the summer on top of that, but that would need to be early summer hopefully, hence the need for a new gaffer in place.

If Im honest, i do think McGeady will go, but I dont think he will be pushed, would maybe let go the likes of Samaras, Fortune and a few others also.

But as you said, gradual is the way to go

 

Wow you speak so highly of the lad don't you...however, you are more than entitled to that opinion, as am i mine.

Again i reitirate, Aiden IMO is the best player in our squad, also the biggest asset and as such, if we were to receive a bid in excess of £8M for him the board may decide to cash in, however, i personally would rather keep him and build a team around him.

I don't think McGeady hides in games...far from it...even on Saturday when he was having a stinker he always showed for the ball and was willing to takes passes unlike Captain Marvel and the rest.

I'd get rid of Brown 1st, surely we could get "decent money" for him? The centre of midfield has been our weakest area for a while now and needs to be addressed ASAP.

Aiden McGeady MUST STAY!!!

 

Your right bud, def's entitled to our opinions mate!

But if you think for a minute, that our board will receive a bid in excess of £8M, and knock it back, due to us building a team around the boy, after the 2 seasons we have had, non champs league cash etc... you need to think again mate...

Tell me why, you think a EPL team will bid in Excess of £8M for a player who ply's his trade in the SPL, and wether you like to admit it or not (dont know why you wouldnt admit it) has been posted missing in most of our most important domestic games and European games. A player who has not improved 1 iota in 5 years in the 1st team, and his flaws are there for everyone to see and have been posted numerous times on this forum.

Why would an EPL team bid 3 times the price of Niko Kranjaer, more than James Milner and nearly the same amount as the likes of Ashley Young, all proven ELP players in the same wage braket, all bigger, quicker and more physically adaptabple to the league...

Why.... ???

 

You can use stats to prove whatever you want.

Are you seriously going to tell me Aiden McGeady is good at shooting? He's * diabolical at shooting and everybody has seen it and knows it. The fact that he has scored six goals does not change the fact that he can't shoot to save his * life.

If you want to be oblivious to that fact then that's your outlook.

PS. Yes, N'Guemo has had a better season than McGeady.

 

mate mccourts scored 3 goals this season thats half mcgeadys amount and mccourts only played 7 games for us this season

maloneys scored 4 and hes been injured since november

theres no excuses for mcgeady

 

Great post!
