    On the face of it, "104,476 people like this" does appear bizarre.

    According to the Liverpool Echo, Everton will allow McGeady to join Preston on a permanent basis for £2 million: http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport...inger-13031354

    Middlesbrough now keen on McGeady, according to Dan McDonnell: http://www.independent.ie/sport/socc...-35819627.html

    Their interest predates the appointment of Garry Monk as their manager and the next move will depend on his intentions.

    either of those moves would be good for him. Boro looked shocking going forward last season.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    McGeady playing for the Smoggies - just don't see it. Another change wouldn't be great for him as he usually takes time to settle. If Preston want him and he likes it there, probably better for him to stay as they have a good manager although I don't really see them challenging for promotion but then I would have said that about Huddersfield last season.

    Big club. Long contract for his age. Good chance of promotion under a good manager that rates him. Not a bad move.

    He'd want to hit the ground running there. The Sunderland fans can be pretty tough it seems.

    I don't know if "tough" is the right word. Sunderland fans have had to put up with an awful lot of rubbish from not even half-arsed players over the last few years, especially last season, and they aren't afraid of calling it out. McGeady is very-capable of doing well for them at that level. Problems at the club go beyond the squad though.

    The trouble with Aiden is that he takes time to settle. His first month or so at Preston he spent some of the time on the bench and once he got a run, he played well. His loan spell at Wednesday didn't go well as he was in and out of the team. AT least his manager knows him and likes him so hopefully it will work out for him.

    P.s. Mods, there are 4 other Aiden McGeady topics which may be worth merging.

    True, I was more thinking about the way they treated Kilbane and turned on McClean... two players you could never accuse of being half-arsed, even if there were other factors in McClean's case.

    Considering his age, he's still fleet of foot in tight spaces whereas Duff at that age had lost his ability to dribble.
    Contract wise and club wise it looks to be a good move

    Noticed that too. He still seems to glide along the ground like he always has.

    We can't complain too much about his not going back to PNE too much either. Frees up some space for Horgan et al to get more regular game time. With McGeady, you'd envisage a manager starting him at Championship level even when out of form due to his ability to pull a rabbit out of that had. That blocks up a starting spot.

    Simon Ferry interviews Aiden McGeady (mostly about breaking through at Celtic as a young fella).

    Only got around to watching the rest of these now. Would highly recommend to anybody that hasn't watched them yet (along with O'Dea's). Brilliant insight into their careers behind the scenes.
