Aiden McGeady

[Pat O' Banton]

McGeady's improvement has been dramatic, he looks assured with the ball and knows when to cut in and when to lay the ball off as well as when to beat a man, something vital for a winger as it always keeps the defender thinking.
Hope that he does stay at Celtic not just cause I'm a fan but because he will at least develop over a couple of seasons of regular first team action and having a real amount of responsibility.

Now PP where have you heard a lot of that before!

Does Liam Miller sound familiar? overhyped and over rated.

I honestly, hand on heart, wasn't too sad to see Miller go. He was reportedly offered £30-40k per week. But I would be heart broken if McGeady went for £10m, never mind for free. I rarely, if ever, hype up youngsters but this fella is the most naturally gifted player to ever wear the green shirt. Now that is hype. :p

Not exactly, Miller did show some real class in Europe for Celtic and given another season at Parkhead, where he would have got more regular first team games it may have been possible for him to develop, now he is struggling to get a game at Old Trafford when everyone is fit. A man with definate potential but with alot of flaws to be worked out, this IMO would have been better done in the Celtic first team than Man U reservers or even worse their subs bench. This is one of the reasons that McGeady should look to stay with Celtic for a while.

From This morning's Guardian:

"Ferguson's antennae will also have picked up on how ineffective Miller was in the void between midfield and attack. Lightweight and seemingly incapable of asserting himself, it is becoming increasingly difficult to understand why Ferguson picked out the Irishman earlier this year."

I agree with Pat O that he'd have been better advised to stay at Celtic.

I'd like to think he'd give a better account of himself if he was surrounded by more regular first-teamers at MUFC but as I've asked before: would Ferguson have taken him to OT if he'd had to pay for him?

there is 1st team players in the premiership who arent even in this bracket. :rolleyes:
Juninho's getting paid over £40k a week and he can't even get his game fo Celtic or Boro. :rolleyes:

After getting MOTM and all sorts of plaudits in his last performance for them, how fickle some eejits can be :rolleyes:

The same hack probably never saw the Arsenal game last week.

Anyway, there's a whole thread now on Miller so I'll continue my thoughts on this subject over there.

We're nearly getting through the whole Celtic team. Here's what Juninho has to say:

"I think that, if you have technical players in your squad, it's good to give them the chance to link up together. We have enough strong, physical players to make that possible.

"I would like to play beside Aiden because I think he is a great talent. He will become a great player in time, although I think it will be important for people to be understanding with him because now you can see that it's starting to become more difficult for him.

"People know him now and are giving him special treatment, closing him down very quickly, much more than they did in the beginning. It's tough for him at the moment, but because of his qualities, he will learn how to deal with that and become a great player for Celtic."

A player with over 50 Brazilian caps been kept out of the team by an 18 year old. :) Add that to Nesta going up to him after the Milan game and I'm suprised McGeady is still keeping his head together.

Does anyone have that clip of the step over that he did in one game? I've gone through old threads but I can't find it!
