BBC Radio Scotland interview after the game tonight:
Quote:
Chick Young: Did Celtic impress you tonight?
Wenger: Yes, their energy and comitment was very good and McGeady was outstanding.
Chick Young: Is McGeady good enough to play in the English Premier League?
Wenger: Of course. But why do you want your best player to leave Scotland?
excellent performance. about time he bit the bullet and moved to the premiership.
Translation "They try hard, but they stink."Quote:

It really is. His career will just stagnate up there, and he has given enough to them. Bayern were interested last season, that would have been a fantastic move for him.Quote:

mcgeady got the highest pass completion % out of both teams on the night..himself and that new centre mid were the only real shining lights donati was brutal
Yeah, Donati was useless. It woudl be easier to pick players that did OK than ones that were way off their games.Quote:

Id definately have McGeady ahead of Nani, or Park too for that matter... or at other clubs Id have him ahead of Kalou, Benyoun,Kuyt,Riera,Babel,Eboue,and probably ahead of WalcottQuote:

yeah it definetely sounds like he wants to get one or the other, id say he'd prefer brown but wont pay the price celtic are after. don't want to see either leave, but it would be good to see how mcgeady would fair out at a better-than-average EPL team i supposeQuote:

Would only do him good I believe. I don't see him progressing much at Celtic. He's stagnated there over the years and would have been far better getting out while still young like McCarthy imo. He's not that young anymore.Quote:

Saying that, it's spurs so that kind of logic goes out the window what with the ganzee load of full backs purchased over the last couple of years.
Lennon and Modric are 1st choice on thw wings so McGeady would be starting on the bench
McGeady is just an outstanding player for Celtic. Does his best for Ireland but you have to take into account what he has to work with. There are a lot of players on the Irish team at present that are just not up to the Job at the moment.
Jay I agree but surely the same can be said about the Celtic players. In fact if pushed I'd say that even the Ireland team has more quality in it than the Celtic one. The problem with McGeady when playing for Ireland I believe is that for the most part he's up against far better opposition and we don't dominate games anywhere near as much as Celitc do on an average weekend.Quote:

Tottenham are weighing up moves for Celtic midfield pair Scott Brown and Aiden McGeady, with the Parkhead club valuing them at a total of £10m.
