more rumours today that Zenit are prepared to offer Ł20 million for McGeady!
Paul Lennon in the star says 30m, but the Zenit chairman has confirmed no offers have been made. The transfer window is open for another two weeks or so in Russia.
Not a bad bit of business for Spartak Moscow! Fair play to them.
The Mirror and the Record are the 2 papers which carried the rumour.
Surprisingly, the Mirror has a 30% accuracy rate with their Zenit related rumours, 7 right out of 30.
I presume they got one right, which happened to be reported 7 times.
Maths not your strong point?Quote:

That would be the Record's rumour replacement strategy. As soon as one rumour runs out of steam, replace it with another.
Playing VS Ajax at the moment on ESPN
McGeady doing OK first half. Ajax in control of game but look a little lightweight up front so far. Commentators saying that Juventus are reportedly interested in signing McGeady.
Spartak 1-0 up and a great goal from Alex. Lovely run off the ball by McGeady to open up some space.
ESPN commentators on McGeady: "He's been the best player by far. Has a great mentality. Knows when to keep it simple, when to hold the ball"
They're dead right too, best game I've seen him play, perhaps ever. One bad touch, but apart from that has been excellent.
I know Trap has mentioned Irish players moving to Italy but surely Russia is the place to go with the high profile of McGeady. Doyle could slot easily into this Spartak team (and any other top Russia team)and probably on double the wages he is on at Wolves and European football. Spartak have a top, top keeper so Shay will have to move to Zenit.

Sure haven't I been saying it for ages now? :-)Quote:

Never thought about it until now but Spartak must be one of the most fancied teams to get to the final.
Didn't see the game but Sky Sports had him as the middle guy in a 4-5-1. Was that where he played or out wide?
Great to hear he is in good form.
