He signed a new contract with Sunderland to remain in League One so can’t imagine its that.Quote:

He’s their best player so it’s obviously not his football. Sounds like a serious clash with manager.
I remember him having a pop at Chris Coleman in the Sunderland docu about him not managing Lewis Grabban properly.
Definitely cam across as a team player though and wanting to see Sunderland succeed
What if he tears it up in the championship before March.
Does Mick call him up?
Presumably he'll have a look in person if that's the case and consider whether it's worth it in the short and long term. It's literally his job to make those decisions in an informed and effective way.
Can't see it... although I'd like to see it.
Can’t see it eitherQuote:

McGeady could be a handful for any defence when he’s on form. Which is sporadic.
McCarthy was a CB. So I’d say he’s a McClean loyalist
Is Aiden a bit of a Roy Keane?
Makes me think he may have been spurred on by Keane’s comments pre Euros 2016

They had a very public falling out. Can’t remember where but McGeady was an unused sub in the first of two qualifiers and they made all the unused players go through an intense workout and McGeady was having none of it.
A great shame Aiden never learned how to cross the ball or stop giving the ball away considering all of his ability. Maybe he was just to arrogant to admit that he had to learn these two basic skills when he was a young player ?
Plenty plonkers in that Sunderland dressing room going by the Sunderland Till I Die Documentary. It is hard to interpret Morgan's words. There is a touch of the Roy Keane in his demand for higher standards. Hard for me to envisage though, given his on-field demeanour and demeanour in interviews. It doesn't take Walter Mitty to imagine Keane in a dressing room.
Maybe the Russian money went to Aiden's head ! !
Mustn’t have been that public. Never heard of it til nowQuote:

Gotcha. So it was after a match then?Quote:

McGeady did immense amounts of tracking back in the Trappatoni days. He put in quite a shift. Trap didn't pick players who didn't track back and McGeady was always one of the first names on the team sheet for Trap.Quote:

McGeady between about 2010 and 2014 was probably one of the best Irish there was. But people don't like him for some reason. Very underrated player at the time.
People notice players who waste possession; whatever their other qualities, they're frustrating to watch because things often end with a groan when they're on the ball. If McGeady had a half decent cross in him, he'd have been a big fan favourite.Quote:
