He needs to sign for a top team, none of the Newcastles or Middlesboroughs or Villa's. Maybe Spurs or a top four team, but realistically hes gotta look for a bigger club whos playing champs league!

i don't think he'll get to a top four club in England except perhaps Liverpool. I'd like to see him go to a decent side in Spain or Italy.
McGeady wins Player of Year award
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...cgeady203b.gif McGeady has been in fine form for Celtic this season
Celtic's Aiden McGeady has been voted both Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year by his fellow Scottish professionals.
The midfielder, 22, was awarded the first honour ahead of his team-mates Scott McDonald and Barry Robson, as well as Carlos Cuellar of Rangers.
Hamilton Accies manager Billy Reid was awarded the Manager fo the Year.
There was also a Scottish Football Special Merit award for the late Motherwell captain Phil O'Donnell.

[COLOR=#0000ff]Have your say on this story[/COLOR]
McGeady is the first player to win both awards in a single season since former team-mate Shaun Maloney in 2006.
"Obviously I am delighted. I've got to give thanks to the players who voted for me," he said.
"I think my game's come on an awful lot with the help of the coaching staff and the players I'm playing with, but I think the main thing is consistency."
The Republic of Ireland international played a key part in Celtic's European and domestic campaign this season. McGeady scored his first Champions League goal earlier this season, the only goal in the 1-0 win over Benfica in November. The 16-times capped midfielder has also scored eight goals in the Scottish Premier League as well as providing countless assists.

True enough,he would probably flourish more over there, he would most likely turn out another "could have been" in the prem, his style would prob be more suited in spain.Quote:

Fair play to him, hes deserved it.
Next challenge for him is to do it regularly for Ireland and he doesnt necessarily have to move from Celtic to do it.
well done to the lad. Just bring your A game to our matches now!!!
anything other than his z game hes brought so far would be an improvement
ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :rolleyes:Quote:

I don't see how Spurs could be rated a better prospect than Villa. Just had a look at the Premier league there, Villa are 16 points ahead of Spurs. Granted, Spurs have a good manager in Ramos and will probably buy in the summer but I'd still back Villa to finish ahead of Spurs next year with O'Neill at the helm and cash available to him too.Quote:

So by your logic if he moved last season you would have preferred him going to Reading as opposed to Aston Villa?Quote:

Just like Ipswich a few years back when they finished fourth. Villa, on the other hand, have a major financial backer as well as the support and structure to consistently finish in the top 6. Add to that a top class manager like O'Neill and excellent young players such as Gardner, Young and Agbonlahor and you've got a pretty strong foundation for success.Quote:

I love this comment from McGeady:
"I am glad I managed to climb out of Nacho Novo's pocket twice to win both awards."
:D
Is Nacho Novo the BFG? :)Quote:

What an idiotic postQuote:

Aston Villa have won
1 x European Cup
7 x League titles
7 x FA cups
5 x League Cups
Spurs have won
2 x League titles
2 x Uefa Cup
8 x FA cup
4 x League Cup
Villa Park holds 42,640
White Hart Lane holds 36,310
Aston Villa are also founder members of the league.
What those stats mean on their own is debatable, but added together they mean that to suggest Aston Villa are somehow a lower ranking club than Spurs is nonsense. They have been more successful throughout the years, and in recent history by most if not all measures.
Their current team is also easily out performing Spurs in the EPL, and would be a great move for any of our players who can get a game there, as they have been in the past for McGrath, Staunton, Houghton, Townsend et al
i have to say, i believe Aston Villa to be a no-mark club and the graveyard of ambition. Id much rather see him move to Spurs.
Spurs got off to a very poor start under Jol. Ramos has turned things round and would probably be comfortably in the top half if you took the table from when he took over.Quote:
