Unai Emery sacked. Valery Karpin back in. Have a hunch Makigidi might be on the move in January.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Trap used to play Liam Lawrence instead of McGeady due to his defensive weaknesses. However, in the last couple of years, I think he has become a much more defensive minded player, as any winger playing in front of the terrible Stephen Ward would have had to do.
McGeady scores against Rubin Kazan on his first start since returning from injury.

Perhaps the thought of playing for MON or Martinez appeals to Aiden as well as plying his trade in the EPL. However, you'd have to feel he would be fairly underwhelmed by the clubs sniffing around, a Europa League placed side /Top 6 or 7 would surely be where Aiden would be hoping for, if he is to show career progression from his Aprtak move.
He's 27 in April, In his prime now, so next contract/move very important.

Surely Wigan wouldn't be able to afford him. Unless they are planning on offloading a certain Scottish midfielder...
I'd be disappointed in him for going to Wigan or Sunderland, though it is now about money (as Junior noted) plus he is probably worried about falling out of favour in Moscow - this despite Karpin wanting to extend his contract. Spartak are hunting for another attacker and today at training had 2 triallists (from other clubs). They were looking at Bressan but he went to Alania, so now it's down to Aiden if he wants to go, rather, if his "super" agent wants him to go.
The Mail claims it could be a loan move to Wigan rather than a permanent one.

Scottish midfielder, James McArthur?

But the Mail also claims that blind burglars give you cancer if you eat too much budgie on a Tuesday.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Hurrah for the Blackshirts!
While I am reluctant to defend such a rag, they often do get it right, an example being their consistent reports on Sammon's move to Derby. When most on here had thought there was nothing to it, they reported it over a 4 week period and then it happened!
But... for every one of those that are right, there'll be others that are wrong. We don't notice them usually because we don't care.

Lets see if there is any truth in this before the day is out

Sticking point is salary and loan fee (and eventual sale price). Karpin isn't in the office, the head of football is covering it. The club are more concerned with getting the new stadium naming rights over the line. Madness in there today.
I don't understand why they'd sell him for half of what they paid. He maybe hasn't had the best year or so but I'd still have thought he's worth more to them than that.
CD - they won't get back much more unless he was to have accepted the Anzhi offer, but he won't go there. So getting him off the books now, at an apparent loss, saves on salaries, bonuses and also the original figure (almost 10million) included bonuses etc. It's a good deal for Spartak (in a way) as they're looking to save money before the end of the year.
Yeah, they seem to be a bit of a basket case alright. As it happens, I'd be happier to see him at Wigan than Sunderland. Better suits his style of play.
