A player that never really improved from the level he was at 8/9 years ago. Was it lack of effort or is it that he was unable(unlikely) to improve.
If premiership clubs had believed he was good enough back in the day they would have come in for him. Its not like they were short of the kind of money that he would have cost. Martinez must be disappointed with McGeady. I certainly would be if I signed a player and he has performed as McGeady has.
didn't wigan look to sign him when they were in the premier lge and Martinez was manager?Originally Posted by seanfhear
Birmingham were constantly linked with him also when they were in the PL.
In his day as Celtic Manager, Strachan had silky Nakamura, dribbly wingers Maloney and McGeady, front men big JVH, Zurawski / McDonald all at his disposal and still managed with negative tactics and team selections to make Celtic play almost universally despised, turgid football. What Delia wouldn't give to have just one, a McGeady, albeit in an unknown condition, at his disposal.
Considering the Celtic's board, self destructive cost cutting history, there would be no chance of McGeady going there if his salary was not subsided the way the 2 Keanes were.
Neither were in the squad tonight anyway, himself or Gibson. Coleman went off injured late on too when Everton had all their subs used, didn't look very serious though but hard to know. Besic was the best player on the pitch, Mac might be looking for a loan move too
"Ex Everton Irish" will soon be a more apt name for the thread, claim many on here.
No Somos muchos pero estamos locos.
Gibson starts against Dagenham & Redbridge. McGeady not in squad, hopefully that means a loan move is almost sorted?!
Still unlikely to budge those ahead of him though and game time likely to be limited. Hopefully they'll get another good cup run though that he can be involved in if he stays.
Coleman & McCarthy back in training. Everton are hoping to have them available for the 2nd leg against Manchester City today week.
Coleman came on for Everton in their 2-1 defeat to Swansea. He missed two very good chances, one an absolute sitter actually with the last kick of the game. Besic went off injured very early so they could really do with McCarthy back for their semi final on Wednesday, Cleverley just doesn't cut it. McCarthy wasn't even in today's squad though.
Poor Seamie. Gutted for him. Two great chances on his return. Everton have to be one of the most frustrating teams to follow - thrown away so many wins this season. Poison at the back and, in fairness, I criticized Coleman a little a few weeks back - they were as bad defensively without him during that spell.
"As bad" is charitable. Swansea spent the whole game targeting Oviedo and Stones and it won them the game.
I think Jagielka and McCarthy are huge losses from a defensive point of view. Jagielka can be suspect at times but he's their organiser and leader. McCarthy adds a bit of everything to that midfield, organisation, positional sense, pace and aggression.
You must have taken some consolation in witnessing the perfect Darwin penalty being executed with such casual, understated aplomb.
It was fantastic! He seems to have a great record, had scored his last five before that anyway according to the graphic on Sky Sports as he was lining it up.
Poor Seamie
I saw it live. At least next time he's in that situation he ought to remember it and keep it down.
If he had kept it down it might have been blocked by Fabianski, but that'd have been a better outcome.
I liked Lukaku's reaction.
He was a 95th minute missed sitter waiting to happen.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
