    Manager alluded to a few incidents but seems there was some bust up.

    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.

    They’re different players.
    McClean is an absolute workhorse who will track back all day.

    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.

    Well. It was in front of all the travelling Irish fans who were waiting to leave. So public in that sense

    Gotcha. So it was after a match then?
    Interesting. Certainly seems a more forceful character than I thought he was

    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.

    He was immense in the Russia away match, and many others. He also held the ball up well.

    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.

    For all his “ Talent “ he couldn’t cross a ball to save his life and he gave the ball away like a Toddler with a roasting hot potato = very frustrating player because of that, and pretty much all of the fans are not wrong ! !

    He was immense in his work rate against Russia, I remember. His final ball was very disappointing, often failing to beat the first man. Also, often tried a trick when there was no need. Hell of a talent on his day though.

    Also very good against Germany in Gelsinkirchen which I don't think he gets credit for.
