    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


    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.
    606: DEBATE
    [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.

    I was just thinking that, he'd be well suited to Spain. The Premier League (not premiership anymore :P) isn't the be all and end all, and somewhere like Spain could be better suited to his abilities.

    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.

    A very fine achivement, but he does need to move out of Scotland to get to the next level.

    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.

    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.

    Actually, Spurs are level on points with Newcastle who most people would agree have had an abysmal season

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

    Thats just a idiotic post. Ya thats what I meant............. Reading last year was always going to be a one off as they don't have the players or the income to maintain that high level. 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.

    To be honest, I shouldn't respond to your "well thought out" post but since you obviously know nothing about football, I thought I'd try to give you a bit of info

    I love this comment from McGeady:
    "I am glad I managed to climb out of Nacho Novo's pocket twice to win both awards."

    Is Nacho Novo the BFG?

    Just in case anyone doesn't know what he's talking about... McGeady and Novo had a bit of a fight after the match last week. Novo said this afterwards:

    "I don't know what happened there. I had him in my back pocket probably. But I didn't tell him that!"

    What an idiotic post

    Since the start of the league Aston Villa have picked up 3969 points in the top flight to Tottenhams 3066

    Since the start of the premierhip Aston Villa have picked up 825 points to Tottenhams 770.

    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.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    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.

    Villa would be a bad move for him though, no point of him leaving Celtic to sit on the bench.
