I'd find it strange, too, if I had. I've already said I think there are better options. I mean, I literally used those exact words. If I said "why sign some Belgian when we've got a perfectly good albino waiting in the wings" then you might have had a point.

Your exact words were 'I don't want any of them'. But I agree there probably are better options around.

McGeady is Irish lad.
He's also gash.
He's also 27.
He's also uber-gash.
He also wont be coming to Everton.

I don't recken he going to be bringing his targets for wigan to us, different teams, different needs, more money, extra wages, a better brand name.

He's Scottish, he choose to play for Ireland because of his grandmother, he's a good player if he's available for 5 million or less it should be a no brainer.

Why waste 5m on a player who will do nothing to our current crop? Surely we should just use the money elsewhere. With 5m we got Kev, why should we buy a back-up aging midfielder with that sort of money?

As an Irishman myself, he is the one player I would take out of the Ireland team everytime we play, always absolutely useless and anonymous.

Trying to tell someone what nationality they are. Pathetic.

All the people saying 'McGeady is gash, lets get Chadli or Mertens, they're boss' how many times have you actually watched all three play ?

Typical nationality bias coming in here. They're Belgian so they must be ace.

Dutch has told me Mertens isn't as good as he once was. So that has put doubt in my mind. From the little i've seen of Chadli, i'm not impressed.

But i'd still have either of them over McGeady I think.

And they're Belgian.

If he joins I'd expect him to compete with Pienaar for a place, at Celtic he was different class, both Maldini and Puyol said he would go on to be a world beater, not seen a lot of him at Spartak bar a few Champions League games but he's worth a punt imo.
