Aiden McGeady

Calls McCarthy mediocre then wants Shane Long here. Hahahahaha

I think Shane Long would be a decent Squad player, better than Naismith.

He also looks permanently unfit, overweight and can't last a full game. Within two years of retiring ( hopefully soon ) he'll be the same size as Southall. Get rid asap.

Think I might be Aiden McGeady....

Man I hate the fella. Literally stealing a living. He isn't a footballer.

He put a decent ball in last night but imo both him and McCarthy are mediocre players who I would be happy to see replaced. The only Irish player other than Coleman who I would like at Everton is Shane Long.

Mate?

Or ours for that matter

MATE?!?!?!?!

Personally I wouldn't have Long in our squad but "ALL of your strikers EVER"?
Robbie Keane (in his prime)?
Frank Stapleton?
John Aldridge (pardon me for swearing)?
Niall Quinn (a lot more skillful than people give him credit for)?

Shane Long though hahaha.

No-ones had a shout about buying Brady yet which is usually a good indicator but it's a definite possibility

He got 30mins for Ireland last night and was his usual frustrating headless chicken. He did create Ireland's best chance by beating his man and getting a good cross in but other than that all he did was a few stepovers and put the ball behind in the dying moments when we had numbers in the box.

Yep, he got 30 minutes and in that time had the ball passed to him about 3 times (for some reason everything was going down the left into a dead end). So, basically with hardly any service he created Ireland's only clear cut chance for the night - if a decent forward was on the end of it then it would have been 2-2. BTW, all the crosses from the left were straight to the GK.
He may not be consistent or fit but he has the ability to create something from nothing. That is not easy to find and if used wisely (eg off the bench to try and unlock a defensive team) then it can be valuable.

The vaults aren't kind on me and Shane Long.
That withstanding he wouldn't improve us.
