Aiden McGeady

Oh, that old argument.

Take it you've never criticised a singer, actor, dancer, comedian, TV presenter, athlete etc. in your life?

I have. But I know that it's all relative and they're much better at it than I am. That's the difference with the McGeady criticism.

That player would make absolute tools out of any of his critics on here - people who probably couldn't get on as a sub at school or an ale house team.

So would any professional footballer. Like, any. If you have played against or with even the most lowly ex pro, you will know that.

McGeady was no where near PL level. Not even a little bit.

You can vault the posts you said about Bolasie dave.

Chicken with no head, yes. But I'd never say he wasn't a PL player. My point is that we overpaid for him by about £18m.

What's wrong of saying he is not PL standard and has found his level in the Championship? It is not a mop it is the reality. Players show their qualities on the pitch.

But that isn't being claimed.

And btw, I and anyone else could list a whole team full of Everton players who had no right playing at the top level.

So, what is? Being claimed that is?

Nothing wrong at all mate. So is that the extent of your critique, or if someone were to go through this thread would they find you denigrating the player?

Which is because that's all I have said unless you imagine something out of nowhere.

That he's a good player with technique miles out of the orbit of the people denigrating him and shouldn't be seen to be a failure if he's playing in the Championship.

...apparently it's a massive laugh to be talented but play in the second tier....no, I don't get it either

So you saying in this thread he's worth 50p is you being fair minded is it?

Watching Bristol City for 40 years mate, I have seen plenty of really talented players who, for some reason, were just not quite at Div 1 level. Div 2 level actually, thinking about it.

No crime in finding your level as a sportsman.

I well remember City played Spurs, I think, in a televised semi final. We had a player called Alan Walsh, who, on his day, was brilliant. Brian Moore was commentating, and he said about Walsh, who had a stormer, "Why is he still at this level with Bristol?"

"Because thats all he can do Brian", was the reply from the co commentator.

Think tons of players fit that bill.

Obviously I don't mean 50p more like £500k. It's still better than calling a player headless chick right.

And the truth is no one was willing to pay a fee to take him off our hands as of today so I am not exactly wrong btw.

Surely we all know that, though. Don't think anyone on here actually reckons they're better than McGeady. Unless Conor McAleney still lurks.


Hi Conor x

 

[when i score we riot]

Aiden Mcgeady will gladly go with you to the symphony, will fidget in his seat for the second half of the concert, then koff shortly afterwards to have a nitrous whippet afterparty with his shady mates.

Hi Conor x

Actually?
