I think Bonaventura from Milan would be a good signing. Can play on the left or centrally, very good at set pieces, very quick, superb hold-up play, great passer, and he's a very hard worker. Quality player.
 
You think that he'd take a wage cut to play regular football (especially with Euros this year) at a club that has some meaning to him personally.

You'd think he would want to play for the country that educated him and provided him with healthcare.

That boy is a traitor, he would probably sell our tactics for a few quid given a chance.
 
In the Daily Record article about Celtic not being able to afford McGeady's wages it says that there are Championship clubs interested in him:

Everton slam door on Celtic bid to bring back Aiden McGeady by refusing to subsidise potential loan move

CELTIC are unable to afford the Republic of Ireland international's wages and the Toffees have refused to pay anything towards them.

Aiden McGeady in action for Everton against West Ham
EVERTON have slammed the door on Celtic’s hopes of landing Aiden McGeady by insisting they will not subsidise any loan move.

Goodison boss Roberto Martinez will allow McGeady to move on this month alongwith Scotland striker Steven Naismith and Irish midfielder Darron Gibson.

Norwich are leading the chase for Naismith and are prepared to bid around £8.5million to land their man but it’s not yet clear if the player wants to commit himself to a battle for Premier League survival.

McGeady, though, is determined to move on in order to protect his place in the Republic of Ireland’s plans for next summer’s European Championships and Martinez believes the Hoops are interested in offering him first-team football back at his old stomping ground.

McGeady came through the ranks at Parkhead and spent nine years there before joining Spartak Moscow for £9.5m in 2010.

It’s believed the winger would relish the chance of a return to his first club but McGeady had been hoping that Everton might smooth his passage home by agreeing to cover a percentage of his pay packet, which is thought to be in excess of £50,000-a-week. (!!!!!!)

However, Martinez has now made it clear that no such compromise package will be agreed and has told the 29-year-old’s advisers to find a club which is willing and able to foot the entire bill from now until the end of the season.

Aiden McGeady during his Celtic pomp
A source on Merseyside told Record Sport last night: “Martinez knows that Celtic will not be in a position to pay that kind of money so it’s up to Aiden to find another option.

“At this stage there is interest in him from a number of clubs in the English Championship but there has been no contact with any other Premier League clubs.

“It’s a shame because the idea of going back to Glasgow for six months rather than stepping down a league in England probably appeals to Aiden and his representatives.

“But Everton have made it clear they will not budge.

“So unless Celtic are prepared to really push the boat out it looks like Aiden will be staying down south for the time being.”
 
yes they might not be good enough but when the first choices are knackered and need a game off, the sqaud players are there to do a job, especially as they are experienced. Once you remove all the experienced players are gone, the club have never bought players en masse before so how do we replace them all?

More to the point, in the scenario where barry is banned, mcCarthy injured, barkley injured, who plays central midfield if we have no osman or gibson, or naismith?

Besic and Cleverley, incidentally the two who could start there tonight
