McGeady Hands In Transfer Request

BREAKING NEWS!!

Aiden McGeady hands in transfer request at Everton and social media goes into meltdown over a return to Celtic.

Correct me if I’m wrong but is this not the exact situation as Gary Hooper?

Now I have been slated for saying I would have Hooper back but people want McGeady? Surely he turned his back on us the same as Gaz?

Not only that but he also turned his back on Scotland. McGeady then went to Russia for money. Guaranteed.

He’s not the player he once was. He’s trying to rekindle form which he lost years ago. Didn’t manage to do it at Everton so how will he manage to do it at Parkhead?

Another lazy trainer so not ideal for Ronnys plan. Who would you drop for him? GMS? Personally he wouldn’t get into my first 11.

Then there’s a mention of wages. The amount of money he was getting before we probably won’t be able to match it and I don’t see him coming in as one of he biggest earners at the club.

Maybe I shall see how it goes on another Twitter poll?

Have people still not grasped that Hibbert is our senior right back cover? Hibbert. Byram will be brought in as cover, not a replacement.

I'd let Mcgeady go happily if we replace him with Lennon. We won't squeeze Celtic much but either way we'll make a profit on him.

Sell him for 4-5M and sign Lennon for equal price. That would be a very good piece of business.

Is there anything official about Mcgeady or is it speculation at this point?

This wont be popular but I rate McGeady more then Lennon. Initially came in mid year and completely lacked match fitness. Last season he had a terrible run with injuries which prevented him from finding form.

Besides I can't see Martinez selling McGeady when Osman and Pienaar are on their last legs. McGeady is a Martinez buy, will get given an opportunity to prove himself.

McGeady was picked up for relatively nothing and given a chance. I don't think the fact that he's a Martinez signing matters.

If McGreedy goes back to Celtic I would hope we try and get a deal for their centre back Van Dijk

I cannot fathom how so many posters can continually miss the point of this thread......it´s unfathomable. I tried to fathom it but the display on my fathometer said "unfathomable".

Enough guff rumours to fill a decade of a tabloid rumour mill. Crap discussions of side issues that should be in the players thread. People be stupid yo.

It's speculation. Hence it probably belongs in the other thread.

No I agree, if we're going to get serious, then we'd need a credible link, not just 'me mate off Twitter saw John Merro's uncle in Tesco' stuff.

An actual bona fide thing would be nice and solid.

I'd personally like to see McGeady move on and Lennon move in (though not at the expense of losing Mirallas), however that's probably still all speculation, so until then...

I think that would be best all round, it depends if the clubs can come to an agreement over the valuation of the two players though. I think that might be difficult
