McGeady's name goes on the Transfer List

 Comments (40)  jump
Clubcall are continuing to push a link with Aiden McGeady, claiming that Spartak Moscow's decision to put the Irish winger on the transfer list will 'boost' Everton's interest in the player.

McGeady has said previously: "I have ambitions to play in England and have made it clear I won't be signing a new contract."

Clubcall claim that Roberto Martinez has made the Republic of Ireland international a top target as he continues to try and bolster his squad at Goodison Park. The former Celtic man is out of contract next year and Spartak will be looking to move him on this summer to ensure they get value for money.

Don't want him

I think we should give this one a miss. I have seen him play a few times and is nothing special. Let him go back to Scotland and take Naismith with him.

Mcgeady, Cleverley, Suarez, Bent etc.....just aren't good enough for us IMO.

He's on the transfer list... Good — Let him stay there. I thought we just signed a wonderkid from Barca?

This is yet another example of what lazy sports journos do over the summer: make up stories to keep us amused and themselves in a job.

Andrew, I wouldn't have Hannibal Suarez even on a free. What a horrible little being he is.

I'm a sucker for players who can beat people, I played when good players were those who could go past people - you ended up a defender otherwise.

From what I've seen (admittedly not a lot) I'd have him cos he can beat people you just can't have too many "footballers".

It's no coincidence internationally the best team has been Brazil and latterly Spain - there is no substitute for ability.

It's funny, whenever Aidan McGeady's associated with Everton, 99.9% of TWers don't want him! I hope Roberto reads these threads (not that he would). I don't see anything wrong with this tosser being linked to Merseyside.... as long as it is with Liverpool FC!

No thanks. Not good enough for this club.

Can't say I've ever taken too much note of this lad.

Apart from Barry, these posts are quite scary. Is he another McManaman?

Sounds like the Ruskies can't get shut of him quick enough.

Barry (793), I agree with you that McGeady can beat people however once he has beaten a player he then does it again and again and again until he eventually looses the ball. There is no end product with this guy!
Jeremy Benson
807 Posted 11/07/2013 at 18:04:53
I'm sure I've heard this before. Sounds like a scottish rooney....
James Marshall
812 Posted 11/07/2013 at 18:08:15
Nobody seems to rate him. I suspect there's a very good reason he's been playing in Russia and nobody in England has ever taken a punt on him.

That reason is clearly that he's not very good.

James Marshall
813 Posted 11/07/2013 at 18:10:39
Oh and Jeremy, Scottish Rooney? McGeady is Irish.
Jeremy Benson

James - I know. I was trying to make a McFadden link. Never mind.
Colin Wainwright
816 Posted 11/07/2013 at 18:16:37
Beat me too it James. I disagree though, in that the lad has ability, can go past people and is always liable to be taken out by a lump of a defender. I think he has been viewed as a bit of a luxury, in the past but he's older now and as Barry said earlier in the thread, I never tire of seeing an Everton player ghost past someone. Might be worth a shout, depends how much?
Barry Rathbone
818 Posted 11/07/2013 at 18:15:06
Larry, Martinez has polished rough diamonds before - Nzogbia and Mcmanaman at their respective clubs (Newcastle and Everton) where going nowhere.

If the lad has ability I reckon Martinez could be the man to develop it fully.

How many wingers do we need? Get us a central midfield playmaker instead....
Barry Rathbone

Peter, who could of imagined such a question in the last 11 years?

Just spine tingling the prospects.

Really not sure about McGeady, his pace and skill could be useful but his final ball and attitude are a massive let down.
Shane Corcoran
832 Posted 11/07/2013 at 19:37:33
Phil, what's wrong with his attitude?

And Derek, what's wrong with you? Why is he a tosser?

Shane Corcoran
833 Posted 11/07/2013 at 19:39:24
SS have that Milan have agreed to sign Honda when his contract expires. Tosser.
Colin Wainwright

He's got the look of Alex Young about him..........not that that means fuckin' anything at all.

Don't want him or need him.

Shane the type of attitude that isn't needed here really.

String him up Phil. Fist thing I've ever heard him react to and you can be sure he put up with some amount of shite in Scotland.
His work-rate is top class, which is what I thought you were referring to.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........... i'm getting bored of us being linked to this substandard player, I like my wingers to have a bit of end product..... I don't want another Kevin Kilbane
Phil Davies
845 Posted 11/07/2013 at 20:08:08
He was sent off for pushing another player, tried to have an argument with the crowd, kicked a microphone and then repeatedly smashed a dressing room door and then blamed the Russian media saying they put a negative spin on things. He comes across as the type of player that if you can get in his head and wind him up he'll kick off.
Shane Corcoran
855 Posted 11/07/2013 at 20:58:12
Maybe, or maybe getting sent off for pushing a player is a joke, maybe he said fuck all to the crowd and who gives a fuck what he did to the door. Big Dunc did far worse and not in an isolated incident.
For what it's worth I don't think he's good enough. But I've watched him many many times for Ireland and Celtic and his attitude was never in question.

'I'm a sucker for players who can beat people'

Barry R. - That fellow, a scouser, used to play for the barcodes, then went to QPR before being shunted off to France somewhere - can't remember his name - beats me!

Now he knew how to beat people - black and blue apparently!!! The twat!!

Don't see it, why would we bring the Spanish lad in, also allegedly in for Moses and then bring him on board, we are also well covered on the left side with Mirallas and Pienaar. he's going to end up somewhere like Crystal Palace or Stoke.
Harold Matthews
898 Posted 12/07/2013 at 02:04:24
He doesn't sound too hot, even though he was transferred out of Scotland for a hefty fee.

Does he play like Macmanaman did against us? Scorching pace with everyone chasing thin air.

Strange business.

His biggest problem is consistency. On his day, he cn actually be quite good, but for the fee and wages is a luxury Everton can't afford.

McGeady reminds me of Kevin Kilbane. No class - lots of enthusiasm.

To be fair he IS Scottish

"L'Everton sorpassa il Liverpool per Jorginho".

Who is this Jorginho guy we are after? On youtube he comes across as a bit lightweight. Can he defend?

Why should we even be considering this guy? We have enough players in his position. Makes more sense going for a CM.
Al Philby
969 Posted 12/07/2013 at 12:28:37
Ingi Eyjolfz, we are not considering him. Do you believe everything that you hear in the news?
