To all those giving out about Aiden mcgeady, what the **** is wrong with you!? Is it his name? Is that the problem? I mean bloody hell, if any of you moanbags saw those mcgeady vids on YouTube but instead he was some Brazilian bloke called LUIS RIVALDINHIO this forum would be exploding with excitement!

I mean, who do you actually want then!? Will we buy deulofeu? Of course not! I love Everton and all but reality check baby! We're not Barcelona or even in the same bracket! Maybe one day we will be but not now! Mcgeady would be an exceptional signing for us, maybe not for barca, real madrid or juventus (altho he would be decent!) but for us he'd be awesome! So get off your deluded everton painted unicorns in planet evertonia where we can afford to buy messi for the craic, and realise what a brilliant signing this would be to get us into the champions league and genuinely move us forward as a club!

I'm an Evertonian who now lives in Russia, watches the Russian league and has seen him playing many times for Spartak mate, and he is not good enough.

What's your problem, i am guessing here that YOU do not watch the Russian league and your knowledge of McGeady is a lot less than mine is, but fair play to ya, you seem to have watched some video's of him on youtube so obviously he must be a great signing for us lid.

If you honestly think McGeady is a brilliant signing and push us into the champions league then your deluded, as for saying McGeady would be a decent signing for Barca, Juve or real Madrid... lost for words mate at that, Your either a family member of him, have his name tattooed on ya arse or have never seen him play outside of 3 minute montages of him skinning people on youtube - videos that obviously dont show him subsequently skying the ball or going back to beat the same man again and losing it...

Wow....just wow!!

I've softened to the idea of bringing McGeady in, didn't want him whatsoever. However that was not because I expected messi or ronaldo coming in, it was due to the stick McGeady has had over the years for his lack of end product. You tube skill vids mean nothing mate, sure if someone posted a you tube Fail vid of his weaknesses no body would want him or many other players.

He will not be the single person to come in and make us get CL football what a ridiculous statement. However as were now pretty damm boss and 80% of teams park the bus against us, seeing what Deleufoe has been able to do from the bench, McGeady could well make a usefull impact sub. Better than Naismith anyway!!

You do not pay impact subs 50k+ a week on 4 year contracts, which is what I assume he will be on if he signs, since we know he's on 75k a week at Spartak.

Heitinga mk2, in 12 months time after he's started about 10 games in total ,we will be wondering how to offload him to reduce the wage bill but no one will pay a transfer fee or pick up his wages.

What we need now is bodies in the squad and whether he is any good or not McGeady will be a good signing for us for the price (or lack of) quoted around. For all the faults he may have;

Is he a better winger than Naismith?
Is he faster than Pienarr?
Can he make an impact off the bench?

If you answer yes to any of the above then he is worth signing. Granted in my opinion he is not the calibre of player i would like us to be signing BUT right now i care more about bulking the squad out to cope with the remaining games plus all the F.A cup games on top of them.

Worst case scenario is that he is no better in the team than Naismith, so only scoring important goals it will be for him then.

He is much lazier than naismith, switches off and is crap in the air mate, better at beating people, end product and passing about the same, neither good enough for us
He is well faster than pinnear, not as good at interplay with the people around him though and his movement is no where near as good, and he doesnt track back, pinnear although not imo good enough to be a starter is a much better player
Can he make an impact off the bench... hard one to answer, will he beat people with pace, yes he will, will anything come as a result of him beating people... likely not

Factor in we will have to get him on a free likely pay a small fee/signing fee and his wages will be amonst the best at the club, even taking a pay-cut he would be on starter money, for someone who is in the naismith bracket in what they offer i'd say we can do better elsewhere

I'm totally against him signing mate, if he does i will support him like anyone who signs for us unless he does something to disrespect the club etc

Problem is a fast player like McGeady is a better player on the counter, currently we are pushing teams back and delefou was a great option due to his trickery cutting into the box and the fact he shot on sight, McGeady is much more of a by line winger in that regard, be better served finding someone who can thread a pass or smash one in from 20y
 
Remember how nobody wanted ..

Gibson
McCarthy
Alcaraz



Can't believe some of the bollox written in this thread..... If he signs he will get my full support and a fair chance.... Same as any other player who pulls on the shirt.
 
Don't think it's worth a risk due to length of contract plus wages for a player who may not be a regular contributor week in week out.

Sherwood said he's not looking to buy in the transfer window due to length of contracts of players and we need to be very wary of this - look at Saha and Heitinga even VDM fell into that category. And add to that of course Kone and Jelavic.

We'd be better off with Donovan on a short term loan at least we know he can do a job.

I supported the McCarthy signing and the Alcaraz ones mate, Gibson i hadn't seen enough off to fully have a firm opinion on at the time we signed him and Utd squad players from the ferguson era where always hard to evaluate as they slotted into a very well oiled machine.

Apparently its a bad thing though to post a negative 'informed' opinion about a signing who incidentally we have only been linked to via the red tops

If you read any post i've made criticizing him you will see i have always stated that if we do sign him i will support him, it's just my personal hope we never do sign the lid as he is not sufficient caliber
 

He's got a special move named after him ffs. For that reason alone I'm in.

But it's yet another so-so player who will eat up the wages of a so-so player we are or have offloaded in Heitinga.
Also, using the "Yeah but people said this about Gibson, McCarthy and him and him and him" as a defence isn't going to work every time because it just means at some point we will be right about him being crap.
 
Written off already,as was McCarthy,Alcaraz,Martinez,Gibson,Barry etc.
If Martinez signs him then that's good enough for me, as he appears to be a better judge of a player than any of the so called experts posting on this forum.
 
As a Bolue who's watched plenty of him on Russian TV while here in Ukraine, it's a big, fat firm nyet from me. He's garbage.
