    id say maloney, as he has more of an end product compared to mcgeady. mcgeadys a gd player, but he runs, dribbles and loses the ball too much, where as maloney always looks for a pass to make. i think overall he is the better player.

    Maloney is a much better player. He scores more goals and has more end product. I was at Hampden the other night and that was the worst McGeady performance I've seen.

    I've thought about this one quite a bit in my time and to be honest there isn't a lot in it. Maloney is more of a goal threat than Aiden but I'd say Aiden would create more goals for you over a season than Maloney would. Horses for courses, some games we will need Maloney and in other games McGeady would be the better option.

    If I really had to be put on the spot and choose then I'd say........Maloney. But only JUST! HAIL HAIL

    it's great to have the option of who to play.
    I like them both and I think both do a great job when they are playing.
    I think there is room for both players in the same team. Maloney can play in the middle and McGeady can play on the right.

    We should never have let Maloney back.

    We should sell McGeady at the right price. Though who would pay it ?

    Simple.

    Sounds good on paper but might be a bit lightweight in practice.

    Maloney, because of better end product, and he's not conceited like Aiden is.

    There is plenty of McGeady voters with little reason on this thread.

    Maloney is a better footballer by a mile. Aidan is a fancy dribbler with pace but the percentage of his crosses that find a man is tiny, he rarely scores, his shooting is poor, his picking of the moment to release the ball is poor, his decision making is poor and his goal scoring is far too rare. Maloney is miles better at all these things than Aidan.

    Put it this way, when both are fit and so is Naka, WGS almost always picks Maloney. Thats because he knows something about football.
