the aiden mcgeady & spartak thread..

'Yous',you not want him back then?

 

I wouldn't particularly say I actively wanted him back no, but I'd take him back - on the cheap of course.

 

Well this is the last year of his current contract with Spartak Moscow so who knows this is a deal that I could actually see happening.

 

Spartak to play a couple of games behind closed doors after fans rioted away at Yaroslav Shinnik. *.

 

Russia is a horrible place to play football, I don't know why players go there other than money.

 

They don't go there for any reason except money.

 

He would demand around 40k a week. We can't afford that.

 

Considering the *'s killed millions of Russians i don't understand why they would carry that flag it makes no sense.

 

It doesn't make sense for any * to fly that flag.

 

Russian fans

 

McGeady making his intentions very clear in an interview with The Guardian.

Would like to see him back in Britain. Genuinely exciting, often infuriating, football player.

 

£75k a week? fucksake he's done well for himself.

 

He's never a £30k a week player, far less a £75k one!

This is the absolute nonsense that comes with playing in overseas inflated markets!

 

I don't think anyone at our club is currently earning that much, but they're not far off it. Do you think if he came back he wouldn't deserve to be a top earner?

And 'inflated' just means outside Scotland. Top players are paid like this pretty much everywhere in Europe.

 

£30 k a week? He's definitely worth more than that.

 

I don't know how he managed to go from earning £20k-£25k a week at Celtic, to then earning £75k a week at Spartak Moscow. That is some agent he has.

This will put so many clubs off - especially Everton. Had a peak on their forum and none of them think he would be worth it, considering they would have to pay extortionate wages, which they believed to be....£50k a week.

 

He's getting £40k/week tax free over there which is roughly equivalent to £75k/week here

 

That makes more sense. :smiley-laughing002:

 

No. I don't think he would deserve to be a top earner at our club.

I've said before in other threads that I don't think he has improved since he left us. He's still the same frustrating player! So given that I wasn't overly impressed with him during his time here, then I wouldn't want him back on his old wage... far less a stupidly high one!

 

I don't know if Lennon would ever go in for Mcgeady. I remember them having a silly bust up against Dunfermline a few year ago, but it was mostly hand bags.

There's no denying that Mcgeady is a talented one-off type of player. I think in this current team, under Lennon he'd be excellent - I don't think he had the same quality around him previously or that we got the best out of him when he was here.
