    McGeady at 2.5 mill wouldn't be a bad signing.

    I was afraid his career would peter out but he seems to have gotten back on track now. I am sure he'd love the idea of playing in this current Celtic team, would suit him down to the ground.

    I would go as far as to say Rodgers would improve him as a player, even at his age. Brown and Gordon have improved this season and they are in their 30's.

    He was never anything more than average.

    Overrated by some on here, had decent spells. 07/08 was a good season for him and when he just broke into the team but other than that - bang average

    At his best he is/was better than average.

    Consistency was always his main problem.

    I always preferred Maloney. Was great for a couple of seasons though but always feel he could've been a bit more professional.

    Have any of his crosses got past the first defender yet?

    Just don't see him as Rogers signing, maybe if he had played under him it might have been a starter.

    If you asked me a year ago I'd have been delighted to have him.

    Now its more of a 'meh'.

    He would only be worthwhile if he was free and asking for 5-10k a week

    He plays on the left anyway, doubt he's happy to come and play back up to Sinclair.

    I know mate, it's a good gauge of how we have moved on as a club.. I wanted Shinnie for a good while, now I honesty want a much better calibre of player.

    Good times.

    We've already got Forrest playing 1 good game in 10, we don't need another one like him.

    Would love him back, still think he is an extremely dangerous player.

    If the deal was right then sure. If it's going to be big wages I would pass.

    I see someone said £2.5m would be good. Not a chance would I pay that for someone who will ultimately play as a back up to Sinclair, unless they were young and likely to develop into a replacement.

    He was definitely not average. Utter drivel

    Done a good turn against Arsenal earlier this season if I remember right. If we could get the level from Aiden that he showed in his last few years at Celtic ( and the price is fairly cheap) I wouldn't be against this. He was a bit frustrating at times though the end product wasn't always there

    Hyperbole. McGeady was never extremely dangerous. No end product.
    Consign to the dustbin of football history.

    8 goals and 9 assists this season for an average Preston side suggests otherwise.
