Aiden Mcgeady

Just compared him with McGeady on squawka and they very similar across dozens of stats(Mcgeady beating him in most parts). Tried to chat about it on the mag board but Albert went straight into arsehole mode. Complete social ****** as ever.
Albert's father must be wishing he kept his cock in his pants when he sired that prick.

I'd expect McGeady to have better stats. He is probably a better player (and he should be). I suspect the price is reflected in contract duration left and the fact Everton wanted rid of McGeady and Norwich wanted to keep Murphy. Regardless, you certainly did get a cracking deal. Let's see if he turns out for you.

Ah, but would we have got him for that price had we stayed up? I think closer tot he the 5-6 million originally mentioned
 
The bloke won't last the season is my bet.

You may well be correct, I'm not expecting a pretty season. I'm clinging on to the hope that many people thought he would walk when we went down and then said he wouldn't last the season last year too; it does seem to be a constant media clamor for him to 'walk out'.

As things stand we go down. I think we'll make a better fist of it than you guys did but that the net result is the same. If we get a reliable striker and a solid CM then we have a chance. Maybe. Probably not actually. Oh well.

I think the lack of suitors as well as everything I said above is what kept the price down and not what league you happen to be in. I'm only guessing though. Regardless of fee, you've got yourself a decent player.

We can but hope however unless things turn around (they may well do) we are in serious danger.

Don't believe that for a second we'd have got him for that price had we stayed up personally.

Just supply and demand. Look at what Everton are doing, there's no way McGeady was getting near that team (not a slight on the player, I'm pretty sure none of ours would get near it either) so they want to get him off the wage bill. Murphy was someone who a few clubs were reportedly sniffing around and Norwich would happily have kept him so we end up having to pay a premium if we want him. Shows how the market has altered, we paid about the same for Townsend 18 months ago and he had Premiership and England experience.

Of course you'll make a better fist than what we did. We was relagated in August when moyes said what he said and not signing players what wanted to come here.

I think you will struggle like hell but that could change tho. You may start signing some decent players.
