No_Problemo Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Another important thing to remember is that any time McGeady is discussed by former teammates etc, they always speak about high his standards are - something that should be good for us. Saying all this, I would prefer him in the 10 style position with some pace on the other wing but I’m not entirely sure how often he has played there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanayr1987 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 He definitely has something to offer but my worry is how often will he actually play. I know he also has another job but is that not the job that mathie does? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

super_carson Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I always thought a technical manager would be less about coaching and more logistical/admin? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer windows under this regime have been an absolute shitshow and that doesn't look like changing. Making a few offers for players who were never likely to join us anyway just so it looks like they at least tried does not hide the lack of a coherent plan. I wonder what past-it former Scotland international we can sign this time? Irish international 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Venom Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Chris Burke I think was a year older than McGeady is now when he was in the Championship two seasons ago and Mark Kerr turned 37 during our lovely 2018-2019 season. Just for any of the ageists among us. If he can stay fit (and I appreciate it's an if) he should be a class act. Hopefully off the park he has drawing power for future players and/or staff. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see his role as more of an Assistant Manager in modern terms. The fact that he is on the pitch (albeit if fit ) could be massive for our squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkyshotton Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Think it’s good to make a “Statement/Marquee”signing. Just wish they’d done it sooner. Might have convinced some of the other targets of our ambitions. Hopefully it works out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders1910 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 On the one hand it could be mad giving a 2 year deal to a 37 year old winger who only managed 9 games for Hibs last season. However, if he stays fit he could be class for us. Hopefully his time at big clubs like Celtic, Spartak and Everton means that he can bring a lot to the table off the field. I wonder how much cash we've spunked on him here but it's exciting at least 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.buzzy01 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The McGeady C.V. Speaks for itself. I think the team and manager will benefit with him being there and when fit, he can play a bit! It’s a bold move but I think it’s worth a shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 It is the sort of proven player I've been talking about. The injury situation is a worry but he has an off the field role as well. Hopefully it will also see an end to the too little and too poor argument trotted out by some on here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Just need an elite striker and a couple of fullbacks now and things will be looking interesting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only me... Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 The prone to injury thing shouldn't concern us as he has another role as well as player. Look at injuries last season with Musonda, Murdoch, Mullin, McAllister,..etc.. hold on, all names start with M... Anyway, he can tell Bullen to get his finger out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By all accounts McGeady is very forthcoming with his opinion, so I think he will challenge Bullen. I think Bullen will handle that fine, so it can only be a positive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
