[quote=âThe Pukeâ]I am surprised that celtc fans would take McGeadyâs sideâŚDoesnât make a difference whether you are a professional soccer player or a labourer on a building site or an office worker, you cannot undermine your bosses position in front of the rest of the staff/players and expect to get away with it, barring the boss lacking any balls or backboneâŚ
I am surprised that Aiden would carry on like that, is he getting a bit in his boots I wonderâŚ[/quote]
true, people look up to ferguson & his hair dryer treatment but when wgs has a small pop mcgreedy flies of the handle & people back mcgreedy- he needs to get a grip -
when he was coming through at Celtic as a teen it was said he was rated very highly at the club & the person that rated him most highly was himself
a bit of humility is needed from him & he needs to get his head down & start delivering
I notice youâve been calling him âMcGreedyâ since this story broke NCC - is this cutting terminology?!
Puke, for many supporters McGeady would embody Celtic:
Scottish born of Irish ancestry and Irish at heart.
Loves and supports Celtic, has done since he was a bhoy and hates the Huns with a passion and never hides that fact.
He plays football in the finest Celtic traditions, with skill and flair.
Many people would choose someone whoâs Celtic through and through over any manager, even one whoâs been successful like Strachan.
I would hope they can sort this out between them. But, while admittedly not knowing the facts, I would choose McGeady over Strachan if I was forced to.
McGeadyâs coach and mentor from when he was a kid, and who features in the McGeady documentary, says this on the huddleboard:
The source of the problem between these two is nothing to do with Scotland or Ireland or Strachanâs personal opinions or relationships with McGeady.
ALL of this turmoil is deeply rooted in the fact that Strachan is trying to, and has always tried to, make Aiden McGeady into something that heâs not and NEVER will never be:
A left winger with defensive aplomb or for that matter a right winger with the same.
The Bhoy is a CREATIVE midfield player - always was and soon will be again. The crux of the problem at the weekend was that Aiden was unable to have an effect wide left and so started wandering inside - Strachan wanted him to hug the line even if it meant being a virtual spectator and freaked out when Aiden didnât conform (as he probably should have).
The fact that he has won medals and personal awards playing in this makeshift (for him) position is a marvellous tribute to his all round ability.

reminds me of when stokes joined sunderland & his coach at st kevins was on newstalk saying wegner didnt know how to develop a player[/quote]
Ah yeah, Iâm not at all arguing that heâs more knowledgeable than Strachan in coaching terms, just posting whatâs possibly/probably accurate information as to the source of their differences. Surely they can overcome what appears to be a football related argument - he says itâs nothing to do with how they get on personally which is encouraging enough.
[quote=âBandageâ]And whatâs your source said thatâs made you reach this conclusion, dancingbaby?

its not me reaching this conclusion. my source, who was present at the dispute, says one of them will have to go and he doesnt think it will be strachan.
Iâll take a direct transcript via the Private Message facility please. Aiden will be fined two weeks wages today. Theyâll get on with it for the rest of the season. Strachan will leave in the summer with 4 league titles in a row to his credit and then Aiden can flourish under a new manager who possesses a reputation for playing silky football. Big Sam Allardyce is available.

would McGeady still be seen as celtic through and through if he ends up playing for sunderland next season because of a strop he had after a row with a manager who has just won 4 in a row for the club?
i find that hard to believe.
Villa could do with cover out wide. He would get chances in the Cups but MON aint a fan of rotation in the EPL so it may affect his form for Ireland.
Altho it could be argued that he has been a regular for years at Glasgow Celtic and still failed to deliver for his international side thus far.
If NZogbia leaves Newcastle they would be interested. A swap deal with Duff could be a runner. Newcastle is close enough to home. He would want to be insane to join that shambles tho.
Other potentially interested clubs, City, Sunderland, Everton altho they seem more intereted in Stephen Hunt and Middlesboro.
