I do but it's about a million pages long sl i started another one. Problem?

To be fair you don't have to read through all the pages just to add a rumour about a player. Imaging if all the other 100s of player rumours had their own thread?

He's a very good player. 

 

Would be some signing in the Championship. 

 

 

At championship level he would be a very good signing

 

Based on which recent matches?

 

At the peak of his powers he was a phenomenal player, he's a long way from the peak of his powers, injuries, lack of game time, ego, lack of desire, whatever it is he faded massively with Everton to the point where he's no longer wanted and they're desperate to get him out of the club, why do we want to spend stupid money (even his wages if on loan) to take such a risk? There's got to be younger, hungrier players out there surely, what's the point of this scouting deal we have if all we're doing is looking for players with high profile names no matter how much lead they have left in their pencils?

He's reported to want a loan move to a PL club as opposed to dropping down a division and needs the game time to assure himself a place in Ireland's Euro squad.

 

Personally I'd take him, he needs to impress in the next few months and has undoubted quality.

I'm getting the feeling you're not excited by this potential signing

 

For free/loan and with minimal wages it'd possibly be worth the risk, but not if we're paying any kind of transfer fee plus 30-40k per week in wages, that gets you players like Forestieri not someone who'd be in and out of the team and offer little consistency.

 

I'm getting the feeling a lot of people are basing their opinions from Match of the Day! I'm no expert on footballers but I do watch the whole of matches not just MOTD highlights so get to see how much effort players put in, or in his case don't! Seem to remember he almost never lasted full games either, so despite being lazy he has little stamina to boot ;)

Fair enough, I'm surprised by the fee being quoted too but at the end of the day if he helps us get promoted any fee would be worth it. His style would be a perfect fit for our team, basically a footballing wide player but I'll admit I'm not familiar with his application. Hopefully the need to get into the Ireland squad and Carlos influence will make him a top performer in this league

He's the type of player CC referred to the type of signings we were looking at the beginning of the season a player which has know quality in the past but has fallen out of favour. Bannan,Hooper and Turner spring to mind although I would have thought Hooper's wages were a stretch. Can't imagine McGeady is on a less than Hooper.
