Would you rate him as better than Downing?

Yeah Aiden is a fantastic player, can play on the right also, he is naturally right footed but can go past a man either side and used to have your Hutton on toast all the time

Glad you said that as, if the rumour is true, anything that stops us going after Downing has to be good! He's improved slightly this year but is still way too inconsistent.
Shame he's not a natural left footer but it hasn't exactly harmed Lennon who's also predominantly right footed but more than capable of beating players either side and often crosses/shoots with his left. I don't know why but more players seem to be able to use both feet in the modern era than years ago.

Also allows them to cut inside and crack a shot from distance...although that's not always a good thing! He isn't the finished article and he doesnt get on with Strachan (who does?) and he took a punch from Boruc the other day in training and he can be a bit of a moaner, but if you get him you are signing a top class player imo

Boruc is not likely to win a Nobel Prize for Peace any time soon is he?
How old is McGeady?

And you've got to love the Holy Goalie, he just doesnt take any pooe from anyone

Would you rate him as better than Downing? My Gran is better than Downing and she's been dead a good few years now...

Republic of Ireland boss Giovanni Trapattoni has confirmed that Bayern Munich are leading the £9m hunt for Celtic winger Aiden McGeady to replace Franck Ribery who it is believed is interesting Barcelona and Manchester City. (The Sun)
As he doesn't get on with Strachan looks a foregone conclusion he'll be moving elsewhere Gerry?

Hopefully not Stealth, hopefully it's Strachan who departs! As for Aiden most people who've watched him from a young age realised a long time ago, he was destined for a bigger stage than the SPL. Although, I'd want more than £9m for him

You're not a Strachan fan then? Who would you like to see managing Celtic?

You can't argue with the mans record, but he has us playing some terrible football, Rangers are in such a bad state at the moment it really is laughable that we are only 3 points ahead of them, we shoudl still win it but we do still need to travel to Snake Mountain this season so you never know, in reality we should be 10-15 points ahead and counting down to party time, if we let them get this championship it really would be unforgiveable. As for next manager I've heard all the Roy Keane talk but wouldn't really be too happy if he got the job! I like Craig Levein but doubt he'd be the man to make us stronger in Europe but you never know. The money we could offer rules out people like Bilic (thankfully) and the liek so it's a tough one, maybe Levein but really not sure. Our reserve manager has won the league (including this season which we will win) 9 times in a row so he might think he should be a candidate.

Paul Ince?
What about John Barnes back?

Ally McCoist?

Craig Levein seems to have a good record in Scotland with just a bit of a blip with Leicester.

Yeah Rover that's about as likely as me getting a season ticket at Ipox good try though He is a very good manager (CL) but I would have some doubts but he is a good candidate.

Seriously though what was your perspective on the Barnes reign?

Post by gerry09 on Mar 25, 2009 14:23:47 GMT
It was a horrible, horrible time for us Rover, he was miles out of his depth, and only got the job as he was pals with King Kenny

That's what I thought too. You only have to see him attempting to perform on TV to realise how limited he is.
He also sort of played the race card half heartedly since hinting that he's not been employed as a manager because of his colour.

I know that made me chuckle, playing the race card against a fantastically inclusive club, maybe try it against Bigot FC across the city but not us

He couldn't contemplate the idea that he's just a pooe manager...

Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc has come under fire for his dreadful performance against Northern Ireland for Poland in their World Cup qualifier at Windsor Park. (News of the World)
Hopefully that's his bad period out of the way for the rest of the season?

I doubt it is his bad period out of the way, must've been hard for him to play when he had death threats made against him, shows the courage of the man imo to still come out and play and not let the bigots win.

Well, if it is a done deal we now have five left backs. Maybe we're trying to build a team of them...

My understanding is that McCarthy never wanted Naylor to leave in the first place anyway, but since we were so skint we had no choice really.

He had a good 1st season for us but after that it has been depressing, but in his favour he has never tried to hide on the park and always stands up and be counted, just a shame the numbers add up to pooe
