Yes. I want City to sign him for £12 million. I was quite excited when we were linked with him I have to say. Alas, he is too good to end up at somewhere like us when he eventaully does leave Celtic.

McGeady is the pantomine villain now in Scotland. No-one up there can be trusted to judge him by his performances because they can't see past his treachery in deserting Scotland to play for the Irish.

They want him to fall flat on his face and convince themselves that he will.

This season (and I have watched almost all of Celtic's games on Celtic TV) he has been sensational, and what is more, he has, by and large, produced the goods in the Champions League too.

Not really TBH. He won't be the last plastic Paddy to turn out for the Irish. I accept there are a number of people who boo him for the reasons you state but to tar everyone with the same brush is a bit out of order. Once again the Old Firm conspiracy theories raise their ugly heads.

McGeady is over-rated and for anyone to suggest that he could turn it on in any league in Europe is pretty baffling TBH. After all, he is playing against the likes of Alan Maybury FFS!

However, I note with glee that he was completely ineffective against a reserve Arab defender last night.

£12 million? I will state this here right now. If Celtic get offered £12 million for McGeady (which they won't), he would be frogmarched out of Celtic Park in a flash, much the same as Hutton was moved on from Rangers for such a ridiculous fee.

To be honest your history clearly indicates that bitter hatred of anything to do with Celtic and “plastic Paddys” oozes out of every pore, so forgive me for not believing that your judgement is anything other than clouded.

McGeady has frightened quality European teams in Champions League matches. That is a fact. The opponents themselves have said so, and I’m not just talking about rubbing-rag clubs from third rate nations akin to Scotland, I’m talking ones from Spain, Italy and Portugal.

Not seen last night’s game and I wager you haven’t either but it sounded like an abysmal performance from 1 to 11 so to lay the blame on a winger is more than a tad harsh, but it’s an easy thing to do when you are trying to prove an incorrect point.

Therefore, by definition, you love of Celtic would therefore suggest that your opinion is clouded the opposite way?

I was AT the game. So you are wrong again.

Not neccessary and incorrect point, but an opinion.

I am a Manchester City supporter first and foremost. The fact that I would like McGeady to come to City shows that I must rate him for more reasons than wanting to trump him as a great player for Celtic.

Whatever way you tart it up, you are still a Celtic fan and therefore your opinion may well be as "biased" as you suggest mine is.

McGeady is like the new Michael Owen in so much as the only ones who rate him highly are the fans of the club/country he plays for. £12 million is absurd and, frankly laughable.
