3.46 is shocking but if anything he's been over marked.
McGeady's clearly not match ready. I still clearly remember him terrorising us at The Valley last year, and potentially he's a very good player. So, has injury meant he'll never recover his form, has has age caught up with him, or will three or four matches help him recapture his sharpness? That'll be a test for Bowyer, who you would think would be desperate to get the best out of him. Also, I can't imagine he'll put up with his lackadaisical approach to defensive duties for long.

I put them on the rumours thread but the things I heard from a well informed Sunderland fan before we were even linked with him didnt make for great reading. Apparent attitude to training, fitness and managers.
Add that to the plainly visible complete lack of workrate and even the basic desire to track his man (the most basic of tasks for a footballer) then its a no from me. Luxury player we cant afford. Frankly I was surprised Bow went for him given his emphasis on the right characters etc. Can see him not making the squad by the end of the season.

My Sunderland mate said similar.
Bowyer loves a challenge, and I’m sure would love to turn him into a more hard working midfielder.

I'd be surprised if hard work was the problem.
