    Bloody hell, league 1 player on £30k a week. Conor Gallagher a 19yr old on the same.

    The game's gone mad 
    Sunderland fans seem to think McGeady is on half that.

    St.Parky of Hoofball has no time for prima donnas, shop stewards and Jonny Stepovers.  Not sure LB does either.

    God, I hope he scores the winner on his birthday. That'll be grand.

    McGeady's in good company. Parkinson's treatment of Shelvey when he managed us suggests he doesn't really trust flair players.

    Would take it with a pinch of salt, two sides to every story, would seem weird to just suddenly make last years poty train with the reserves for just an argument. 

    That said he seems to have a good attitude on him and the desire to play as much football as he can. I think I'm in the minority but I thought he played ok last weekend, hopefully more match sharpness and he can prove to be a good addition.

    My Sunderland mate described him as fat, lazy, up his own arse, disaster in the changing room and expressed his thanks to us. Let's hope Aiden proves him wrong.

    wasn't Shelvey just 17 at the time??

    The guys played almost 100 times for Ireland. If I ended up in a mid table league 1 club I wouldn’t be happy at all.

    Will get a proper run out for the next couple weeks with Williams out injured.

    The photos of him when he signed, he was far from fat.

    Don't shoot the messenger! He was also voted poty by supporters the previous year.  I think he has something to prove to them an

    Sounds like he was made a scape goat up there towards the end.

    Sunderland aren’t the only club to do this. “Fat, lazy, glad he’s gone”... that sounds like the sort of comments people made when we let go of Simon Francis among others.

    He might have been 17 but he was already head and shoulders above Bailey and Semedo.

    No way, was he using it.

    "Fat, lazy, glad he's gone" was perhaps a better reflection on Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink's time with us, rather than Francis's.

    Hope he starts against Luton, you can see the talent he has when he has the ball at his feet, and I think he can hurt Lutons back line.

    Parky wouldn’t know a decent footballer if they hit him round the face with a wet kipper.

    He’d been ill before the Blackburn game, so was unlikely to be on top form. Hopefully he’ll step it up tomorrow, and I’d like to see him alongside Oztumer. I think they could link up well.

    Hoping he finds himself fit and with his scoring boots in any chances he has with us and secured a decent 2 year deal with an extension. Play up

    Wasn’t the Stoke game he was ill for?

    I think it was Stoke. 

    I know a section of fans have already written him off after the Blackburn game, but I definitely can see his talent when he is in possession of the ball. 

    With Leko gone, and Williams forever injured, we lack anyone who can take a players on directly. I'd like to see McGeady and Oztumer start as well, but can't see Bowyer risking a midfield with two attack minded players.

    Sunderland fan calling player who left them ‘fat and lazy’. Doesn’t smack of bitterness at all that!
    The same Sunderland fans who gave him his very own song and voted him player of the season. 
    I think he’ll be good if given game time. Debatable whether that happens in the position we’re in. A luxury player of sorts. Bowyer has a tough job getting the balancing act of flair and grit in the run-in.

    I want to be able to give my Sunderland mate pelters so come on Lee given McGeady a start and let's have some goals from you Aiden.

    Yeah, what was the name of that left back/left midfielder he signed from Colchester? Disastrous signing.

    I usually have good feelings about players and usually urge us to give them all a fair crack of the whip 

    I do not have a good feeling about this signing at all

    What is it for Parky now? Three promotions, two play-off exits, League Cup final and FA Cup quarter final beating Prem teams along the way? What a chancer.
