Hi question for the Blackpool ed (not disrespect to our ed) you may know a bit more about tom ince. where do you think he will end up? And if it's everton how good his he really? I've heard mixed things but you watch him week in week out so be good to hear your view on the lad.

Thanks.

{Ed003's Note - I really can't answer where he'll end up Eddy,He's not been at his best this year due to the change in tactics his Father has introduced basically he is being asked to do a lot on his own with little if any support,He will flourish with better players around him that's for sure,He was immense before his Father took over, best player in the championship by a country mile last season.}

I do believe that Hernandez is avail from utd should we consider a punt on him?

doesnt do anything when he starts and doesn't offer much else besides scoring goals from the bench and would cost over 15m so no I think we should look at someone else

Quote from Roberto at this morning's press conference during which he denied that McGeady was undergoing a medical on Merseyside, :-

"We have got to make sure the squad doesn't become affected by bringing the wrong personality into the Club."

I don't know if I'm reading too much into this, but I've heard various people saying that McGeady is a disruptive character. I don't personally think he'd add anything to our current squad anyway.

Ok so the main rumours are all about tom ince and aiden mcgeady. Personally I would rather take tom ince over mcgeady because;

A he plays regularly for blackpool
b averages almost 1 goal in every 3 games
c has a great first touch
d and good awareness and reads the game


Mcgeady is injury prone, does nt play regulary and his assist and goals record is poor. Also ince is young and a better prospect moving foward. Though ince is meant to be a bit of a tosser on a personal level there are no doubts about his commitment unlike mcgeady

Cant really compare the goal ratio as they play in different leagues.
But I have written off you post anyway anyway as don't think you have seen much of Mcgeady. Won scottish young player and player of the season in his 1st season at Celtic and has had 24 assists in 71 games in his time in Russia.not that poor.

You can certainly compare the goal ratio as besides three teams in russia, their league is no better than the championship. Your referring bk to mcgeadys first season at celtic. let's notforget this was 10 years ago. Who would you rather spend our limited resources on. Someone who your hoping can turn the clock bk or the young up and coming highly sought after ince. The choice seems easy to make

mcgeady has a decent record for a winger, ince is an attacking player while mcgeady does track back and helps the team as a whole, mcgeady will cost nothing so I would rather spend nothing than 8m

Your deluded ox m8 . As if the rumour going around that we will just take over his contract r true. I expect the fee to be around 2-4 mil. Looks like he's coming . Hope its a smoke screen for another decent striker tbh

hang on
1.dont call me deluded without offering me a drink first
2.are you in the know? if not don't bother acting like you are
3.pre contracts are possible, google it
4.do not and I repeat do not call me deluded
5.my opinion but judging by your remarks my opinion is better than yours (joke)
6.dont go mad just because you disagree, even if you are completely wrong
7.read the above
im sure its just rumours but judging by martinez's smile when asked about him I doubt it

Why would we pay £2-4m for McGeady now when we can have him for nothing in July? According to reports (yea I know) we're trying to thrash out a deal to take him on loan for the rest of the campaign then he becomes ours at the end of the season. Failing that I would have thought a nominal fee would get him now, maybe £500k at most? Sorry, but £2-4m is ridiculous, IMHO.

that makes sense db cooper taking him on loan, cannot see him sitting on the bench waiting six months to play again
