fair enough...still a damn good price if you ask me.
It is. I'd be gutted to see him leave, but I'd be very happy if Celtic got £8m+ for him. I doubt Celtic would turn down a genuine bid of that amount for him either in these times.
I know the Hutton and Gordon transfer fees always come up when talking about McGeady but those happened in flusher (is that a word?) times.

Good luck Lenny!!!
He was in at the Maritime Festival at the weekend, just missed him by minutes apparently, would have loved a quick chat with the fella.
You would have enjoyed it Bobby I have met him twice at social functions and he is a genuine guy.
Still hated him as a player though

I've had very brief meets with him a couple of times - the latest being in The Palace pub in Temple Bar the night that Celtic were away to Rapid Vienna in the Europa League - I was amazed he wasn't at it. I had a brief conversation with him - he's a normal down to Earth fella - would love a couple of pints with him...0 -

From : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/c/celtic/8739641.stm
Neil Lennon believes his Irish roots makes his appointment as Celtic manager all the more significant.
The Lurgan-born former Celtic captain was confirmed as manager last week after taking interim charge as caretaker at the end of the season.
"I'm very proud," Lennon told Celtic's television station, Channel 67.
"I know a lot of people back home will be very pleased and proud for me as well," said Lennon. "I want to make them as proud as I am."
In a series of question and answer sessions, Lennon will return to Ireland next month to meet Celtic supporters in Dublin and Lurgan.
The former Northern Ireland captain is all too aware of what the Glasgow club means in his homeland and appealed to fans to give him time to demonstrate his commitment to the role of manager.
"Growing up, you always want to make your family proud and that never leaves you as you grow older and I think I've achieved that," said Lennon.
"I want to put a team out there that they can all admire and follow.
"It takes a while and I've got to be patient. They've got to show a wee bit of patience with us as well, but I'm determined to do it."
LOL yeah they diluted it so much they started bringing out famine memorial shirts 0 -

The reason for this special commemorative badge is to remember why Celtic was founded. It is not talked up. It is just in rememberance of the clubs foundation.
I seem to remember rangers wearing a Tangerine (orange) away jersey for a season even though they offically have no link to this colour and it was linked only to sectarianism. rangers have no direct link to any part of Ireland were as Celtic have direct links eg, the founder Bro. Wilfred. So there is no reason for Celtic (Lennon) not to talk up its Irish connection.

Why are you bringing sectarianism into it as for your founder I know who he was he was also the man that stated one of the main reasons for founding the club was to keep young RC boys away from the influences of Protestants.
Now as for Celtic not talking up Ireland Nonsense and if your club was so interested in remembering the famine for anything else other than commercial reasons why is it only in recent years that they have started commemorating it.
Once again there is no need to bring sectarianism into it I for one didn't like it when that top was brought out0 -

National famine day was only started in 2009, so Celtic have remembered it from its creation. Therefore how is it for commercial reasons?
I think it would be a bit hard to remember a day that did not exist before 2009

What I've pointed out is fact, it is the basic differences between the two clubs, Celtic has always from it's foundation been open to all sides of the community no matter there faith. Rangers did not allow a Catholic into the club after WW1 until Mo Johnston in '89, let's also not forget that a vice-chairman was openly sectarian & had to resign.
Thank God for Souness who tried to quash the divide,( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangers_F.C.)
"Until Graeme Souness signed former Celtic player Mo Johnston, in 1989, Rangers were said by him to have had an "unwritten policy"[41] of not signing any player who was Catholic;[42] although Johnston was by no means the first Catholic to sign for the club,[43] he was the first openly Catholic, high-profile player to sign for them since World War I.[44]
In 1999, Rangers' vice-chairman Donald Findlay was forced to resign after he was filmed singing sectarian songs[45] (The Billy Boys) at an event organised by a Rangers Supporters Club. In his resignation letter, Findlay described the incident as "a serious misjudgment". He said his conduct "was not acceptable" and he regretted any harm done to the club's reputation"0 -

Of course Celtic could not have remembered this terrible occasion before 2009
I don't think any Rangers fans will deny the past but most of us want to move on I notice how convenient it is that the fact during the Kelly/White reign at your club one of your Chairman made a telling statement that if he could field an all RC team he would have.
I am not going to keep arguing this with you as I said most of us want to move on0 -

Broxi Bear no matter what arguement is put up by one side there will also be a counter arguement from the other, we'll just have to wait and see how things pan out over the next 10-15 years.....:)0 -

Quite depressing that we cannot compete for a Cardiff player against Stoke and WBA, but a sign of the times I suppose.0 -

how long is a piece of string (or some other psych-babble stuff)
Head sorting of footballers is definitely not a science:)
And even on occasion when there is temporary head sorting done
it is amazing how often this head returns to unsorted
I am sure that I have made all that perfectly clear ! ! !
As clear as mud
Personally I hope he doesn't go to you lot as I think he is a handy wee player0 -
