Think this will rule us out

“And Aiden McGeady, a man with his own skill move on FIFA, earns a reported £31k-a-week despite failing to make a single appearance this season”

Granted this article is a couple of years old, but Sunderland have been stupid with wages and length of contracts over the years and I would imagine he’s still on that now.

Would be amazing though, and we can dream! Think he’s lost his hunger though. Can see him going to USA or something.

Although eventually players on such high wages will have to settle for lesser contract terms, to keep on playing.?

Hasn'y he had a fallout with the manager over an incident within the club? Effectively told you've played your last game for Sunderland because of it

I think there was something on Talksport     Jim White show about him stopping off on the way home after a game for a burger
Manager got an arse on about it not being professional

Jim White was making a real deal out of it for affect on the radio

Fancy a footballer liking a takeaway burger whatever next. It would totally ruin him as a player

Have to say I don’t like him on the radio I find him quite pretentious and patronising

Oh me too! I can't really listen to him for long. Yesterday was a case in point by getting all 'Scottish' when discussing the U.K. World Cup bid and suggesting Celtic Park or Hampden etc could compete with Wembley as the venue for the final.
