What a save...

What he's stated isn't even controversial. As good and entertaining as McGeady was Iverson has been far more important to us than he ever was.

What you're arguing is that a keeper is more important than a winger. You're right. Without a keeper we concede 10,15,20 a game. But influential? Not having that. Also, Nash, Pickford and arguably Johnstone have been better than Iverson for us. Which player has been more exciting to watch than Mcgeady in the last 25 years? Fuller. That's it.

Aiden Mcgeady was our best loan signing in the last quarter of a century.

Undoubtedly

Agree with most of that, but I’d say McGeady was more exciting to watch than Ricardo.

Nash was great but he was also behind probably our best ever defence. Clean sheets are not just about the keeper.

Johnstone was in a L1 promotion team whereas for my Iversen has himself at times won us games. I think Iversen individually has won us more points.

McGeady was a class player but like Fuller, needed his own ball at times. These two are the most skilful players we had in my lifetime at the club for sure

Certainly be interesting to see what happens with him next season

Kasper been off form this season and Ward can be a bit ropey at times (as you may have seen at the weekend)

Kasper's deal runs out in 2023 and after comments made earlier this season about still wanting to play CL football it is thought that he may leave when his contract ends and go off somewhere like Portugal or Denmark etc where he can join one of their top teams and play CL for a few seasons

If Ward leaves this summer I think he will be kept as number 2

If Ward stays, I think Iversen goes out on loan for another season

Then in 2023 when Kasper may leave he will compete with whoever our other senior keeper is for number 1

Can only judge Ward on the game against Forest and he looked poor to say the least, mind you so did most of your team.
How ever with the performances he has put in this season to me he looks the more capable keeper and out of the two the one I'd have in my team.
His only slight down side is his distribution at times let's him down, but I'm pretty sure he will improve in time with this.
As far as BRs. Is concerned, simply not yet good enough and requires more time on loan at Preston North End who are doing an excellent job in blooding him into 1st team competive football and we allow him lots of attempts on goal to save., 😃👍

No, I'm arguing that Iverson is a more influential loan signing than McGeady, which he clearly is. McGeady lit up a dour mid table Championship side but ultimately that's what we remained, a dour mid table championship team. Without Iversen we'd be in a significantly worse off position in the league.

I get it, McGeady was great to watch but in terms of influence on the team he's not even in the top 5 in terms of loan signings in the past 20 years or so.

Without a goalkeeper full stop we'd be worse off.
 
Iverson may have made some fantastic saves and earned us points at his end. But he's never completely ran a game like Mcgeady did week in week out..... not once
