Riordan to get Chance?

Jedi Knight · 09-14-2006, 06:33 PM

With McGeady's performances of late, does anyone think Riordan shoould rise above him in the pecking order and get the chance to push Maloney for a place in Celtic's midfield?

theo kawala · 09-14-2006, 08:13 PM

i watched him play once when he was playing for hibernians he was amazing

theo kawala · 09-14-2006, 08:13 PM

let him have a chance gordon!

goldenHuddlestone · 09-14-2006, 10:12 PM

Is he not a striker?

Jedi Knight · 09-14-2006, 10:25 PM

more a winger/attacking midfielder. heis one of Scotland's most promising youngsters. I'm hoping he'll be patient and wait for his chance. He has been Hibs top scorer twice.

theo kawala · 09-15-2006, 07:16 AM

yer i remember he scored a scorcher against lvingston was it last season?

King of Kings · 09-15-2006, 11:19 AM

What he would bring to the team is more width.

Maloney and McGeagy are both right footed and want to cut infield all the time. Riordan will stretch teams more, but he played more as a striker for Hibs similar to what Maloney was at first with Celtic. Maybe Strachan is teaching him how to play in the middle as he did with Maloney?

Jedi Knight · 09-15-2006, 01:39 PM

there's rumours abound that he off in January. Seems he's lost patience. Pity, another talented youngster who's career's stalled since joining one half of the Old Firm. In fairness though, there is more competition at the Old Firm and these boys are used to being the star player at their previous club and thus find it a culture shock not being a first pick when they join the Old Firm.

I really think he needs to adopt the same attitude that Shaun Maloney, McGeady showed in order to get into the team. These guys didnt just sit about and complain, they worked on thier game. So far i havent seen anything from riorden in any of the games that he has played so far (freindlies as well) in which he has impressed. so he needs to work harder.

I hope it works out for the guy because if he was performing as well we really would have a formidable attacking force.

Jedi Knight · 09-15-2006, 05:39 PM

i quite agree. At the end of the day he's no longer the big fish that he was when he was with Hibs and has to accept he won't be picked on reputation alone. He'll have to EARN the right to wear the Hoops, especially as there are others equally as talented keeping him out of the team.

Joe · 09-16-2006, 02:13 PM

If his attitude is not right then he will have absolutely no chance of being successful under Strachan.

Pity, he could be a great player for us.

Jedi Knight · 09-16-2006, 02:51 PM

it says a lot about his attitude that he's already making noises about leaving in January instead of keeping his head down and working hard just as Maloney, McGeady, Kennedy, McManus etc..... have done

goldenHuddlestone · 09-16-2006, 09:34 PM

how old is he though

theo kawala · 09-17-2006, 06:41 AM

someting like 23

squid · 09-18-2006, 12:26 PM

he did have a bit of a reputation of being a bit spoiled at Hibs. Mind you if you look back a couple of years McGeady was making noises about not being in the team. Its not to late for Riordan. Apparently he's going to get a game against St Mirrin, hopefully he can impress.

Joe · 09-18-2006, 12:42 PM

I hope he can too, I think that he is a great talent.

Hopefully he will bag a goal. Can't see him managing to make the starting line up for the old firm game, no matter how well he plays, but he could get onto the bench.

theo kawala · 09-21-2006, 08:19 PM

he can score goals and will hes a very good player

Joe · 09-22-2006, 11:07 AM

Well he was a disapointment, but he has to get a chance with a run of games. Just hope that he will wait about for it.

theo kawala · 09-22-2006, 04:10 PM

hes still young and if he doesnt get the games he wants he will move
