| Posted on here a few times leading up to the game at Parkhead and will do again before June.Reason for posting is really wanted to find out if Hayes is even quoted for the Ireland squad as he is playing out his skin this season for Aberdeen. Or is the fact he plays in Scotland and doesn't play for Celtic mean he has no chance.To be honest I wouldn't fancy him running at our defence in June but the guy will be a contender for player of the year in Scotland this year and if we could find a Scottish granny he'd be playing for us. |

Only way he'd get near a squad (even experimental squad - which we wont have until this campaign is completely finished) is if he left Aberdeen for as you say Celtic or England. Is he really better than McGeady, Brady, McClean, Pilkington, Walters regardless? Willo Flood, incidentally, was rumoured in the media to be on the verge of a call up last year as Keane had been impressed by him. Never happened, and probably never will any time soon

Fine with me,funny seeing him described as "young". Not to bothered if he is "off the radar" until after you play us in June. "Is he really better than McGeady, Brady, McClean, Pilkington, Walters regardless" You wouldn't find an Aberdeen supporter who would let him go in a straight swap for McGeady.And I don't know who the other guys are.But hey I don't know some of the names in the Scotland squad that play in England. "Willo Flood, incidentally, was rumoured in the media to be on the verge of a call up last year as Keane had been impressed by him. Never happened, and probably never will any time soon" Has been out injured ,popular player,hard working but might struggle to get back in this Aberdeen team.

Aberdeen fans must be off their heads in that case, because McGeady would quite possibly win them the SPL single handedly. I've seen Hayes play on quite a few occasions, he always struck me as a good player at SPL level, that's kind of the problem though, it's hard to judge exactly how good a guy is when he's playing the the SPL. Another of Aberdeen's Irishmen, Adam Rooney, is a prime example of that. He was fantastic with Inverness, got a move to Birmingham in the Championship and did nothing, dropped down to League One with Swindon and Oldham and didn't fare much better, but lo and behold, he moves back to the SPL with Aberdeen and instantaneously starts banging in the goals again. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

All in all Hayes can be pleased with his lot over the past few days, not exactly headline grabbing material but he did fine especially tonight. I love his willingness to run back and help out the defence, not to mention after he strung a few simple passes to his team mates he grew in confidence and started to take on the full backs. Nice little addition to the squad and will hopefully replace some of the deadwood. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Thought he looked exceptionally one dimensional tbh, didn't see anything to suggest we'll see any more of him in an Irish squad. Then again it was only his first experience at international level so perhaps he'll grow into it. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

Hayes plays mostly on the right for Aberdeen does he not? That's where I've seen him play mostly anyway. I do think he looks better there, cutting inside rather than going down the line. Albeit that is at SPL level, so perhaps that's why he seemed more impressive. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

Agreed he is better on the right, but given his age and how he adapted, I doubt we will see him again in green. Unless he joins Yeovil or Shamrock. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

That's maybe a little harsh on him PM. I dont think he's a bad player or anything, and certainly on his day for Aberdeen he can be quite impressive, but perhaps international football is a bridge too far for him and giving his age profile it's hard to see that changing. I'd be happy to be proved wrong though, seems an honest, hard-working guy. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

Some very harsh opinions in here. The lad made two late cameos in games where the flow had already been completely disrupted by many substitutions. He tracked back well and looked threatening taking on his full back, winning a couple of corners. I wasn't overly thrilled when he was named in the squad, but how anyone can say he's not good enough based on that is beyond me ------------- (San Marino) I think i'd settle for the draw. |

He looked out of his depth. Fair play to him though for playing himself into the squad and getting a full international.

Because he isn't good enough. At 29 and when your first cap is a friendly a few months before a major tournament it is vital you hit the ground running. He didn't.

I wouldn't completely rule him out, but like others have said there was something that didn't look quite right about him when he got on the ball. It was too predictable or obvious what he was going to do I think. Compare him to someone like Hoolahan who's quite fluid in his movement, and Hayes' whole posture looked wooden and tense. Perhaps that's down to nerves though, I've seen him looked much more sprightly playing for Aberdeen. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

He scored 5 in 18, which isn't too shabby for a 17 year old getting his first taste of adult football.

I think everyone would accept that point, however it is quite hard to ignore the fact that a lot of guys seem to go to the SPL having done nothing of note with their careers and suddenly achieve a great degree of success there.

Not knocking him at all, I quite like him actually. He's been excellent for Aberdeen and fully deserves his recognition.

Mackay-Steven is nowhere near good enough either, although I think when he gets his confidence back he will at least an equal to Hayes for another Scottish club. I am not a big fan of Forrest but he is much better this season and would have him over Hayes every time, I would actually say markedly better. Forrest will be kept in and around the squad, another right winger is definitely needed though. There has been talk of Pep wanting to assess Roberts in the summer before, possibly, sending him out again on loan for the year. I think the club should push the boat out to have him at Celtic in some shape or form, the lad is different class. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Celtic will buy quality over quantity in the summer, if Delia was still in charge you could definitely see someone like Hayes interesting him. With Brendan, I can see just a couple of additions but they will players like Sinclair will go straight into the starting line up and be expected to be automatic week in week out, I couldn't see Hayes fitting that profile. Kouassi was signed for the CL qualifiers in mind and more the future than the right now, with Celtic's engine room more than capable. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Spot on, Hayes would have been someone Deila would have looked at. I actually think there will be a few ins and outs this year though. There is a few of the higher earners amongst those who have contracts up; Touré, Commons, Ambrose, Roberts Ciftci, Ambrose etc. I would imagine that the overall wage bill would be more likely to rise than fall. Add in GMS, Bitton almost certainly leaving and there will be a few key arrivals and squad players coming.

I'm not suggesting Celtic should sign him, just that he'd easily be good enough to be a squad player for them based on what they have there at the moment. I don't think Hayes is outstanding, but he's undoubtedly been one of the top players in the SPL for a few years now, he's certainly the standout for Aberdeen (ie.the leagues second best club). For that reason alone I think it's a bit ridiculous to scoff at the idea of him playing for Celtic, and if he were 5 years younger I'd say there would be a decent chance of it happening. ------------- We're decent enough.. |
Posted By: pre Madonna
Date Posted: 02 May 2017 at 9:51pm
There is no player playing for another club in Scotland who is at the required standard Celtic have set, that is just being realistic.

Actually, I'd say it's the exact opposite of realistic, it's bordering on absurd. To suggest there's no other players in the SPL who would even be useful squad players for Celtic makes no sense at all, it's positively illogical. ------------- We're decent enough.. |

There really isn't though, it isn't absurd to anybody who has been following Scottish football this season. If you want a third choice keeper or ninth choice midfielder maybe. It is a mixture of the division being of quite poor standard and Celtic having improved and set higher targets for the club. The fact Ryan Christie has got more games in two months on loan at Aberdeen than two years at Celtic would highlight that. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

Just to show that it wasn't an off the cuff remark or exaggeration, this was the team the Daily Record picked as the best of the rest 11 in the SPFL. Clark -St. Johnstone Logan- Aberdeen Lindsay- Partick Souttar-Hearts Wallace- the Rangers Walker- Hearts McLean- Aberdeen McGinn- Hibs Hayes- Aberdeen Cummings- Hibs Rooney- Aberdeen I disagree with Clark, I still think Foderingham is the best outside of Celtic but, as he showed on Saturday, isn't great. We need a better challenge to Gordon than Dorus or Wes. Shay Logan is a fine right-back and would do a decent job in the championship, is nowhere Lustig or Gamboa. Liam Lindsay is actually someone I have suggested wouldn't be a bad signing in the past, there is little to suggest he is better than young Kris Ajer , who Rodgers sees as a centre-half. We need a decent and experienced centre-half to replace Touré, who I feel has been a flop. Souttar- A lot of hype but no substance, he is young but I don't think is good enough. Wallace- One of the Rangers better players but showed how out of his depth he was at international level. Walker- An average right-winger, not exactly a replacement for Roberts. Isn't even anywhere near GMS, never mind Forrest McLean- Far too inconsistent, even within games, but he does have talent. He wouldn't get near the team McGinn- Very similar to above, but is younger and has more drive. I once thought he could replace Brown but now I am not so sure. He definitely needs to be playing regularly to develop and would be behind Brown, Armstrong, Kouassi, Bitton, Rogic, McGregor Hayes- has been discussed. Cummings- Will be a decent player in the Scottish Premiership, I don't think he will be any more. Rooney- Extremely limited but making the most of it. There is a reason he hasn't been seen for Ireland. Back to Hayes himself, he played left back on Saturday and was poor by all accounts, ruling him out as an option there. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Hayes had a great cup final yesterday , pity he got a knock and looks likely to miss the Mexico game as I'm sure he would've started Harry Redknapp was at the game scouting Aberdeen players so wouldn't be surprised to see Jonny at Birmingham next season |

Why ask the question if you're going to respond like that? You've obviously your mind made up. You do realize they may not be fighting relegation next season. ------------- Wings? They're only the band The Beatles could have been. |

Ah cool the jets, just asking what people think. I'm not sure it's so clear-cut tbh. Bit of a shame he didn't get a move down south or to Celtic when he was a little younger, as he's getting on for a winger now.

Apart from the games Aberdeen play against Celtic, Hayes is playing every week against teams that aren't championship standard, and in many cases nowhere near it. It's an upward move. ------------- No thank you Turkish......I'm sweet enough |

And whatever games Aberdeen have in Europe. But fair enough. That Liam Boyce is the top scorer in the SPL and can't get a look-in for the North, says it all about the SPL I suppose...

Hayes is a decent player and in the dreadful friendly with Iceland didn't look out of place particularly and deserves a better coach than that bottler McInnes. Scottish hacks trying to make out however if Roberts stays at City, Rodgers will sign Hayes but I don't see that at all. ------------- We'll never die, we'll never die, we'll keep the Green Flag flying high......Shamrock Rovers will never die, we'll keep the Green Flag Flying high. 19 Leagues and 25 Cups..... |
