Also, Aiden McGeady is seen in the Irish set-up as a striker, that is where he played for the youth teams.

He wasn't the only player to miss a penalty against Spain, and his attitude has been fine here. I remember Elliott missed an easy chance against the Faroes too. When he's on form he is a better player than Morrison, not sure about Elliott because he did very well last season and is quite young, but even he was dropped for the back end of last season, so i don't know whether he has problems too.
I don't want to argue about it though, as you, Eoghan and Adam don't like him and probably won't change your opinion, but neither will i. If he's not wanted then i'd sooner he didn't play so he isn't risking injury anyway.
The papers are saying Newcastle have made a bid for Luque, which would be a great signing if they pulled it off.
