People on this board keep underestimating McGinn. He’s more than “work rate and endeavor.” “McGinn is a superb ball carrier and has averaged 2.1 successful dribbles per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season — level with the widely praised Jack Grealish and behind only Keinan Davis (2.4). As can be seen in his Smarterscout actions map below from the current Premier League season, McGinn loves to pick the ball up deep inside his own half and use his dribbling ability to progress his side forward quickly. Smarterscout also rate his dribbling at 93/99.” https://www.google.com/amp/s/worldfootballindex.com/2020/07/john-mcginn-aston-villa-transfer-analysis/amp/

Let’s do it. I have some clouds I need to connect and a bridge between them would be perfect.

How much you selling it for?

He had a great start to his time at OL. I want to know what happened to the guy who scored 13 goals and 4 assists in his first season to 7 / 3 the next season and 1 / 0 this passed season.

Nah, I think you’re the ........ *yawns*....... only one to have that happen.

Come on now. No need to be melodramatic about it. You know that's not what's happening here.

It's such a tease when I can finally react to something only to find out it was just a single reaction allowed.

Assuming this is what's happening, how much of this is MIlot and how much of it is his agent holding him hostage to get more money?

You gotta love twitter... Must be desperate for followers.

Or at the very least let us have more reactions. It's brutal seeing so many good posts and not being able to react to them.

I agree. He has some wonderful skills and his highlights certainly are exciting (especially compared to what some people were saying in this thread) but to be fair, you can see at the end of several of his moves he loses the ball or kicks it right at a defender. Seems to get out of control every now and then.

Sadly Villa had that issue with Nakamba last year though.

They play different positions though.

So you're saying we're really a Europa League team?

Wouldn't they have been in by now if they were interested though?

I can't remember the exact number of points we "threw away" but it's somewhere in the mid to upper teens. To me the worst was two of those games our opponent had ten men.

Just use this:

Ha! No need to get so worked up. Nothing wrong with a differing opinion. But as I said you're choosing not to see what can make him successful if all you think he has is work-rate and endeavor.

Spare me the pseudo-intellectual retort. If you can't see that McGinn has proven he can be successful at this level than your choosing not to see it. It also didn't help that his first season in the PL was derailed by a snapped ankle.

Why are you so unhappy with this signing?

Bodes well for Edouard then........ although it was only a friendly.

It's also why Brighton was never a real story. He wasn't going to leave one Gk competition at a potential Champions League team to have another Gk competition at a middling Brighton.
