Like the way Preston are going down the Irish route now and pity we don't take a punt on some of the players although we was linked with the lad that Brentford signed. Cork City had a sell on clause on both but they had to sell the sell on clause for peanuts during financial troubles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan4Life Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Just now, rodders0223 said: £4m for SPL players. The world has gone mad! Andrew Robertson went to Hull for £3.6mil from Dundee United and that ended up well fella Moved to Liverpool for £9mil and one of the best Left Back's in Europe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid4ever Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Would love to see McGinn at Villa. Seen a lot of him as the wife’s family are season ticket holders at Easter Road, good player who also can mix it up, bit feisty as well, as shown by his run in’s with Scott Brown last season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They received £7mil for Stuart Armstrong from Southampton who isn't even as good as McGinn Celtic think they can just offer low fees for Scottish players and expect other clubs in Scotland to say Yes even though St Mirren had 33% sell on clause inserted. They pay more when they sign from Europe hence why Hibs don't want to deal with them. West Ham had £5mil bid turned down for McGinn in Jan i believe, Celtic was trying it on with offering £2mil he is now in his last year of contract they was hoping no one else would bid and they would get him on Pre Contract in Jan.

He scored 15 goals last season and is 21 years old. Looks a real player. Suprised somebody hasn’t gone in for him. I see that it was Steve Bruce that signed him from Hereford.

Seeing Salford giving Adam Rooney £5k a week which Aberdeen would never be able to match shows exactly how much money is down here even in Non-League compared to top league in Scotland.

alreadyexists Posted August 7, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2018 Neil Moxley reporting that McGinn fee is 2.1m if so that’s a total bargain. I know little about him but he’s very highly rated by those who do, and at that price there’s very little risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
