Fight Like Lions Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) He seems really focused and keen to impress and develop his game. Neil Lennon is singing his praises even now, not often you see players leave on such good terms. All the best to him, I really want him to do succeed now having watched his interview.

robby b Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45122873 A very encouraging read on the BBC. I didn't know that Hibs have had a brilliant few years (winning the Scottish Cup a few years ago, then promotion back to the Scottish Premiership two seasons ago and then 4th place last season with a record number of points. Promising. : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fowlersrs Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Where do we think he sits in a midfield 3? Would he be caps or of playing infront of hourihane and grealish or is it that too offensive? Hoping Kodija may benefit from his presence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, delighted to see my earlier pessimism was unfounded. I guess that’s what being a Villa fun does to you!!

Sid4ever Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) We’ve got John McGinn Super John McGinn I just don’t think you understand He’s Aston Villa’s man He’s better than Zidane We’ve got super John McGinn Hopefully as some have said a friendly with Hibs at Easter Road would be brilliant Edited August 8, 2018 by Sid4ever Alcohol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to play a similar role to Hourihane, and I've seen Celtic fans saying they wanted him to replace Brown, so I'd guess he'd play the opposite side to Grealish against stronger sides with someone like Whelan/Jedinak playing and maybe at the base of a Grealish - McGinn - Hourihane three against weaker sides. Assuming Grealish stays that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_Zooms Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Now, we can sell or loan some or more of the following: Lansbury, Doyle- Hayes, Bjarnason, Jedinak, Gardner, Tshibola, Lyden. And Grealish. FFP - Sorted!? Edited August 8, 2018 by Django_Zooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted August 8, 2018 Author Share Posted August 8, 2018 This one feels right, he's 23 so young but with plenty of experience, already an international, Hibs fans raving about his attitude as much his ability, beat a big club to sign him. He's British, so he 'gets it', he'll have a few Scottish folk here to look after him, spoke well, seems pleased to be here. Welcome John, this could be the McGinning of something special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheepyvillian Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 This signing has the feel of hand in glove about it. I've a feeling this kid is going to become a Villa legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted August 8, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2018 I like that he spoke about the vision of the owner and the club. He's clearly been sold an ambitious future for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keener window-cleaner Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 (edited) Welcome Johnny boy! It says a lot when a player gets so much praise from fans and manager and leaves on good terms. It will be interesting to see where he will play. Looks like left CM in the 4-1-4-1/4-3-3 we play would suit him, though thats where Jack plays. I'm very excited by this signing, and at that fee it seems to be super business, way to go Brucie and the new owners! Also, I love it when other teams fans come on to the forum and share their views, must say the Hibs fans have been the best bunch yet! Already have a sweet spot for Hibs. And agree that Edinburg is a lovely city! Edited August 8, 2018 by Keener window-cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Im going to reserve judgement about this signing until I see him play a few games. I’m seeing a lot of happiness on this thread right now and even well done Bruce. We know how quickly things can change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
