You can't sign a first team player off a direct rival in the Prem for less than £25m, probably more. Plus get that muck into the transfer thread, keep John's tidy for inevitable praise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was plan to shut them up. but we have to stop saying that to ourselves....otherwise we will never get out of these doldrums. why did Robinho sign for Man City as they were trying to escape from the doldrums? I would guess huge wages and Mansours declaration of his ambitions. If we are going to sign 3/4 top class players it will require huge wages, huge fee's and a huge dollop of persuasive ambition from the powers that be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But its ok for other clubs to come cherry picking our first team players. I just don't get your point. As for the last line, I was answering another poster.....but I will ignore the unecessary gutter talk as a poor attempt to make your point.

A'Villan Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 McGinn is someone we should be looking to keep without any doubt in my mind. I'd even make him captain over Grealish or Mings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Captain all day though as he leads by example with the effort he expends (presumably also in training) and is probably one of our more approachable players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vice Captain all day though as he leads by example with the effort he expends (presumably also in training) and is probably one of our more approachable players. I'm in two minds about that, I would say that you are right in that he doesn't get vocal with instructions or encouragement. However, it's not everybody's style to come into a team and be vocal with encouragement or expectations. McGinn is walking into the biggest opportunity of his career and I'm pretty confident he wants to earn his stripes on the pitch with the way he plays before he assumes any leadership role. And I have a deep respect for that. Chemistry manifests in a myriad of ways, but don't assume it will gel in time, respect can be hard to come by and footballer's are human and fallible, some of them will get dark with you over the most trivial of commentary. Many of them are playing to look out for number one. So, with all that in mind, look at the passion McGinn plays with and how animated he gets with himself and tell me he's not busting a gut to be the best he can be for the team, and tell me that if you saw how much he cared about the team, that it wouldn't pump you up to play your best too, that's assuming you too are a player with an ounce of interest in how the team performs. Tammy Abraham had a similar mindset, only I think Tammy took it upon himself to assume a leadership role. I don't have any doubts about whether it's the same in training, to improve exponentially and burst onto the scene in the manner that McGinn has takes dedicated work. It's that work ethic and desire to be the best you can be in every moment that drives people to deliver every time they are called on. Eleven of those please. It's as Muhammad Ali said, on champions, "They have to have the skill and will, but the will must be stronger than the skill" I'm not saying take the captaincy off Grealish, but I believe that should McGinn add that vocal aspect to his leadership quality, he'd be a gem of a captain. I think he wants to prove himself as a footballer first, which is fair enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grealish is not going to be here much longer so not worth talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Vlaar and Clark was much better than him, At the start of the season, he was great, when we had Heaton in goal with Mings and Engels as the centre backs and Nakamba holding. Also, with Guilbert and Targett as the full backs. Hopefully, we can get back to that when the season resumes Edited May 3, 2020 by sir_gary_cahill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vlaar & Clark “much better”.......seriously?! Had you have said Vlaar & Clark were better, that might have been debatable. Sure, Mings has dropped form since his England cap, but he earned that cap for very good reason. For me Mings is a good example of a leader, not exemplary as a player, but a very decent player and leader. I think you’ve conveniently forgotten the rickets that Vlaar & Clark both dropped during their time at the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't even think it is controversial to say that. We all love him for what he achieved last season but that's past now. He needs to deliver in the current. Either way we're getting off topic.

We want a few who are inspiring and have an infectious personality to lead....those are usually ball winners or CDM's, with a combative nature.

Let's discuss John McGinn Then I'm afraid I cannot share your opinion, which I find to be very controversial indeed. Mings has become an England international due to the performances that he has produced for us this season. It's not easy to gain an England cap at Villa these days, just ask Jack! If Tyrone were to leave us in the summer, he would command a fee in excess of £35m (in my humble opinion) and clubs do not pay that sort of money or anywhere near it, for "shocking" players. Getting back on topic, he along with Jack, Tom Heaton and McGinn, are again in my opinion, the players that have looked most comfortable in the PL with us this season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Has been floating about online that McGinn is the Villa player with asthma. Sounds like shit stirring from opposition fans that read Villatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 That rumour was started by this tweet today... One of our players has asthma as confirmed by Dean Smith, but looking at this guy's other tweets I don't think we can take his word that that player is McGinn.
