Farlz Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 One of the best debuts I've seen, he was absolutely superb. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Excellent stuff. Hassled the opposition, wanted the ball, beautiful crossing and seems to have a shot on him too. Best Villa debut that I can remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alakagom Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 He is what I hoped Hourihane or Lansbury would have been when we bought them. We finally struck some gold. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Just hope we can fit him and Hourahane in the same team. How much did McGinn cost us again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mjmooney Posted August 11, 2018 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2018 Couple of things about Hibs fans: 1. Back in '82, the night we won the EC, I drank a load of lager watching the game on TV, and then rushed down the pub for a few late ones. A couple of Scots lads said I looked happy, I explained, and proceeded to celebrate together in some style. They were Hibs supporters. 2. Bringing it right up to date, at my daughter's wedding yesterday, my neice brought her new Scottish boyfriend. He was a really nice bloke, we got on like a house on fire, and only much later did I discover he came from a family of passionate Hibbees. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I like him. Also as others have pointed out. The way Hibs fans love him, as well as the little I saw today bodes very well. Is he what Glen Whelan was meant to be? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s been a few figures getting banded about, we apparently valued him at £4m but we were owe St Mirren a 33% sell on fee, if we got the £4m I think that would take our fee down to about £2.7m so i suspect that’s where that figure comes from. St Mirren apparently confirmed the sale of SJM has meant they’ve now beaten they’re previous record sale fee which I think was £1m so the fee must have been between £3-4m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Looks born to wear the claret and blue. At long last a proper box to box midfielder. Think him Grealish and Hourihane in home games will see us score a lot of goals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 If we can somehow get this guy and Hourihane into the same team we will run people to death. I believe the technical term used to describe his play is 'busy c***' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not rubbing it in) Ah I know you're not mate. He had a year left on his contract so we could have got nothing at all soon enough. Wigan at home this early isn't big game in relation to the season; wait until the business end when you're up against a title rival away. The bigger the game the bigger the performance is how SJM works. To use an old phrase: you ain't seen nothing yet! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippo Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Fantastic debut - he was everywhere in that 2nd half - that block he put in towards the end was sublime. (I am almost embarrassed how good he was - as I know we have some hibs fans on here !) For the old farts on here - he reminded me of Steve Mcmahon 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macandally Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Put a number of the other lazy arses to shame with work rate and effort. Will be a fans favourite for sure, great debut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think him Grealish and Hourihane in home games will see us score a lot of goals It's the McGinns, the Huttons, and The Chesters of the football world which make Aston Villa what I know today. The Ginolas, Mersons, Grealishes and so on I love too but they are just the icing! Knew nothing about him before he was signing. However will reiterate Hibernian fans comments on him, their support, well wishes, admiration, and his little performance today have me a bit tingly for the weird looking Scottish f#cker. Got a good feeling about him. Edited August 11, 2018 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
