Plays with heart and has bags of skill. This. McGinn has a wand of a left foot. However, after that Brentford thug put that x rated stamp on his calf, I just hope he'll get protection from refs and his team mates. I got a horrible feeling he's gonna be targeted just like grealish is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As our Hibs fans who visited told us, he works his socks off all game long. Coupled with this, he can pass, cross, shoot and tackle better than most in the squad. Real deal. Absolute bargain too. Great to see him doing so well. Enjoyed watching the game last night, thought he had a decent game. interesting you’re talking about him being a bargain, what’s the general consensus with regards to the fee that was paid? Up here it’s anything ranging between £2.1m-£4m. Tbh I was a bit disappointed to hear the commentator saying last night it was less than £3m. incidentally, Celtic were trying to buy him for £1.5m and the general tone from the (Glasgow) press was that Hibs were in the wrong for standing in his way of his dream move. In the off chance you ever wonder how Scottish football clubs outside of the old firm don’t compete, there’s your answer. Thankfully most of us are now on a stable enough footing financially to be able to reject those offers now. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd have been a steal at that fee 25 years ago. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the fee was £4m that would mean we’d have got the £2.7m you say so I wonder if we’ve accepted that and passed the responsibility of the sell on % to you to pay St Mirren (or negotiate a different deal). I may just be clutching at straws though and tbf if it is £2.7m but with sell on or other incentives then it could still work out a good deal for us with the market being the way it is in England.

Yes the fees mentioned were much bigger, but its still the same thing, big clubs trying fleece smaller clubs of their best assets for peanuts. It's why a hate the game sometimes, but then i guess everyone does it. We've done it to you (no disrespect), and with the money we gave you you'll probably go and nick tbe best player of a club of a smaller stature than your own. It hurts, but i guess thats football. Out of interest, and excuse my ignorance of Scottish football, what does £2.7m represent to yourselves? Is it sufficient to bring in 1 or 2 replacements?

If it is £2.7m then it will help but it won’t go that far tbh. We would have to give 33% of that to St Mirren (I can’t be bothered doing the maths), we also need to build an indoor training facility as part of a project to improve Scottish football (project brave), that’s going to cost around £1m. The remaining money will help increase our maximum wage a bit but we probably still won’t be able to buy a player for decent money, any player costing anything more than a couple hundred grand would want wages we can’t afford or couldn’t sustain once the transfer money goes. It’s a bit rubbish but I’m alright with it, I like the fact we’re bringing through young players in Scotland now and I prefer that to spending fortunes on garbage that don’t care as they know they’ll be off in 6 months anyway. I look at all the money being spent in English football and I don’t really envy your game at all, I’m sure you’d rather be out of it but I prefer watching the English Championship to the Premiership for those reasons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - but equally how did he not see Jedis elbow moments before, as we clearly did from the Upper Holte ! He wasn’t biased, or, in my view, bottling things, he was just dreadful.

If he was £10m he'd be considered a bargain to be honest, looking at all the terrible players we've spunked 8 figures on in the past ten years. I think he's already my favourite player! I can see why you folks loved him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
