thabucks Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 I’d be ok with selling him if we get a good enough offer. Not just based on tonight but he goes missing, he’s getting older and value will only diminish and think he can be replaced and that profit can then be reinvested as we’re gunna have to be savvy with creating money through transfer dealings due to the uefa cap. Yeah I said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Poor from Ginny, they read his arse turns and stopped him doing it. 4th goal comes from stupidly trying a long ball that gets cut out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 Not a CM. Play him as one of the wide midfielders or behind Watkins but doesn't have the ability to play that role in CM, too busy trying to battle and play the man when that job is more about positioning and passing ability.

Yeah I said it. He's been absolutely unbelievable this season and his resale value can't be much. Just an absolutely ridiculous comment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an absolutely ridiculous comment. He’s been good as have all our players but wouldn’t say he’s been unbelievable whatsoever… I’d only said sell him if we got a good enough offer. Most of the team are available for the right price and that would have to be met or exceeded - cannot see it but I’d be ok if we did.

It's like the moron a few rows behind me who screams that we should resign Bertrand traore as soon as we misplace a pass. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been nothing short of unbelievable for a sustained period considering we all though his ceiling was exactly that. He's been so so consistently good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 They set up to stop our midfield playing, they didn't allow the half turns in the first half, and they cut off all the passing channels. Granted, he was poor, but I think we played into their hands a little bit with how they set up. Neither SJM or Dougie had a good game, for the same reason.

We can secure Champions League same weekend. They were above us until that clearing in the woods hit Jack. That was 5 years ago? McGinn is one of the reasons why that's the case. A club legend already. Perspective. Edited May 3 by GlobalVillan 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 This might be controversial, but Martinez should be captain in my book leads like a leader and steps up when the team needs him. McGinn goes missing far to often when we're under the pump 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheVilla26 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I agree that Emi should be Captain. He has the best winning mentality of any player we have and that alone can do wonders when the chips are down. McGinn has been a brilliant player for us. But I do fear, if we want to be that team challenging for things and getting Champions League every season, that we need to improve on him. I'm not saying sell him but I think we've seen him reach his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthEastVillan Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Meh I thought Ginny did OK last night. For about 50 mins he was shielding the ball well and starting off most of our attacks. Olympiacos did well in preventing our passing routes and a bit of a lack of movement from our front 4 didn't help. Yeah he did go missing in the last 25 mins but to be fair so did everyone else.

MikeMcKenna Posted May 3 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3 SJM did make several mistakes last night, but he wasn’t the reason we lost. They were full of energy whereas we looked like we had run out of steam, especially SJM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both pair well with the other options, just not eachother. This goes back to Dean Smith's first season in the Prem and hasn't really changed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas10 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Come on John… we need Suoer John McGinn for these last few games… Been utterly immense under Unai and a huge part of our progress and a big factor in where we are and what we are trying to achieve… Don’t turn on the players who have taken us all this way and put in so many monster performances… Time for us fans to show the kind of loyalty we demand from the players… and appreciation… anyone can show support when things are rosy, true fans are those who stick with it and be supportive in the difficult moments too… have some perspective. let’s not be fickle, arrogant and entitled which seems to be the trend these days… show some class, like our manager and players UTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philosopher Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 John and Doug have had to play many games this season. There are both play in their secondary positions. So I don't believe we should be too harsh on them. Doug needs to be the more adventurous of the 2 6's, but with Mcginn he can't be that. McGinn on his game makes us tick. He isn't quite top draw. He and Gallagher are similar types of players, but everytime we play Chelsea, Gallagher outshines him. They played in the same position last Saturday and Gallagher bossed the game.

McGinn has played brilliantly in loads of games this season, then he has an off night playing out of position, when Luiz and lots of others were also poor and suddenly he is crap. Mind boggling.
