The sooner we sign John mcginn the sooner we can talk about someone else..
And for the record, I think he would be a good signing for us.
I do agree with the other posters 're, right back, left back, right winger, left winger, centre half, but I cannot see that all happening.
The more I think of it the less convinced I am that we will sign first team players for any of those positions..
A centre half maybe , if we sell one of ours...
I think that our proper first eleven at the start of the season will be players in our squad right now..
I would guess that we may get two or three prospects tho...
Again, I think you're right.

I think we'll sign John McGinn, one defender, although who's guess as to which position

And that'll probably be it.

I'd be disappointed with that, and not because we've signed John McGinn. Because we've not covered the other areas in the team which urgently need looking at.

If we go through another window and don’t sign cover for LB it’s a disgrace

Agree on that.

Hopefully the rumours about Miller going on loan are true, it gives the boy game time and surely means we'll sign cover.

How can we seriously not sign a right winger? We’ve lost Roberts and Musonda, surely we have to replace them?

McGinn will do well for us.

It'll be nice to look back on this thread.
I hope he does but I don’t rate him at all. Where does he play in our midfield?
You heard any more on the potential deal?

Pretty sure McGinn is on his way. The debate reminds me very much of when Broony came. I remember all the wise men like me saying we had signed the wrong player, Thomson was the class act etc. McGinn would seem to have quite a lot of the desire, drive and other attributes of a young Broony (though nowhere near as wild!)
I keep reading this stuff but it’s nothing like when we signed Brown. For two years, Scott Brown had been constantly linked with elite EPL clubs (particularly Spurs) as well as us and Rangers. He was generally viewed as one of the top prospects in Britain. There was certainly a debate about Brown’s ability AFTER we signed him because a lot of folk were underwhelmed by his displays during his first few seasons, but prior to signing him scouts from all over the UK were turning up at Hibs games to watch him. McGinn, by comparison, is being linked with Derby and Birmingham. A more accurate comparison would be the reaction to signing Johnny Hayes last summer.

Why would we have to replace a guy who couldn't get a game?

We should sign McGinn and loan him to Aberdeen for a bit; just to see if he can make it.

Don't sign McGinn
please don't sign McGinn
I just don't think you understand
and if you sign McGinn
Johnny McGinn
You're gonna have a riot on your hands!

I'd sign him but, I think he'd be a steal at 2 million and handy for the SPL when we need to rest key players before or after a European game.

Just thinking the same. Injury to KT heaven forbid... And we're up shampoo street at left back (Calvin Miller is decent no more). Same as most posters gk/cb/rb/, winger needed but wishful thinking and never gonna happen. Hopeful Brendan and Pete have got something up their sleeve though.

Not for a first choice. But back up when we can move to a back three? I don't expect us to invest greatly in providing a back up left back. Not saying I wouldn't like better cover, but we have other priorities.

We wouldn’t be able to play McGregor, Edouard or Sinclair as a WB. Johnny Hayes possibly but don’t think he’s the answer either.

We’d get away with it in domestic games, not in Europe.

Cover at LB is essential

Dont think McGinn is what we need, dont see him improving to a level where he starts or contributes. Dont see what you guys rate in him.
McGinn was a stand out at both games I saw at Celtic park last season.
He was involved in everything positive about Hibs and scored the crucial
goals for them.
I see him as long term, and under proper guidance through Brendan and his backroom staff,
he would be a solid addition to the squad.
