effing hell some people are clueless. Allen is a tidy player and thats it. Similar to crosas - another kds favourite. Mcginn is quality. Edited by TheMaestro, 30 Jun 2018, 11:01 PM.

You've said more complimentary about Allan's ability in that post than I've ever said in my life. Clueless is about right pal

yeh cause performances in per-season friendlies will suddenly make us realise that a not quite good enough playmaker would stop us signing a holding midfielder who might come good somewhere down the line if anything stops us signing McGinn it won't be because Allen managed to have a couple of decent appearances against no one |

It’s not just about performances in pre-season. It will be everything from conditioning to attitude. Maybe a year of consistent football will have done him the world of good. Everyone is judging what they’ve saw previously. Maybe he’s sorted himself out. His ability hasn’t been the issue, it’s been his fitness and lack of power. Maybe he’s now hitting targets in training, he previously couldn’t manage. Time will tell |

Club Captain

Hes not quick enough, fit enough, or strong enough to play central midfield. His range of passing not up to level of ntcham for example. Nice and crisp with the short stuff in fairness. Doesnt score enough goals. Hes lazy and lacks concentration to play at the top level. Theres a reason why the boy has never sustained himself at a better team than say, dundee or hibs. He wont be playin many games for celtic in the coming season, thats for sure. |

Herd is probably the right word concerning McGregor, a real insight into those lacking imagination and patience. Anyone can recognise a quality player in a good side, supporting a young, developing talent in a team who were below par isn't in everyone's wheelhouse. Edited by Pussyfoot, 1 Jul 2018, 07:00 AM.

This is absolutely spot on if the players are reversed, Allan can show glimpses of real ability but lacks strength and stamina whereas McGinn has shown the same quality but with real strength and stamina

If we after McGinn, there is a very good chance he will end up here, as there doesn't appear to be another big club after him. It could be that we have backed off as Hibs are asking too much. As time passes, pressure will increase on Hibs to do a deal. The other possibility is that he is not the No. 1 option. The fact that we could be selling 2 of our players for very big money might also change the options. |

It’s difficult to judge the level that McGinn is at when watching him play against the rest, but his performance in the 2-2 game at Parkhead last October was the turning point for me. He more than matched up with our midfield, his range of passing was brilliant and topped it off with 2 goals. If we hadn’t sold Armstrong I would be against it, but with Stu gone, I think McGinn would be a good signing and with Brendan coaching him could go on to be a really good player for us. |

I seem to recall the same when we were after Brown, not good enough v potential camps, let’s just say a divided opinion, I see the same traits in McGinn, he’s a decent enough player, put him in our current team and no disrespect to Hibs then in my opinion he can only improve, not saying he will replace Scott but we could do a lot worse, hopefully we can get him with Allan as a make weight. |

Again, that doesn't sound too promising to me. It indicates a definite interest in him from another club, Celtic know about it, and aren't batting it away. Edit: And nor should we bat it away, if the bid is good enough. Edited by san meegs, 1 Jul 2018, 10:33 AM.

Signing McGinn makes no sense to me. He will not be a first pick at this point, plays in an area where we already have too many players and is reportedly costing £3m. Give him another season of games in the top flight with Hibs, and if he continues to develop sign him on a pre-contract in January. Use that £3m towards a player in a position that will definitely strengthen us. |

Allan is the better footballer imo but isn’t mobile enough. I’d like to see him as a squad filler as opposed to Christie, who to me doesn’t have any skill that particularly stands out. Allan can see a killer pass. |

We need to make moves soon surely? This cannot be another summer when we don't improve markedly as a team. |

Allan has had his chance with us. He's not 21 or 22 coming back from loan. He's not kicked a ball for two seasons for Celtic and we've managed fine in his absence. Tidy enough player but couldn't step up before so not sure what's really changed in that time. Edited by Ned Rise, 1 Jul 2018, 11:25 AM.
