Who at Hibs was a better player last year? In my opinion he is. Against Celtic he was a stand out. I can’t recall a player giving us more of a headache than McGinn. Who would you say is a better player? |

Mcgeouch won Hibs players and fans player of the year awards. HIbs guys might know better. |

So why has he ended up at League 1 Sunderland and why wasn’t he chased off a top half Championship team or even Celtic? |

Because Sunderland will offer more money and Celtic aren`t interested. |

Away from home in Europe I would expect to see McGinn offer our defence more protection the Armstrong (fine player) did. I would also expect him to be more of a goal threat and keep possession better too. |

£1m plus Allan and a player on loan? Miller, Ralston, Kouassi, Johnston? |

We signed the best player in the league outside Celtic last summer. It pretty much couldnt have gone any worse. With regards to the strong league, I dont agree. Most competitive, yes, but not strong. Scottish football seems to have this annual cycle where the league is terrible, then we build ourselves up over the course of a season into thinking its good again. We're only about 3 weeks away from it being utter shampooe. |

McGinn was nominated for Scottish player of the year. McGeouch wasn't. That tells you everything or nothing depending on how you skew your argument. McGinn has scored more goals and has made more assists whilst playing from a more defensive role. I like McGeouch, he looks like the classier player of the two, but I don't think he has as big an impact on games as McGinn. |

Sunderland offer more money than a team in league above them? Celtic weren’t interested for a reason. |

I think McGinn is a player in desperate need of a settled role in a team. At Hibs he seems to be a bit too much of an all-action type player. If we can get him in, and get him disciplined enough to play whatever specific role the manager has in mind for him, he could be a very shrewd signing. |

Kris Boyd was nominated too, we`re not signing him thankfully. FWIW I know a lot of our fans like him as he`s one of us but I know a lot of Hibees and one of my mates sons has a very good job at Hibs and they all say the same. Mcgeouch was their best player and will be their biggest loss. Edited by Maleys Spirit, 3 Jul 2018, 10:21 AM.

McGinn has some way to go before he would get in Celtic team. His ball retention is poor. Hibs play him further forward to avoid loosing ball in dangerous positions. When he tried to play 'Brown' role for Scotland he was liability. |

Ok, well in my opinion McGinn is the more effective player for them and his goals, assists and performances against us, Sevco, Hearts and Aberdeen are enough to convince me he'd be a worthwhile acquisition. |

Yeah fair point. Hayes hasn’t worked out at all. He hit like 24 assists for Aberdeen that season before which is crazy. Leg break was a sore one but I think he would have still struggled without it. I do feel McGinn is different in sense he’s younger and has more time for development. I think the league is stronger. The final table showed it. |

From the Hibs lads I speak to its similar, they are more gutted about Dylan, and rate him a lot higher. |

Fair enough and you`re perfectly enttiled to it, it`s not worth a lengthy argument but these guys watched them both week in, week out and voted for Dylan who couldn`t get game time for us. |

But I dont understand why we would pay £2m or more - he stays at Hibs, gets the games and we sign him on a free at the turn of the year, no? |
