Subjective measurement. Also coming from a fan base clearly eager for McGeouch to sign a new contract. When McGeouch had a year left last year, no one was mentioning a move of £2m plus from Hibs. McGinn played more games, played more minutes, scored more goals, assisted more goals. |

Like I said fair enough, scouts don`t generally base their opinions on fans likes or dislikes.Mcginn is very much a known quantity to our club. Hibs fans subjectively rated Dylan higher and clearly have a less evolved way of informing their opinions than ours, I can accept that as they`re mostly from Embra. |

The thing with McGeouch is we already have a similar player in Ntcham who is also levels above him. We need a McGinn type player rather than a McGeouch. |

Replacing armstrong will cost a lot of money, thankfully we have that so should spend it. Ollie ntcham is a better player than armstrong and was signed last summer for good money. Why cant we do something similar this season and improve the standard of the team immediately? |

McGinn might be better doing the job that Brown did before we signed him, running around closing down things Kouassie (the little we have seen of him) is much better (than McGinn) at doing the job that Brown does now, sitting back protecting the back line and make an attacking pass now and again IF we sign McGinn he would have to adapt to a hole new style of football - only took Brown 7-8 years not to chasing down everything without sight of what we behind him - hopefully if the transfer goes though McGinn will take less time to adapt Don't see the need of McGinn, but if that is what BR wants, then go for it |

Whether it be in terms of football style or on purely results, Ntcham did not improve Celtic last season, because by any measure we were not as good as the season before despite largely the same outcomes. The evidence is there in spades suggesting this. However nobody in their right mind will lay that at his door. None of this is an exact science or a perfectly linear model. McGinn is in scope because of his known availability, his familiarity with the league and the club, his likely desire to play for the club, and the fact he available for an outlay that is within our bracket. The club will always make signings like this and it always has. What seems to be changing is the support's sniffiness towards them being made. |

If it's true that both us and Sevco are in for the Liverpool Winger I can see Wilson Pickett Anfiled and finally sign In the Midnight hour. Maybe if we bought him a brand new Mustang (1965) we could get it over the line. |

I get what you are saying but I see him more of an immediate Armstrong replacement rather than Brown. Maybe over years he can develop his game under Rodgers to fit into Browns role but I've heard they see Kouassi filling that in years to come and that they rate him very highly. |

Also onto the boy Wilson from Liverpool, surely we could push for a permanent deal? |

I admit the 3m spent on Kouassi does look strange but I still don’t think having him is reason for not signing McGinn. His passing is every bit as ropey as McGinn’s imo. McGinn is box to box, two different players. |

His lack of game time has been odd but I think it's mostly down to how much the team struggles to function without Brown. Nothing really against Kouassi in footballing terms just a lack of leadership on the pitch I think. |

I'd be happy enough to give allan another shot, I think he is a talented player. |

There has been times I have watched us this year and thought we could do with a McGinn on the pitch. We have technical ability in abundance compared to anyone else in the league and we still couldn't break a lot of teams down. McGinn is very direct, hungry and has a decent long shot on him. Maybe right now he is not on par technically with our other midfielders but I feel like we missed Armstrong's direct running and energy when he went off the boil and perhaps McGinn could add this. Plus, at 23 he is only going to improve under a great coach in Rodgers. |

I actually agree with this and said it at times last season when Rogic was out we missed a creative spark, he's not in the same league as Rogic however given the amount of the ball we have in Scotland we could certainly use him as back up in this role. |
