These are the same McGinn arguments and counters that have been running for years now. May as well sign him just to end the relentless natter. |

McGinn is a safe move in the current turnover of players. A known quantity who will improve our squad and be an important player over the season, he's not going to bring us up a level in Europe. I'd rather us concentrate on defenders who will be competent on the European stage and then worry about improving the midfield. |

Is McGinn a bigger Celtic fan than KT? |

A safe move would be someone who’d help us qualify for the Champions League, like an experienced centre back or top goalie. McGinn would be a punt and the exact opposite of a safe signing - unless you just mean that financially his signing wouldn’t bankrupt us if it didn’t work out. |

Some folk on here appear to be looking for us to bring in players to bolster our chances of getting through the qualifiers. I'd have thought history would have taught us that isn't going to happen. In any event, do we really need to improve the squad to see us through the first couple of rounds, say? |

Even if he does improve it will be gradule and not immediately & I have my doubts he can improve to the level we require. |

We beat Rosenborg 1-0 on aggregate last season with a defence that is significantly stronger than the one likely to play against them this season. On the plus side, having proper strikers (particularly Dembele) this year is a significant boost. |

that might improve him, it wouldn't improve us as a team. McGinn is an unnecessary signing, and will spend more time on the bench than in the starting eleven. |

I'm sure people said the same about McGregor not long ago. Forrest too. Brown two years ago. Ntcham from time to time. And Rogic even after he came back from his loan. There's barely a player in the team who hasn't had the 'not good enough' treatment, and that includes Griffiths, Edouard and Dembele. Rogic will probably get jet lagged at some point, McGregor will go through one of his quiet phases, Brown will need a rest, and the option of some extra energy and a ball winner might not be a bad thing in some games. I think there are other areas of the team in glaring need of strengthening to the point that it's almost comical, but if we're going to get into the CL and/or EL, then we might need more of a hand domestically. We weren't as good last year on that front and it only takes the same plus two turnaround results in sevco games to make the league a real sweat. I'm sure it'll be comfortable in the end but I don't think we, ie the management team, should be complacent about it. |

McGinn will prove a good buy, IMO. I've liked him since his St Mirren days and thought we might have gone for him then. He's gallus in a way that neither Armstrong nor McGregor are, and that's one of the things I like about him. For the money, I reckon he'd be a Ronnie Glavin or Stevie Murray-type buy who, like them, would prove his worth even though we all wanted better at the time. But it's getting squeaky-bum time for the defence! |

Mcginn's being done because we can do it . It can't be a priority for the team as he is very unlikely to help us in qualifiers Gives me the fear when i see us spending money we don't need to spend on areas we don't need covered Just like Hayes you can hear them spouting mcginn's name as how we have strengthened when the real area of concern isn't addressed properly |

BR does want him, if the price is right but we are not Paddys first choice, he believes he is good enough to play regularly in the EPL now. We were probably quoted the fee above a few weeks ago when we asked. |

those comparing the context of mcginn and hayes transfers are way off the mark hayes was bought as cover, mcginn is being bought for the future and he will have a big future with us i also dont think KT will go anywhere until after the 10 and when he does it will be old trafford he ends up at for a lot more than £25m |

Rosenborg are, thankfully, pish this year. They aren't as toothless though which is a bit of a worry. They also need to deal with the best Icelandic club squad of living memory before us whilst in shoogly form, so we might get lucky. |

The rumour was he was offered to us, by City. Not the other way round. I'd guess most rumours are pish, but the KT thread is in meltdown because of one. Probably right that McGinn will sign because he is an easy signing, we know him & have all seen what he can do. The Manager thinks that's something we can use & the players speak well of him. I think we're now terrified of making poor choices, like Ronnie, Pukki, Bangura, Boerighter or dare I say Congreton.. Sticking to what we know is thee safe way for them to do business, we'll pay top money for Edouard after we know him well enough. I guess that's why we keep going back to England for players, even though it's seen as poor value - we at least now the players & aren't as scared to make bids for them. We spent ages on Paddy last season, because we knew him very well. |
