4 squad places reserved for club-trained players, 4 for association trained (either us or any other Scottish club) - player's actual nationality doesn't come in to it. Off the top of my head we've got Tierney, Forrest & McGregor as our club trained options (Ajer will probably be one in the future, but still qualifies as a B-list under 21 at the moment). Current association trained slots would go to four out of Broony, Griffiths, Armstrong, Gordon, Bain, Morgan, Christie and (if signed) McGinn......so four out of those 8 would be treated as just general squad players for CL/Europa purposes. So, no real need to bring in any extra association trained players just for the sake of filling the 4 reserved slots as we already have plenty in the squad. If we sign him then it's because Brendan thinks he can do a job (or at least thinks there's enough of a chance of him becoming a first team asset to make him worth the transfer fee and coaching effort) |

Found myself nodding along with this, thinking "this is a good post with some extremely valid points"...and then I got to the last line and thought "this is a effing brilliant post, get the wee guy signed up right now!" This is how it feels to be Celtic

Can you see McGinn holding his own in the CL? 2.5m for a guy we don’t need to win domestically and is unlikely to help us reach the next level in Europe. If we’re spending 2.5m on a player, there must be better value out there. Not for me |

Usual nonsense, McGinn played well in his international debut, he has plenty development in him and wer5e people saying Scott Brown would lead us for 10 years and play in the champions league to the standard he he was when he was at Hibs? You need a player in Browns mould with the drive and determination Scott has. . . McGinn has that. Edited by He Cometh, 28 May 2018, 04:15 PM.

Lawwell and Brendan have said on umpteen occasions that the model is to make CL players and punt them on when appropriate. We'll get one ready for it straight off the bat here and there, but for the most part they'll need to develop with us a bit first. McGinn fits. Got the basics, a bit of magic in him and he gets tore in. Armstrong will mibby be away as well, so he's another HG player for the CL or that. |

Armstrong is for the off. And has been bang average for 75% of his time here. Bitton is another who is pretty average and in any case is a back up centre half. Kouassi made a promising start but seems to have stalled - a loan deal for him would make sense. We play a shampoo load of games and need a large squad. Broonie cant continue to play every game. When he is out id rather mcginn in the team than any of our current midfielders |

I'm not sure you realise how little a sum £2.5m is nowadays. |

I like McGinn. Think he's a bit rough around the edges to be playing the all action role he has at Hibs, but has the making of a fine midfielder. |

Agreed and also the rumour was that we give them Scott Allan as well. So in effect, the price is higher. Even if it's argued that we should be, at the moment, we can't really be spending that sort of money on a SPFL squad player. |

For who? He’d be one of the most expensive players in the squad. |

The reality is that BR doesn't rotate his squad that much. Whether we agree with that or not is irrelevant. Given that we have to be pretty selective on how we spend our money, I just don't see the point of spending a fair amount of it on a squad player who won't start if everyone is fit. He also plays in an area where we are reasonably well covered and for me, we need to think about getting better in other areas of the team. |

If we sign him I will be seriously underwhelmed. Not as good as our first 4 choice centre midfielders and I suspect if koussi was at hibs he would be seen as superior to McGinn also. |

Let's put it this way. It's easier to see McGinns potential than it was to see the same in Hendry. |

Spot on. . . the usual suspects who want the finished article in all the time derided the signing of Armstrong as well. |
