I think he will look great in the hoops. He has a look about him that he wouldnt look out of place in and old black and white picture with old style kit.

He can be good for us, let's hope that when he steps up the level that he steps up his game. I haven't seen much of him but what I have seen is good enough to make me think he can do it.

Passing is erratic and for someone who is supposedly quite powerful he spends a lot of the game on his arse. His decision making is also very poor.

We don't need him. He's been decent in league games but he's been shown as average when he played internationally.

I wouldn't waste money on him and would be disappointed if we parted serious cash for him.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Sounds like a bit of a stretch mate when McCarthy signed for Wigan in July 2009 for 1.2m. Mowbray was only appointed a month before that.
Dont let anyone kid you that we knocked back james McCarthy, it didnae happen, we tried to steal him by telling him to run down his contract at hamilton :thumbsup:
Unbelievable if that's true

Mowbray said he wouldn't improve the XI immediately so thought against signing him

Which at the time was probably true.

McCarthy probably wouldn't have developed as well as he did if we signed him.

We’re off to Armenia tomorrow so can probably rule him out for the first round. Can’t see us of all clubs getting it done in 2 days.

A lot of people on here thought we'd overpaid for Brown when we signed him. Doubt many still think so.

Much more in favour of this than I was of the Hayes move at the time.

If he is then even 3 million would be an absolute steal.

How much do Hibs want for McGinn?
Hibs are convinced that he is worth 4-5 million :lol:

2-3 million with a player on loan should hopefully do it

If the guy had 2 or 3 years left on his deal, they might have a point. He's doesn't, they don't.

If someone at Celtic was to give an honest appraisal of his value, regardless of his contract, we might go to £3m or so. Within seconds of him signing for us, we'd be saying he's worth at least £5m. We suffer from the same thing when English clubs bid for our players.

The headline is click bait and in no way reflects what Rodgers said.

That being said I think it is only a matter of time before a deal is done.

Even so, like Hendry & Morgan, we'll probably now give the other club what they want.
We low balled Dundee only to pay the full price at the end of the window +causing Hendry to miss the dubai trip.
I reckon Brendan would love to have McGinn on the away leg, even just for the experience.
I want us to keep Morgan & I think we will going by comments.

Even if his contract had expired, we would sill have to have paid a fee because of his age.
