£3m with a year left on his contract - that would make him worth, what, £5m with a few years on his contract? Not a fecking chance. I’m not keen on this at all & no way should we be going anywhere near £3m. |

I get not everyone fancies him and we have other options in that position, but to call him 'pish' or 'shampooe at football' is laughable. |

We already have a £3m player who hardly ever gets a game in Eboue Kouassi there's no need to add another to the collection. |

There’s definitely a lot of growth left in a player when he joins a club with better coaches, facilities, teammates etc. Look at Armstrong Boyata Griffiths etc. Not wains when we signed them but they improved tenfold working at Celtic. |

McGinn is experienced at this level something scott allan was not when we bought him plus with the better manager and coaching staff this time i don't think he will be another allan |

Anyone who would've been happy with £3million for Armstrong was an idiot. Same as being happy going to £3million for McGinn is idiotic. Different players & different markets. |

We’d need at least one injury before McGinn plays in the CL. What if playing for us drives his value up to more than we paid for him? Who gives a eff. Hibs would still play him because he would still be their best player. |

Did he? Their players player of the year and player of the year went to McGeoch, who we released. I know that doesn't make McGinn crap by default but it does give you an idea of his level. We'd be mad to pay any more than £1m for him imo and even then I wouldn't go that far. Hibs can ask all they want but they are the weakest hand in this particular game of poker and no amount of bluffing will change that. We want the player it seems and he wants to come to us. We by and large will dictate to them and not vice versa. Edited by PMSW, 8 Jul 2018, 05:04 PM.

I don’t think we should up our bid, he’s nowhere near worth what Hibs are looking for. McGinn has bulked up a lot within 12 months or so and it’s had an effect on his movement, 20 yellows last season suggests he’s either slowing up or indisciplined. A lot of those cards will change colour when he’s wearing the Hoops. I’m no a fan but Rodgers obviously thinks he can improve him, time will tell. Edited by Dubz, 8 Jul 2018, 05:12 PM.

Spend £3m on a player who the manager says will be Scott Brown's replacement. Rarely play him. After 1 and half seasons of him mostly sitting on the bench or in the stands we send him out on loan. Returns to the club, rarely plays. Send him out on loan again. Returns to club in final year of contract... |

We can hold off & (potentially) sign him on a free in just a few months, while letting him get the games with Hibs this season. If Hibs are looking for a fee of £3m then thats their business, wouldnt be spending that much, especially when we're supposedly offering Scott Allan as well. I seriously dont see the rush. I do hope he continues to do well for Hibs & keeps developing from proper game time. |

If Hibs are baulking at Allan's wages & putting them off him as a make weight - could or would we contribute some of Allan's wages as a solution? Mind you, it's not like we're skint anyway - but might be an idea to get Allan away too (if he's not in our plans?) |

If Brendan and our better coaches , better facilities , improved team-mates etc can make McGinn better , why can't they make Kouassi and Allan better ? Maybe try that. Just a thought . Personally i like McGinn and i'd sign him. 2.5 million , final bid. Edited by TheGloryYears, 8 Jul 2018, 06:17 PM.

That will be very frustrating for Rod Petrie. Your bid is significantly higher than Celtic's. But McGinn has no interest in signing for you. In fact he suspects that you're not even a football club. |
