Reasons I think he'll be a great addition to our squad. As much as Brown puts himself about I think we could do with another in there who relishes a tackle. |

On the narrow point about Allan, I very much doubt we are about to offload him for nothing in a few weeks, when he still has a year of his contract to run. The exact same duration as McGinn. We are not exactly in Ciftci territory with Allan. There is clearly some value there. |

I don't think he's a long term replacement for Brown, but if McGinn had come through the ranks at Celtic exactly as Callum McGregor has I'm fairly certain that we'd be finding a way of getting him games. He's not so poor that he wouldn't make it into the team at all, but he's not so great that he would instantly depose Ntcham or Brown right now. He'll be a squad player that allows us to rest the likes of Brown and after a few years we can see where he's got to. It seems about as low risk as a prospective signing could possibly be. |

He's been down south already and failed. He's been to Celtic and failed. He has value to Hibs or maybe Aberdeen but you're not going to get much cash out of either of us. Do you not think if he's still there as transfer window closes you'll be cutting your losses? |

I think there is a very decent chance that if Allan doesn't go to Hibs, Aberdeen very well might pay money for him and have the werewithal to do so, given they have lost Christie. They get to beat a rival and add a player who is above league average for a fee they've recently proved they can put out having done the same with GMS. They've added three midfielders but they were painfully weak there. But one of them is only 18, while the other two are a sitting midfielder and a wide midfielder. They've lost the player that plays off the front. I certainly don't believe Celtic are in any way of a mind to let Allan go for nothing when he was one of the better players in the SPFL in the second half of last season. He failed at an absolute basket club that got about 20 points in an entire Championship season by the way. I think everyone failed there. |

Allan to Aberdeen would be a great move for both the Sheep and the player. Would also give them strength in pushing for 2nd again. |

You're right There's definitely a snobbery against Scottish players on this forum from some people. McGinn is a good player and will do well for us Edited by DICEMAN, 5 Jul 2018, 01:38 PM.

McGinn is one of those players that cos he plays for a smaller Scottish team, no-one gets excited about him but has the potential to be one that if he went to the EPL and flourish, you'd be kicking yourself. Just like McFadden in his pomp or James McCarthy. For that reason, I'll twist and see how he gets on. I think he'll be a good signing. |

Also the reason no one is getting excited about Lewis Morgan. Who I think will turn into a regular for us by next season and surprise a few. |

The last successful player we signed from an SPL side was Scott Brown. |

I suppose the guy we just sold on for £7m couldn't be called a success. |

I don't think that there's a snobbery against Scottish players on here. There is an argument that there's perhaps a snobbery against players bought from Scottish teams. But when you have a look at the recruits this decade, it's hard to make a strong case that we've been more successful than not. Jack Hendry, £1.2m, Jan 2018 Lewis Morgan, £340k + loan, Jan 2018 Jonny Hayes, £1.3m + loan, Jun 2017 Ryan Christie, £500,000 + loan, Aug 2015 Scott Allan, £275,000 + loan, Aug 2015 Nadir Ciftci, £1.5m, Jul 2015 Stuart Armstrong, £1.75m, Feb 2015 Gary Mackay-Steven, £250,000, Feb 2015 Tony Watt, £100,000, Jan 2011 Anthony Stokes, £800,000, Aug 2010 |

I like him, but we don't need him. We don't need anymore midfielders and I wish they'd just pack it in for a bit, jeezo. |

We spent far more than that on our international cadre of duds in that same time frame. |

have always thought McFadden would have been sensational with us..we will never know I like McGinn and would be very happy if he signs ...I think he will be a very good addition to our squad/team..as others have said, if we qualify for a European group we will have about 30 plus matches to play prior to Christmas!!..plenty room for rotation |

I'm not arguing against that, but they're more difficult to group into easily snob-erable chunks. |
