Villa matched their offer and he only went to them as Celtic couldn't guarantee first team football whereas Villa could. https://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/mcginn-will-sign-for-villa/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+co%2FIRuC+(Celtic+Quick+News) Satisfying to see that they can tell the unwashed anything and they will probably buy it just like their fellow scum across the city.

Doc Rob Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I’m quietly amused here. The will-he-won’t-he saga with Celtic has been dragging on for weeks. Suddenly Villa show up from nowhere and it’s a done deal in a matter of hours. Nae luck, Celtic. AB and CL take note - this is the way to handle a Glasgow team (though we have form for doing it with Walker). You have to say that £2m plus is a hell of a fee for a player in the final year of his contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Good riddance to the ugly barsteward. Genuinely don’t think he will do anything with Villa.

Des Lynam Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 4 hours ago, Escobar PHM said: Its of passing interest for the following reasons. 1. His sale significantly weakens our biggest rivals IMO. Whether you rate him or not, just about everything they do goes through him 2.The price they achieve for him may be relevant for us sometime in the near future as a benchmark. (Souttar for example) 3. Its interesting to see Celtic possibly miss out on a player they'd normally have snapped up for next to nothing simply by bullying the club into it through a concerted media campaign......I reckon all is not well between Rogers and The Celtic board judging by his most recent interview. Brendan ducking out would be a game changer at the top end of the league IMO. Excellent post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleLafferty Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 People on this thread have totally underestimated John McGinn, everytime we went to the San Giro he drove them forward the whole game, and ever hibs game I’ve seen he is their main man. Would be like us loosing Berra, things would fall apart. They can sign who they like they won’t get anyone as dynamic, aggressive and tough as John Mcginn.

Somebody at Hibs maybe Stubbs or maybe Scotland tried to get him to be more defensive or a 'more rounded player' or the new 'Scott Brown'. He needs to be developed as an attacking player to play to his strengths. Then we might have a good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
