Deodato Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Every time I watch Villa on MOTD, I find myself watching former Hobo John McGinn running the show. Playmaker with vision. Fast as f__k. Was grabbing some end of week beers with a mate who is a Villa fan yesterday and this player is onto something big. His point: what you don't see in the highlights is his upper body strength, he's supposed to be impossible to tackle. A bit like Wayne Rooney - few people ever gave him credit for that part of his game. If Villa can get a proper run on, who knows where it could end up. If McGinn keeps up his form, who knows where he will end up. Deodato Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie1874 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Seems to be doing well at Villa since he stopped falling on his arse at every challenge in Scotland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ93 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 He's a Scot isn't he? Seems to be a very good player playing at a high level. Good luck to him! Maybe he can be one of the few talents the national team has and help us actually qualify for something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersreid Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Good on him going south rather than the easy option of going west . Only downside is the tramps will get a big pay day if some bigger club move in for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E6 Inc Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Never played well against us but fair whack to him, he won Villas POTY last year and is killing it in the premiership this year.

red Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 A fantastic footballer, Pains me how much Hibs may get on the sell on for him. Could be as much as 10 million they could receive.

Finlay James Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 McGinn is an example of a player who has made the best of what he has. He's worked on his physique and fitness and as such, he looks a different player to the one who played for Hibs. Good luck to him. I wish we had signed him from St Mirren.

Holyrood_Hearts Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Got to say he’s gone very well for himself down there & will definitely go on to bigger than Villa.

Looks a stand out at Villa, playing with pace, power, energy. Basically how Scotland as a team should play. Comes into the Scotland team and gets asked to pass the ball to the full backs and knock the ball around the back in a slow methodical fashion.
