Fantastic achievement and thoroughly deserved. I know we have produced some decent youngsters over the last couple of seasons but McGinn is the only one who I believe has the the ability to play in any of the top leagues in the world

Maybe Danny is just protecting John but when he raves about other players being worth millions who are not half as good as this lad I begin to wonder. John McGinn is the best young talent I have seen at the Club in many, many years.

He's only just turned 19, but I already think he's our best player. He's certainly the best teenager I've ever seen play for us.

Certainly in the past 25 years ,although it's a tough call for me considering Iain Munro , Bobby McKean , Ally McLeod , Gordon McQueen and Ian Ferguson etc

Same here Billy.

Stevie Clarke,Paul Lambert,Ian Cameron and even David Winnie were regular players in their teens.

We need players in to give young McGinn and Thommo a hand

They are carrying the team

Excellent player, I believe he started as a left back and you can see the defensive positioning still there. His play in midfield is great and at times he comes out of challenges/situations like a surfer through a crashing wave and you just watch in awe.

For a young fellow who is predominantly a creative midfielder, his ability in the tackle and his ratio of winning them cleanly is astoundingly good.

His strength on the ball and tenacity will take him a very long way. I appreciate every time I watch him. An absolute diamond. We'd better be well compensated when he does move on, as I genuinely believe the move he makes after his next club will be a multi-million pound one. As do I believe that he'll be a Scotland mainstay his entire career.

Delighted for the player - totally deserved. clap.gif

We are an unfashionable club and our players are not always given the credit they deserve.

Like McCarthy at Hamilton we must get a sell-on clause as part of any transfer deal.

Brilliant news for John and some long overdue recognition for the lad.

Best player on our books by far, an absolute joy to watch due to his skill and attitude.

I'd give it to him right now. There isn't really any competition. He is a class act. A fantastic talent.

ETA: meant to quote David from above re player of the year.

The view of a Hibs fan on P&B:

John McGinn made Scott Robertson look like a lost wee boy all afternoon and bullied him on several occasions

We've got a genuine gem in McGinn, and it isn't going un-noticed. Fingers crossed we can hang onto him a bit longer.
