Well done John McGinn : How ironic is it that Christie in planting one on McGinn in that picture . Well done John. Would be great if we could get him to sign a new deal.

blcknwhte_lj Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Actually, on closer inspection it looks like one of our boys has planted one on Christie. Think its just the perpecstive making it look like he is doing John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutherglenbud Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 It's a scary thought that in just over two weeks time john is free to talk to other clubs. Need to try and get him signed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northstbuddie Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 Congratulations to John on being nominated in this elite company. I don't know how many others would compare him with Archie Gemmill at the same stage in their development? This should be an encouragement to the other young players who are coming through the development team and also to Kenny McLean who has a different set of skills from McGinn.

Drew Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 ....and also to Kenny McLean who has a different set of skills from McGinn. This is a good point. Kenny does indeed have a very different set of skills to John, and it has to be assumed that a good coach would utilise them together more effectively in a manner in which they would complement one another's playing style. For me, the team should be built round these players. While I understand that the Cap'n reckons the midfield is there to be by-passed, I feel that the ball should be played through them, for the most part. Kenny has craft to his game while John, though not lacking in skill, has more of an edge, and is a possession player. Let them do what they do best and utilise them in a way that means they don't cancel one-another out and we have one of the best central midfield pairings in the league.

Yeah in the way that we failed to utilise McGowan and Harkins together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
