Callum Gilhooley Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well , if we were hoping today’s game v the new team would add to his value , he’ll need to get his finger out in the second half , he has been anonymous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Official bid from Leeds United has been placed. ETA; Was in Elland Road this morning as I do work for Leeds United amongst others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whydowebother Posted May 21, 2018 Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Get onto one of their computers and up the bid to about £200m. Ta much. Sadly, only 2 board members were in at the time.I’m off up to their training ground tomorrow, might ‘talk him up’ even more I do work for the likes of Leeds Rhinos/Leeds Carnegie / Yorkshire Cricket /Manchester United etc but doubt any of them require his services Noticed however England are playing Costa Rica at Elland Road this week, anyone would think there is a world cup coming up Hope someone tables £3m + for McGinn & i very much doubt Hibs or Lennon ( if he has a say ) would want him to go for any less.

Mr Zo Posted May 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2018 Hopefully the first thing Jack Ross does at his new English club is buy John McGinn for £3 million or more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Zo Posted May 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Could be some summer for money coming into the buddies coffers before a ball is kicked if John McGinn was to get a big money move, compensation for Jack and James plus this proposed sale of Kyle McGennis to Sunderland. The potential for close to £2 million coming saints way. Obviously not counting our chickens but an interesting thought. Surely John McGinn has to leave Hibs this summer for big bucks.

Do you think Sunderland will pay that kind of money, though? It'll be a swops and slops type offer that won't benefit saints by much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t the swapped player simply get valued and that value is taken into consideration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's only Sunderland and maybe Leeds bidding for him then he will for anywhere between £2 and £3 million but if an English premiership get involved then it could potentially be several million more.

proudtobeabuddy Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 McGinn moving for anything near 3 million or above would be fantastic for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we should take a leaf out of the recruitment agencies playbook. Hire someone today from a recruitment agency and you pay about 20% of the starting salary as a finders fee but they then add a cash value for a car (for car read swaps and slops) as well so you end up paying another wedge. Maybe a wee clause saying that any slops and swaps will be independently valued and Saints will get a third of that as well. Grasping at straws.

Sonny Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Celtic apparently interested in McGinn with Allan going to Hibs. Bit of a bummer for us if true as that would reduce any transfer fee. Edited May 29, 2018 by Sonny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougJamie Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 There is the small matter of Mcginns career and ambitions. Potential champions league and another 350 k to us or away at Wycombe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Sunderland are willing to pay him about 20k a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That dream could be over by August then it's the walk to the title and the slightly bigger challenge of taking the domestic cups. With Sunderland being a club with potential to make the EPL, that could offer him a straight path to the big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think they will get out League one but championship is different matter. Min 2 years and remember Mcginn has already gone down with us and played second tier with hibs. Just a feeling he wants silverware and thats Celtic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In or out of Europe it gives a stage on which to build an opportunity for a move to the top 4 in England and really big money. He is good enough. IMO.

I agree but the reduced cash transfer price because of the swap of players that is likely is bad for Saints so I am still rooting for a £3m offer from Jack.

How much could Celtic realistically value Scott Allan at? £250-300k? He's not really done much other than have some decent form at Hibs and Dundee.
