Gordon Urquhart Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Undoubtedly will end up at Celtic at some point later in his career. Just glad it is not this time. Show them down there what you have John and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pozbaird Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Best wishes to John McGinn. Excellent career path - great to see a player who contributed to the St Mirren cause get two good moves and should be made for life. I will certainly be keeping an eye on Sunderland and Villa’s results this season as an aside from watching us. Well played son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Great move for John and all the best. Personally I think Celtic have blown it big time and the only chance of them ever signing him will be if he does a Thommo. Sportsound reckoned that Celtic were offering their top wage scale and Villa doubled it. I can see John playing in the Premier league for many years to come.

Hopefully he does do a Thommo and gets his meatball heid home for one last run. Can't imagine there's ever been 3 brothers in football who have all signed for the same club twice.

andrew87 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 That sounds more like holding a water pistol to their head. If Celtic think they can’t get through the qualifying rounds without the services of McGinn, then that’s a pretty sad indictment of their current squad. Celtic are very much in charge of this situation not Hibs. Suspect Celtic might be in charge of this situation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fairness I did say that after it was reported McGinn only wanted to play for Celtic and at that stage there had been zero apparent interest from England, Either way, I'm glad to have gotten it spectacularly wrong.

(unless of course Villa go bust) Even if we did want to blow the £1m before we get our hands on it, the club could always ask SMISA to front it from the £2 pots and all the ring-fenced money. We must invest in a pair of specs almost immediately. Big law suit pending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew87 Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Called plenty of things wrong myself. Celtic clearly thought John didn't want to play for anyone but them. Nice to see them getting stung for being cheapskates. Having said that they did pay £1.5m for Ciftci so they don't always rip off other Scottish clubs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W6Saint Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 By all acounts the fee is somewhere in the upper regions of £2,700,000 - as Div said on Twitter the other day, this equates to the highest fee we’ve ever got from selling a player...Well Done SG, Previous BoD and David Longwell!

The end result for us financially is good. Part of me would have liked to see John continue to play in Scotland but he has made the decision to choose Villa over Celtic (if reports are true That Celtic matched the Villains) Best of luck. Hope you win a cup with Villa to add to the ones you won with Hibs And Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you win a cup with Villa to add to the ones you won with Hibs And Saints. Vast majority of Celtic players on £10-£12k a week with only the likes of Brown, Dembele, Sinclair and Edouard on over £20k a week. If as reported Celtic did offer John £23k a week then they must have been desperate to get him. As you say the business side blundered.

RichardBuddie Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Too little too late for Celtic, John could have been on their books for 10 years!! Villa are a great fit for him at this point and I fully expect him to thrive in that league and higher.Good luck John!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
