Realistic Value of SJM

[RossScott1991]

Didn't watch the game last night, however with another cap under his belt and I think I read somehere MOTM award, how much should Hibs realistically be looking to receive for Mcginn?

We have just finished our first round of fixtures in the premiership, his first year in premiership with Hibs his performances like majority of the squad have been good this season soo far. 3 goals in 12 games, 2 of which came away to the best team in the league.


is 5 million the maximum we should be looking for, taking into account whatever % st Mirren receive from the fee. or does anyone think more?

[Pete]

£10 million.

[Cabbage East]

£11.36m

He's a sensible laddie ..... Leanne and NL need chat to him and get him to extend his contract by another year, on slightly enhanced terms if the Club can do so. He and we all know if he keeps playing the way he is and keeps adding to his Scotland caps a BIG Club is gonna come in for him, and they can afford £5, 6, 7, etc million. That way the Club maximise what we can get and SJM gives the Club that gave him a platform to really make his way in the game something back.

I'm sure St Mirren would agree too!

How is one of the leagues best players, Scotland international with 2 MOTM awards from his first 2 starts for the team, young and endless potential only worth £2.75m? At what point is a player worth 5m? I don't understand why we undervalue our players up here. I'd say if a team down south paid 6m for him they wouldn't get any less value than if they'd bought some of the dross that's shifted around clubs for big bucks in the premier league/championship.

English clubs know there is no money in the Scottish game and can drive a hard bargain. Only Celtic can command top dollar because they don't need the money in the way all other clubs do.

Sadly, this is how I see it too.

18 months left.

Realistically we won’t get offered more than £3.5m.

I think we would sell for £2.75m and upwards.

[Souter96Mac]

4/5 million but perhaps unrealistic due to the length left on his contract. He's a quality player though with now 5 Scotland caps to his name I believe, with two man of the match awards.
Can see it being closer to 2/3

[Hibernia&Alba]

We won't get anything like his real value when he moves on; that's just the nature of the Scottish game, and there's his contract situation. Bet we don't even get £3 million.

4.5 for broony a few year back, he’s got to be worth at least that, even more.

That was to another Scottish club and when there was more money in the game up here.

McGinn at Hibs, £3 million; McGinn at Celtic, at least double that. We'll get ripped off.

[.Sean.]

If he signs a new deal I'd be wanting 5 million minimum.

[Big_Franck]

I only watched the first half of the game last night. Did McGinn get man of the match again?

Yes

[calumhibee1]

We don’t need to sell and clubs know that, so £5m.

We sort of do need to sell, either that or he’s walking for ziltch.

But that also means he stays to the end of his contract. I'd settle for that than selling him for a paltry fee

If he stays to the end of his contract hewould be a free agent and leave for nothing.

Yes and I'd prefer having him till then and getting nothing than taking a rubbish bid in January

Would we not get a development fee for him even if he does leave at the end of his contract?

If he signs a new contract he's worth 4/5 million in the summer.

[Callyballybe]

It really does come down to if he signs an extension to his current contract - I assume the club will have at least approached him and his agent about this at some point. If he was to sign an extension, then I'd say we'd be looking at £4mil if he went in the summer.

The more realistic outcome is that he won't sign an extension, and will be away either in Jan or the summer (unfortunately.) If it's Jan, and we get £3mil, we've done well (Although if offered £2.5mil, I'd say we'd end up taking it.) If we wait till the sumer £1.5mil, if we're lucky.

Brown's situation isn't comparable as there was more money in Scottish football at that time.

I'd love to see us get £5mil for him, but I'm afraid to say there'll be alot of disappointed people on here when he does finally go if they think we're getting that for him.

If he extended for a year now and left in the summer I think we would get £2.75Mill at a push.

[Firestarter]

£4m this January £2m summer.

[one day maybe...]

£2.5 plus Henderson & Christie at the end of this season.

Well your guess is, at least, as stupid as the others.

Just my guess... love to see us get £10 million plus, but unfortunately I don't think we will. Love to be wrong though.

[lord bunberry]

I genuinely think he’s one of the best players I’ve seen. He’s got skill, drive, fight and he’s developing a bit of a nasty streak. If we get a few clubs interested, then we could see a fee of around £5m. Celtic would be insane not to try and sign him, he’s a ready made replacement for Scott Brown, and they’ve got so many players that they could offer in part exchange.
