He’s not really had a chance, but there must be a reason for that, whether it’s that he doesn’t do enough in training or what, I’ve no idea. Whatever the reason is, he doesn’t get any game time, so he’s failed there. He was in and out the Dundee team so you could probably say he failed there, as he did at Rotherham, as he did at WBA. All those failures make it hard to justify any sort of significant fee. The only saving grace for Celtic is that he plays like a multi million pound player for us and we want him, so they can ask us for a bit more.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

McGinn moving to Celtic would be a dull, but predictable transfer. Surprised that clubs down south are not coming in with any interest as he has all the attributes to play down there. That may come though, and fingers crossed it does.

@Elephant Stone He found himself Failing at Rotherham, and Struggling at Dundee which is probably why he was never getting a look in at Celtic.
There is just something about Hibs that clicks IMO.

I would simply tell Celtic...
“Do not contact us again regarding this player unless the offer is £5milion or more”

I don't see the relevance of him being out of contract in a year.
What good is that to a club if they want him now? If they wait till next year somebody else may have bought him by then or the manager who wants to buy him may have lost his job by then.
A year is as good as a lifetime in football now.
I initially wanted, or hoped to achieve £3m for him, IMO that's a fair and realistic price for him in the current market. When you then take into account i also want a decent sell on %, a player in return and the buying club to sort out St Mirrens cut you're getting a lot closer to the £2m mark and considering it sounds like Celtics starting offer was £1.5m, to me that sounds like we probably aren't that far away.
I'm expecting an exciting day today, if we don't hear anything from Hibs i think we'll be close to agreeing a deal, if Hibs come out and publicly dismiss the bid then the offer will have been miles off what we're after.

I think both clubs will be wanting to ensure this doesn't go on for too long. I can see the final deal being around £2 million, Allan perm, and a lad on loan for the season.

Would prefer him to go down south but there's been rumblings about this deal all summer, so I think it's basically done apart from clubs agreeing the fee.

I'm hopeful Hibs will have offered JM a new contract on a bumper wage (or as much as we can afford), which will push his asking price up. If he were to sign a new 3 year deal or similar then it would a great piece of business for the club.

£2m plus Allan permanent minimum then we can start talking otherwise jog on.

It will probably be an undisclosed fee. I'll guess around £1.5m with add ons and Scott Allan, or £2m with add ons and no Scott Allan.

I'm not clear as to why a player (Armstrong)with the same length of contract to go,fewer caps and a poor recent injury record is considered to be worth much more than McGinn.

It's the way of the world that bigger clubs attract bigger fees, we benefit from that as much as anyone but the deal for Armstrong has to be the starting point for negotiations and then work back from there.

£4m + Scott Allan as a bare minimum. Any less, tell Sellik to take a hike!!
