Excellent news

[Peevemor]

4 years :aok:

[high bee]

4 years! Nice.

[Benny Brazil]

Welcome aboard John!

[Hibby Gav]

WELCOME !!!!

A great piece of business Hibs....well done AS and LD

ggtth !

[Billy Whizz]

4 years :aok:

Wow

[WellingtonHibby]

Four years is a brilliant coup.

Hope it's a written agreement and not verbal (!)

[Just Alf]

Great stuff!....... welcome :thumbsup:

[Bostonhibby]

Great work by the club. Welcome to Hibernian John

[DarrenSQH]

4 years is good news.

[JJP]

4 years!? Thought the days of contracts like that were over at Hibs.

[Brightside]

4 year deal? I await the cries and shouts!

[GreenCastle]

Good news!!

He has potential to be a really good player and one we could make a bit of money on further down the line.

In the short term hopefully he will contribute and add quality to the midfield.

Now if we can just bring in Dylan and a defender.

[ArmadaleHibs]

This could be an even greater coup than bringing Scott Allan to the club. This young lad has bags of potential and I for one think this is a really significant signing. Being able to attract some of the players we have, and we're not even in the top flight, is testimant to our management

Ggtth

[Ronniekirk]

Wow

Kate Bush

But yep wasn't expecting that length of contract Welcome John and well done Stubbs and L D :aok:

[Pretty Boy]

Great news.

Picking up the Scotland under 21 capatain from under the noses of other suitors is testament to what we habe to offer at Hibs now.

[worcesterhibby]

4 years !! right that settles it, I'm actually pretty certain now that LD has Petrie stripped, bound and gagged in the boot of her car !

[Aldo]

Superb piece of business.

Welcome aboard.

A very well done to the club for getting him to sign!

[Golden Bear]

Great news, and I sincerely hope you stay clear of the great Hibernian new player injury jinx.

[bill the hibby]

Perhaps we did pay a fee if he's signed a 4 year year deal, speculate to accumulate perhaps...great signing, well done hibs

[Pretty Boy]

This seems as good a time as any to remind people you can.still buy a ST or sign up to HSL or donate to Leith Links etc etc.

That's what makes deals like this possible.

[flash]

That's an upgrade on McGeoch who I don't expect us to sign now.

[Andy74]

Perhaps we did pay a fee if he's signed a 4 year year deal, speculate to accumulate perhaps...great signing, well done hibs

Stubbs says the fee is 'significant'

[Gatecrasher]

Excellent! Ggtth :flag:

[bill the hibby]

Stubbs says the fee is 'significant'

100k was the fee I was told was going to be paid, not sure if that came to fruition but great but of business from the club

[woodyhfc4892]

4 year deal is great news! Anyone know when he'll be fit to play?

[MSK]

Excellent, delighted with this signing 👍

[Baldy Foghorn]

Well done again AS and LD, building a very good squad, plenty of competition for midfield places....Excellent:flag:

[Brightside]

That's an upgrade on McGeoch who I don't expect us to sign now.

We are still pushing hard for this with Celtic.

[SlickShoes]

4 year deal is great news! Anyone know when he'll be fit to play?

Based on the rest of our new signings, about 6 weeks.

Seriously though hopefully ASAP. Some of our returning from injury players like Farid are basically new signings as well.

[pontius pilate]

Fantastic bit of business by all involved credit where it's due LD and AS with his team have bees a breath of fresh air. 4 years wow. Onwards and upwards

GGTTH

[Godsahibby]

4 year deal is fantastic news. Let's be honest we have to look long term and see McGinn as an assett we can halp develop and sell on.

[flash]

We are still pushing hard for this with Celtic.

That would be tremendous.

[Keith_M]

Welcome to Hibs, John


:thumbsup:

[squire]

4 year deal subject to verbal agreements??

Looks like a very good signing. Welcome to Hibs. Bring your boots son your playing tomorrow!

[Keith_M]

4 years !! right that settles it, I'm actually pretty certain now that LD has Petrie stripped, bound and gagged in the boot of her car !



Why did you have to write 'stripped'?


:sick:

[Hibeesmad]

Four year deal is exactly what we needed for such a great young talent. Very positive news, Stubbs is going to have to make a lot of decisions now regarding team line up. Wouldn't surprise me to see Stanton and Harris head out either on loan or permanently before the end of the window.

Also just bought my tickets for Montrose and Dumbarton. Come on the Hibees

[Hannah_hfc]

Excellent signing, definitely good news to end the week!

Well done Hibs ..... 4 years is a bit of a surprise, but if the lad becomes a stand out in the next 2 years it guarantees we can ask top dollar for him when Man Utd or Real Madrid come calling.

Welcome to Hibs John http://www.hibs.net/images/smilies/thumbs%20up.gif

[DarrenSQH]

Sevco fans on twitter are hilarious at this news.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Well done to Hibs and welcome to ER wee man. He looks about 12!

[Sir David Gray]

Welcome to Hibs John. :aok:

[Cabbage7062]

4 years is a great piece of business if the lad fulfills his potential. brilliant investment in my opinion. Breath of fresh air that we are able to attract a player who no doubt had some other good options. Well done Hibs. Anyone know if he has done a pre season or how far he is of match fitness?

[hibby67]

Great news
When everyone is fit we have a decent looking squad
Quality over quantity

[Andy74]

Not in defence we don't.

[Blaster]

Not in defence we don't.

We definitely need another CH in but for full backs I thinkiys time to rely on dunsmore and crane as our back ups.

[Billy Whizz]

We definitely need another CH in but for full backs I thinkiys time to rely on dunsmore and crane as our back ups.

Think we need a quick centre back, who can cover at right back,and a left back

[JimBHibees]

Not in defence we don't.

Agree I think we will bring in a left back and someone who can play both full back and centre back. Wouldnt be surprised if one was a loan either.

[hibby67]

Not in defence we don't.

Decent I said not perfect
If money was no option then we could get a better keeper another centre half and a left back
But reality is unless we free up wages I can't see us bringing in another 3 players

[green.and.white]

Welcome to the club John!

[JimBHibees]

Agree. As for John McGinn got to be said I didnt think we would get him as to me he has enormous potential. Great testament to the club that talented young players now see Hibs as a positive environment to develop their career. Onwards and upwards.

[Onion]

Good end to a bad week. Welcome to Hibs, John.

[PatHead]

Welcome to the club John

[erin go bragh]

Brilliant signing . Welcome to the Hibs John .

One negative post on a thread welcoming a new player, that's some achievement, congratulations!

[stoneyburn hibs]

Welcome John, good luck with your Hibs career.

[Andy74]

One negative post on a thread welcoming a new player, that's some achievement, congratulations!

One needless and stupid comment on a thread that was just fine. Well done.

[Vault Boy]

Welcome, John.
Should be a great signing for us and securing a 4 year deal is a welcomed surprise.

[col02]

The club are being very competitive in terms of the signings made. Another wee push in season ticket sales could see another couple players signed. 100% convinced that every penny the club brings in is being spent on the football team.

[liamh2202]

But I thought we wouldn't get any more young players . after all we are the bad guys who wouldn't let a youngster join his boyhood heroes... Sevco...the record... The sun... Chick young girfuy

[Mikey09]

Cue the pretend seethe from Chic Young as he won't be able to understand this "move". He's already seething re the SA situation but will have to seethe now as he pretends to support The Buddies. Welcome to Hibernian John. Hats off to Stubbs and Dempster AGAIN!! :thumbsup:

[H18S NX]

Good signing,it shows our ambition and determination to get us out of this crappy division. :aok:

[theonlywayisup]

Good signing, but I must admit I know very little about him.

For those that have seen him play how does he compare with Sam Stanton, who is off a similar age. McGinn has played much more games for the first team and for the Scotland u21s, so maybe that tells us he is a better player than Sam.

[brog]

[QUOTE=Andy74;4428096]One needless and stupid comment on a thread that was just fine. Well done.

I know I shouldn't have bitten but I do find your relentless negativity wearisome. Just for once try & say something good about the Club, I know you can do it! :wink:

Cries & shouts about what. ?

Aye, that Underscore needs to have a word with him self. :wink:

A LB for cover would be good though.

Hahaha I thought this place was against young talented players getting long term deals? I'm uber positive as you well know. :wink:

We wont sell to them, they will be our competition in 2 years.

Depends on some peoples opinions of the player. :wink: :greengrin

[jacomo]

Plenty of folk criticising the 4 yr deal for Handling.

Long term contracts like this obviously a risk but this seems like a good bet. Well done Hibs!

Welcome meatbawheid!!!!
Four years!, ya dancer.

This is why we need to keep on investing with the hsl scheme!!!!
Well done to the fans and well done hibs.

[Gerard]

Welcome to Hibs John. A good player who will make a difference for our club.

[Pretty Boy]

We should keep an eye out for the next McGinn to come through the ranks.

There seems to have been an endless parade of them for the last few years.

[Greencore]

"I like they way hibs have went about this, not saying anything on it til it was a done deal subject to medical, quite respectful to our board and our fans. Maybe if Sevco had went about the whole Scott Allan situation in the same way it might have worked out differently instead of the 'we want him so we're having him' attitude. Twos up the ****s anyway.

As for John McGinn, hope he goes on to have a decent career, whether he rediscovers his early promise at hibs is debatable but the boys done us a turn last few year (last season maybe not so much) so best of luck to him."

Wait till next year. They'll all be crying out for us to let him sign for celtic on a free.

Wearing concrete boots.

Spot on PB :aok:

[Hannah_hfc]

2 journos on twitter already talking about him being being ideal to replace Scott Brown at Celtic in a few years time....

Couldn't make it up. The lads only just joined on a four year deal.

[Spike Mandela]

4 years? Maybe they've realised how long it takes us to actually get a new signing on the pitch.:wink:

Like the look of this player though. Good stuff.:cb

[MWHIBBIES]

That's an upgrade on McGeoch who I don't expect us to sign now.McGeouch is a brilliant player who we absolutely should still be pushing to sign. McGinn is more the Robertson/Craig replacement I'd imagine.

[147lothian]

Delighted with the signing of McGinn on a four year deal, I like the way Hibs are going about there business, I don't know too much about him but at his age and the way that St Mirren, wanted him to sign a new deal, it looks like a really good signing for me,

[Viva_Palmeiras]

From the Scotmans Comments

Take a bow Perhammer ;)

"Welcome to Hibs, John. Don't worry, we've hidden all the spears at East Mains ;-)"


This is a good example for certain other Clubs on how to do business. Hibs contacted St Mirren privately and did all negotiations behind closed doors, then came to an agreement on a Development Fee, without blabbing their intentions to the press.

He ripped the merricks a new one in the league cup final . At the tender age of 18 . Brilliant signing . Massive coup for us .

You're not allowed to be underwhelmed, we haven't signed any players on loan.
