I don't think his signature is necessary, probably a verbal agreement is enough and it would be subject to passing a medical.

[CropleyWasGod]

I don't think his signature is necessary, probably a verbal agreement is enough and it would be subject to passing a medical.

Electronic signature would be sufficient, Shirley.

As long as there's a valid contract between the clubs and player by the deadline, that should be enough to satisfy the relevant authorities.

[E10 Rifle]

Sell him for £2m + bring in Henderson in his place (loan or £300k) = good business for me

[18Hibee75]

Think people forget that McGinn is only 22. He's 22 and has won a league and Scottish cup outside of the old firm, been capped for Scotland and IMO our best player. St Mirren also reportedly have a 30% Sell on Clause on him as well, anything under £3M for me should and probably would be rejected.

He's influential in the majority of our attacks and has looked a lot stronger and fitter this season than ever. IMO he is still 4-5 years away from his prime and in his prime he will be able to play in premier league.

Give him this season to really prove his worth and a big offer will come in for him next year and we will be looking back in ten years time and be proud that he played for us, let's enjoy his performances while we can.

Aye, but at least in that league clubs don't practically have an open topped bus parade to celebrate avoiding relegation by a goal like 60% of England's so called 'top flight' as if it was some sort of success. At least our national cup competition hasn't been devalued so much by the chase for UEFA's pot of gold that its practically viewed as a consolation prize of little or no consequence and the manager who won it this year is still regarded as a failure because his club didn't make the almighty top 4.

As for Nottingham Forest ............. so far off being in contention for the top of the English tree they wish they were in a one team league, and worse, too tight or too skint to offer a realistic fee for a player who would undoubtedly have improved them :faf:

I'll try not to get too worried about our league or players being insulted by a bunch of fat *******s who support a club where the most exciting thing to happen in the last 20 years was a viral video of them fighting each other over the last pie :na na:

Leicester's success has really hurt them and they've got Big Club issues as it is.,.

I wouldn't take them too seriously.

Likely that Warburton will get found out there as well, and although they are u dear new ownership it's not the most stable environment for an emerging players.

Jason has got heroic self-belief though so I'm not too worried about him!

Only serious clubs make serious bids. Perhaps the NF fans are seeing that was well. As for the magic hat man, he must have know that these bids were a waste of time.

I disagree.

These are professional football players. They play for money.

Of course, John McGinn will want a move to a new club, but not because he doesn't like Hibernian. Understandably, he'll want to improve his income, raise his profile, and test himself in a different environment.

In that context, he was unlucky not to get a move last month.

There is no doubt, and it is nothing new,that players on International duty discuss the merits of moving to "greener pastures"
John could well be one of, if not the lowest paid player in the Scotland squad.
I am sure some of the other Scotland players will offer"advice" to John.
They should leave that in the dressing room though, and not comment in the press as Boyd and Brown have done.
I expect it will all happen again in the lead up to January.

I guess it may have been difficult for John, or any other player being touted for a move/ speculated about, whilst preparing for a WC qualifier.
Anyway, its great that John is still a Hibernian player.
I am sure the biggest cheer at our next home game will be for John
Long may he continue at Hibernian.

[Peevemor]

If SJM had wanted to leave he would have been away. He's have spoken to the club and his agent would have punted him around on the quiet.

I reckon he'll sign an improved contract and will stay at least until the end of the season. If he's set on going to a decent sized club in England, he knows that the additional transfer fee involved will be almost negligible to them but could make a huge difference to Hibs.

John McGinn will get his move at the right time and at the right price. Scott Brown's comments sound like he was asked leading questions - but as the Celtic and Scotland Captain should no better than to pass an opinion on the business of another club. That was my point.

But then Celtic have recent previous on that.

Shame that journo didn't ask Brown if he was disappointed when he didn't get his move to Rangers with Kevin Thomson.

"Nottingham Forest are poised to make a fresh bid to sign Scotland midfielder John McGinn from Hibernian in January after an offer was rejected last month. (Daily Mirror, print edition)"

Hibs should ridicule them by making public their previous bids.

Or make a policy decision NOT to sell John to Forest unless of course they submit a bid of say £5 million plus.

Only if one had come in for him

Did we really expect anything else? - the guy is a wind up merchant.

It's well known that SJM is very much career-orientated and I reckon that part of the reason the transfer was a non-starter was simply because he doesn't rate 'The Hat' !. He wants to go to a club/manager that's going to continue what Neil Lennon's done for him and having seen Warburton's Hun-team up here - a team with a budget probably at least 3 times as much as ours - and how pitiful/pathetic/keech it was and how often/easily we gubbed them, there's no way he'd want to have anything to do with Warburton or his club !

[rodhibs55]

I think the way NF and the hat have gone about things confirms we got the song absolutely spot on.
Warbutons A F***y.

[Smartie]

I reckon SJM wanted to go.

It's just the tone of Scott Brown's comments in that article - he'll have spoken to SJM, he'll have been with him practically throughout.

Unfortunately for SJM a suitable bid never came in, and I wouldn't have expected Warburton to pay what McGinn is worth anyway. He chanced his arm at robbing us - again - and failed - again.

I do think SJM is professional enough to continue to put in a shift. He won't just down tools.

But he'll be gone either in January or next summer, which tbh we all knew anyway.

[makaveli1875]

By the time the january window opens forest will be near the foot of the table with about 100 goals conceded and SJM will realise he dodged a bullet not signing for that clueless fanny hat wearing buffoon

[NOLA]

I'd be disappointed if we sold in January. IF he wants to leave summer is the best time to sort out your future

I've a funny feeling he will sign a new contract then indicate he wants to move in January. He deserves a pay rise no matter what to indicate his progress and should be second highest player on the pay scale.

Or just as likely, they'll realise their penny-pinching was a false economy and will pay us the £4M he's worth - in their desperation.

Indeed, I wonder if Cummings will join one also.

How embarrassing for NF. Imagne bein turned doon by a Scottish club.

Go on then, I'll ask.
Who should be the top earner?

Thats easy
Leanne.

Stokes, proved himself far more than SJM

Agreed :)

The captain.

Wonder where SJMs head is right now. When he gets his move he'll practically be guaranteed life long financial security. But for now he's only a bad injury away from not having a career

The same John McGinn who was speared in a training ground incident at St. Mirren? I am quite sure he is well aware of the cost of injury. Aware long before Forest tried to short change Hibs.

I read the article on the BBC website and he seemed happy with things. He states that he is enjoying his football and feels like he is improving under Lennon. Progression long term is perhaps more important than a career gamble on Warburton and a quick cash grab?

As he would be at the start of next season on 40k a week if he moved

Who's going to give him £40k pw?

He's happy progressing at us. Give him a new deal, insert clause and he can go next summer for £3m. Everyone is happy.

I have to say as much as I hate warbs I think mcginn would thrive in a team that plays how warb gets his teams playing, he'd see so much of the ball imo he'd be a stand out. But hopefully we can keep john another couple seasons before he moves on.

Aye, that midfield of his controlled everything on the greatest day in history right enough.

And it's fannys hat, not warbs, warb, warbo, respectively.

I never said that his team controlled any game, I also never said mcginn should go to his team. I said fannys hat [emoji4]likes his team to keep ball retention and a team like that would suit mcginn imo
If feel other wise that's your prerogative.
