I'm watching the Villa game and my sense of loss is acute.

He's playing brilliantly and, as I type this, hes just had a goal disallowed by VAR.

He's getting fouled all over the park, but his ability to keep the ball is incredible.

He's one of my favourite ever Hibs players.

2 things.

We was robbed and he will go onto play for one of the bigger teams if he keeps this up!

Very pleased for him 👍

Hopefully he gets a (much deserved) move to a bigger team in the Premiership, having Robertson, Tierney and McGinn at the top end of the EPL would be great for Scotland, just our luck that two of them play the same position..

Honestly the boy is utter class. Deserves the cash and adulation more than a lot of the cretins who do well in that league. He could be winning champions leagues and he would still be winding up jambos on Twitter because he has an affinity with hibs as well as st Mirren and probably villa now. Met some villa fans on holiday and showed them a pic of me and McGinn and they treated me like royalty. Incredible person and player and I love him

I love John McGinn. What a player. What a joy to have watched his development at Hibs. What a great example he is to all young players, put the effort in and the rewards can be enormous. He’ll also bring Hibs a lot more cash when the inevitable next big move happens for him. Scottish Cup winning Hibs hero.

The way he keeps the ball his work rate and goals will see more than a few with there chequebooks open next summer, whether Villa stay up or go down his new 5 year contract will count for diddly IMO his stock is rising every game ,I can see him going for a huge chunk of cash,with Hibs getting back way more they sold him for.

Villa will like £50m+ more than SJM loves Villa.

SJM will love £100k+ a week, and Champions League football more than he loves Villa too.

It'll be factored into his number of appearances for Villa - usually in increments of 50 league and cup matches, increasing each instalment.

That would have been terrible although I doubt it was ever a possibility.

But it would have been better than letting him walk for nothing at the end of his contract, particularly with all the add ons that are rumoured to be in the deal.

It will depend on the wording used in contracts and what deal villa do. If villa have a clause to get more money down the line I would expect some of that to trickle to Hibs too (and probably st mirren).

Overall, we'll be seeing serious money for SJM from the sell on plus we have a player we can support in his career.
Celtic fans meanwhile will be thorough disgusted at losing out on a player who is obviously top class.
And all because they tried to penny pinch and throw their weight around.

Tidy work from Hibs.
Now the trick is to be in a position to make the windfall from his inevitable sell on work well for us.

I dont know if theres a cut of point ,what theres is at Villa is the need to stop shipping stupid goals,plus the guy Wesley I think it is up front is never of his arse I dont think Villa are any where near a top 10 side,its one of those things The Premiership its a quick learning curve by the time you get to grips with it your in all sorts thats not to say they wont but you gotta hit the ground running which John has and he sticks out like a sore thumb all credit to the guy .
McGinn and Grealish make Villa tick I dont know about Liverpool he certainly has the minerals but with Ox and Keita in the wings it would be a hard fit I was more inclined to think hes Spurs material if Erickson goes ,having said that Poch could be away soon as well ,whatever happens it would be great for Hibs to get a few zonks in the bank boost our squad with a bit of quality .

Absolutely loving watching probably my favourite ever Hibs player flourish on one of the biggest stages of them all.

He deserves absolutely everything. He is now a complete footballer.

My favourite memories watching McGinn fro Hibs:

20 yard screamer at Ibrox to help us win 2-1. First time I have seen us win there.
Scoring the goal against Asteras Tripolis to put us through to the next round.
Watching him lift the Scottish Cup at Hampden after yet another dominating display.

He’s not, but being a good individual player doesn’t always equate to making a better team. Pogba has had at least as many anonymous games for Man U as he has been the match winner. Same with Ozil. McGinn isn’t as talented head to head as those two but for contributing to the team on a consistent basis and making the team better than the sum of their parts I’d pick McGinn over both. That’s even before you get into value for money and Pogba & Ozil being amongst the best paid players in the world.

Don't believe everything you read in the papers about him, a little digging will show he is the least of their problems. Top player.

Think it is clear we take a healthy swedge if and when SJM moves on from Villa. If we have tail-on agreements to future deals then all the better.

Given the Steven Fletcher deal where every club he ever moves to has to give us a king's ransom and if he ever wins the lottery then he gives 50% to the Community Foundation and the Academy, then I think it is fair to say RP saw a decent deal for SJM.

The rest is up to him. He is benefiting from playing higher up the park, scoring goals and getting rightful attention.

He is a loyal player, to his credit, but it looks like he can go up a tier now he is showing in the EPL.

Just watched the villa highlights and sjm looks every inch a top 6 player. Exactly what any team apart from Liverpool and citeh need. From third down sjm would slot right in. He looks like he is more if a goal threat and playing almost as a no 10. He wasn't named as players player and fans player of the year for nothing. Got goosebumps listening to villa fans belting out we've got mcginn. Obviously it will be great for us if he moves for Megabucks but more importantly I'd love to see him fulfil his potential and be so happy if he lined up for spurs or the like. There must be a load of teams looking at him. My guess is hell end up at Leicester under Rodgers for around £50m. Just a hunch. Remember they have the McGuire dosh.

I can't see it being as high as 25%, if it is it would take silly money for Villa to let him go whilst he's on a 5 year contract. How would they replace him?

I'm sure Fletcher was either 15 or 20% covering two transfers so I wouldn't be surprised if it's 20%. Whatever it is we will probably increase our cash that year by around 50%. No point thinking about it till it happens then whoever is in charge at Hibs then will surely be able to sign two or three quality players to see us battling for third. Let's wait until it happens before we get too carried away.

It’s 15%

Be unreal to get 7.5 million for a player we sold 2 before. That should be heavily invested in the first team as far as im concerned.. Get all the next mcginns etc signed up

It’s irrelevant what we get for SJM. It will never be disclosed or even talked about by the club and we’ll be left to speculate and argue amongst ourselves.

I wouldn't say it was irrelevant. If we get £10m it's quite a difference from £1m.

The fact they won’t disclose it, which they shouldn’t, doesn’t make it irrelevant.

It would likely break the record fee we've taken for a player. Far from irrelevant.

I just don’t think a large chunk will get spent on players and be disclosed. As it stands, can anyone say with certainty how much McGinn was sold for and how much we got if anything for Villa being promoted. It’s all just speculation.

How would Hibs benefit from announcing how much money we had to spend?

We wouldn't at all. Any player we went in for would have a premium added

Clubs and agents will know what we have to spend, it’s naive to think otherwise. I just think we are kidding ourselves on if we thing the club would invest millions in to the team if we get £10 + million from the deal. It will be business as usual with maybe 1-2 decent signings, but not significant enough to set us up for years to come.

An entire years worth of money in one go would make a big difference to Hibs in many ways. Adding 1 million to the transfer budget for 10 years would be amazing and definitely increase the standard of signing.

That all depends on who spends it.

I'm getting a horrible feeling that if we get a massive sell on for McGinn it'll all go into more infrastructure.

If we get say 10 million for McGinn sell on - Ron Gordon pockets 6 mill to cover his purchase of the club, another million to cover his initial 7 figure investment and another 2.75 million for his own profit. Hibs will get 0.25 million to spend on a couple of boys from Ebbsfleet United.

It's a certainty that Ron Gordon will pocket it all.

(I have no doubt that this will be repeated in the future so remember where you heard it first).

Edit: And you heard it first in the post above this one! :hilarious

Bemoaning the potential windfall from a transfer of another team’s player, which might not happen, and how it will wasted is probably peak hibs.net doom and gloom.

No wonder why we haven’t heard a peep from him for quite some time since he took over
