Medical underway: Motherwell agree deal for Hibs star Paul McGinn - Sources - Football Insider (footballinsider247.com) (https://www.footballinsider247.com/medical-underway-motherwell-agree-deal-for-hibs-star-paul-mcginn-sources/)

[Smartie]

McGinn came in and did a job. When all he had to do was defend, he did pretty decent job of it, but let far too many crosses get in last season.

His ability on the ball isn't good enough for helping build up attacks, so can't say I'm hugely disappointed he's leaving.

I thought he was pretty good going forward. Got the odd goal, quick enough, used the ball well.

Got caught out a bit at Hampden against Hearts when being pressed, and there was that thing with letting crosses in earlier this season (which was bizarre at it wasn't a problem before then wasn't a problem late in the season) but on the whole I thought he was a very good all round player.

If the new shiny exotic guy does as well as the guy signed from St Mirren who was nearer the end of his career than the start then I think we'll be quite happy.



If we're punting McGinn, flogging the unwanted Rocky straight after accidentally signing him, losing Porto as he has a year left on his contract, waiting for Hanlon to fully recover from surgery (surgery that was needed to correct an injury that he looked a bit ropey whilst playing through) and Clarke has gone from us to Arsenal then on to Stoke - then that's an awful lot of work still to be done on the defence, all whilst the players are back in training.

[basehibby]

It’s simply basic human decency. Whatever your opinion on JR, he worked hard for us and represented the club with class. Hence me wishing him luck in his future career - it’s not a comment on his achievements for us, just a small mark of respect for a guy who treated our club with respect.

Shame you can’t recognise that basic point.

THIS - there are a few juvenile thinkers on here who seem to think bitterness, spite and reinvention of history are somehow desirable qualities in a human being.

He did his bit for us, a good signing overall. Wish him all the best.

Clarke, McGinn and Rocky all likely to leave and McGregor being a fringe player, I think we should expect another defender soon.

I wonder where the defender will come from. If we were to look for someone who knows the league and is at a good age then Liam Gordon at St Johnstone would be a great signing, think he's got a bit to go on his contract at St Johnstone but wouldn't be on a massive wage. Not sure they would want to sell their better players after last season though.

There was a really random rumour in January linking the Livingston defender, Jack Fitzwater (I think that’s his name?) with a move to Newcastle.

I am assuming it would have been for there development side but even still, he maybe has a bit about him to be getting that sort of interest? I can’t say I remember anything about him though.

[JamesHFC]

Other than McGeady all I’ve heard about is a potential striker from England. Fully expect Doidge would have left under Maloney, he might get a chance under Johnson but if we can get a fee for him I think we will take it.

He's right.

"I hope he fails miserably" isn't just a simple message about competing with another team in the league.

It's pointed, personal and spiteful.

Surely it isn't when same could be said about every other manager in our league? I genuinely hope they all fail miserably. I support Hibs and want us to do well.

[Hibbyradge]

I hope all our opponents fail as clubs, but unless I had a specific dislike of a manager or player, I wouldn't be posting about them as individuals.

[Paulie Walnuts]

He's right.

"I hope he fails miserably" isn't just a simple message about competing with another team in the league.

Yes, it really is that simple a message. I should know as I posted it.

If Jack Ross had never been mentioned in the thread and I said “I hope Jack Ross fails miserably”, you’d maybe have a point. The discussion was about Jack Ross though with loads of people saying they hope he does well.

Jack Ross doing well makes it significantly less likely that Hibs will do well as you can already guarantee Rangers and Celtic will do well and I personally think you can probably throw Hearts into that as well. Doesn’t leave a lot of room for us to do well, especially if we’re hoping Dundee United do well as well. It’s simply the way sport is, there’s winners and losers.

There’s a limited amount of spots available for teams to do well. Forgive me for not wanting Jack Ross and Dundee United to get one of those spots leaving there being less chance of us getting one.

So again, I hope he fails miserably and by default that will mean Dundee United failing miserably.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Hang on, you’re trying to claim you only post about individual people within football if you have a dislike for them? Other than that you don’t post about individuals?

Now I’ve got to say, I don’t pay nearly enough attention to your posts to know if that’s the case but I’d hazard a guess I could probably find a post within your last 20 that is discussing an individual. As I probably could for near enough every poster on here.

Do you think it's reasonable to say "I hope Paul McGinn fails miserably" in response to his move to Motherwell/Dundee United?

Guess it's a matter of perception, but I agree with the others who say it appears spiteful.

I’m not going to lose any sleep whatsoever that you think that. It’s a ridiculous notion though.

I want Van Bronckhorst to fail miserably at Rangers. I know next to nothing about him personally other than he was a very good player who was actually quite enjoyable to watch. Certainly not someone I’ve got anything personal against.

People are so precious about Jack Ross on here that we’re apparently now all supposed to sit here and hope he makes the task of getting ourselves back up the table harder? :faf: no thanks.

Paul McGinn can go away and do well and still end up getting relegated. Paul McGinn doing well doesn’t have nearly as much of a detrimental effect on Hibs unless all his team mates do well as well.

If Jack Ross goes away and does well it’ll be because Dundee United as a team are doing well. They finished 4th last season so I’d suggest doing well means at least finishing top 6, more likely finishing in European spots and/or getting to Hampden. That’s bad news for Hibs. There is literally no positives for Hibs if Jack Ross does well at Dundee United. Only negatives.

As I said above though, I couldn’t care less if it looks spiteful - which it doesn’t and would never have been suggested had it not been someone that so many people are still weirdly fawning over. I always have and always will hope all the other managers and teams in the league fail miserably

There is a debate as to whether we as fans can influence how Hibs perform (e.g. financial support to improve playing budget, moral/vocal support during games), however, we certainly can't influence what opposition teams do and how they perform other than when they are playing us and so wishing/hoping other managers and teams fail is really just wasted energy. Focus on the things you can control/influence.

To be fair just noticed he's 31, would be a decent time to cash in , especially if they feel they won't weaken themselves

Heart's making room for Simms and Shankland 👀


I'm probably in the minority here but I'm not a fan of Simms. I fear Boyce considerably more and yes I remember the semi final. I think Boyce is a much more natural goalscorer, if Simms had put away that early chance in the final we may have had to endure a dreadful summer.

[HIBS NUTS]

I really liked paul mcginn, at least 7/10 every game, great attitude, scored the occasion goal.

and a oldish goalie.

So if D.U. only win 4 games all season (but they are all against Hibs) and lose all the rest. Then there’s no doubt that both D.Utd and J.R. will have ‘failed miserably’. Would you be happy with that?

Me personally? I don’t care who finishes 2nd to Hibs (so long as hertz are 2nd bottom and secvo are stone last) the rest can finish in any order they like. I have nowt against D. Utd or J.R. specifically (he was a respectful guy who did a decent job at E.R.) so don’t have any problems with either doing well…so long as it is not better or luckier than us, or in any way at Hibs expense.

The fact you’ve had to think up a situation which simply won’t happen to make your point really says it all.

Hibs best chance of being succesful is by being good ourselves and everyone else not being good.

Us being good and others also being good significantly decreases our chances of being succesful from the above scenario.

I think Paul McGinn done us a good turn but I agree with him leaving.

We will never improve with a bunch of Steady Eddies.

The two contracted players we are moving on (McGinn and Macey) gives me a bit encouragement.

Agree McGinn has done us a good turn but he’s the type of player that we’d have retained and retained and retained in the past because he was a good pro and wasn’t seen as being the biggest issue in the team. With Macey, we’ve seen the opportunity to improve the position and have. Hopefully Miller will prove to be similar in place of McGinn.

Have thought that our problems are as much about the quality of player we currently have contracted (it’s not as if we don’t have numbers) as it is about who we don’t have so Good to see the club doing something about it IMO.

Wanting the Dundee United manager to fail which as a consequence means Dundee United to fail has nothing to do with Dundee United?

This is really getting a bit silly now. People are claiming they never talk about individuals unless they’ve said something negative about Hibs (then coming back and saying a completely different thing 5 minutes later when they realise how ridiculous a statement that is) and now you are claiming how the Dundee United manager fairs has nothing to do with Dundee United.

Again, I posted the comment. I know better than anyone what I meant when I said it and why I want him to fail, even if those who bizarrely want to make Hibs task of being succesful even harder think otherwise.

Maybe everyone that wants Jack Ross (and by default Dundee United) to do well can all get on a bus for a trip to Ponteland when we miss out on Europe and Dundee United qualify.

McGinn left by mutual consent.

Some of the replies on twitter already ridiculous.

I wouldn't say I was Paul's biggest fan. I thought he let too many crosses in but I thought he contributed well going forward , always gave his all for Hibs and was/is an excellent professional. Any keyboard warriors who can't wish the guy the best going forward should just keep their small minded thoughts to themselves.

[xqnq1875]

Not all that bothered if Doidge was to go and we bring in a proper replacement - a number 9 of the calibre to start games and with a bit of experience,

It’s the replacement side of it that concerns me though.

Agreed mate I’d love to see us bring in a similar type of striker to what Simms was for hearts last season can finish and has the pace and strength

The fact you’ve had to think up a situation which simply won’t happen to make your point really says it all.

Hibs best chance of being succesful is by being good ourselves and everyone else not being good.

Us being good and others also being good significantly decreases our chances of being succesful from the above scenario.

All I did was present a possible (however unlikely) scenario that points out why your desire for JR to fail miserably could happen but would not be in Hibs best interests. My concerns are for Hibs and I don’t think I need to show spite towards JR any more or any less than all the other SPFL managers (other than the obvious 2) to express that.
You appear to think that JR failing is going to help Hibs … as I pointed out, that may not be how it happens.
So again, good luck to JR as long as it is not to our detriment.

[Northernhibee]

McGinn confirmed away - thank you Paul, model professional and a good player. Was delighted to see him get his cap for Scotland alongside his brother. Can be proud of his contribution to the club.

JR failing will help Hibs unless your one in a million scenario or some other one in a million scenario occurs. I’ll take my chances and continue to hope DU are gash.

I’m the same would have liked us to keep him even for squad depth understand the guy wants to play every week so fair play to him

[scotiaf]

McGinn away, in all honesty I thought he was good for Hibs and sad to see him go. If Doidge goes that’s a loss IMHO. The team from last year is unrecognizable and imagine there will be bedding in time before we hopefully start running.

[Golden Bear]

I don’t particularly rate the guy, too streaky misses too much etc etc however I’d much rather he was leaving the league he’ll def cause us problems coming up against him

[Borderhibbie76]

Doidge I like however he was a shadow of his former self after his injury and covid last season, if we are letting him good imagine its coz a replacement is lined up

[H18S NX]

All the best Paul,and thank you for your efforts.:aok:

[Since452]

Paul McGinn will go down in Hibs history as one of the three siblings to have played and scored for us. Incredible really. He should also be remembered in his own right. Good pro and player.

I’m worried that we’re still short on players especially strikers, it’s a position we’ve all known we’ve been short on for a good while and I would have hoped we would have addressed this by now.

[Unseen work]

Will be gutted if the rumours about Doidge are true.

Been a really good player for us and it was only last summer a lot viewed him as better than Nisbet/were a better team with him upfront than Nisbet. He started the season brilliantly and then got a really unfortunate injury, he’s not looked the same since but I’d imagine that’s purely down to coming back too early and not trusting his Achilles.

Whoever it is he goes to will be getting a really good and effective striker at this level, the type all team needs in terms of his physicality and ability in the air.

I never thought he’d suit Johnson’s style due to lack of mobility but whoever he brings in needs to have that physical presence he offered. Whether that’s someone like Simms or someone like Coke Stockton who are both more mobile.

[Big_Franck]

I don’t care how long the window has to run either because that old chestnut saw us fail to build a team last year.

With Hearts and Aberdeen signing a number of first team players already, pressure is on us to make signings and sharpish. For me only Marshall so far is going to come in and improve our first 11 from last year, so we've a lot of work to do.

I think the problem we have is that we aren’t short as such. Plenty numbers, it’s just quality, reliability or whatever that is an issue.

We’ve got four strikers but it remains to be seen if Doidge will be better after a pre season. Nisbet is still going to be out and then it’s two young, unproven players beyond that. Same in the middle of the park, loads of players but the majority failed us last year.

We need to do a bit more of what we’ve done today in finding a way to free up some of those we’ve got contracted IMO.

Exactly what I mean, we’re short on the quality we need to compete at the level we need to be competing at and the lack of quality signings to date has last summer written all over it and the type of signings has the winter window written all over it. I’d just like to see something to give me some confidence and quickly.

I’d probably keep Doidge but not sure as a starter. He’s had too many periods over his time here, through form and injury, where he’s not been on his day IMO.

I think he’s replaceable, certainly for the kind of fees we now spend. I don’t have confidence in our ability to spend our money well but that’s a different matter.

p.s. Good luck Paul McGinn but not against us…or does that not work for you either?

Trust me, the argument stands up. Not wanting a rival team in our own league to perform well stands up all over the globe in football. It’s absolutely ridiculous us to suggest otherwise.

You won’t go onto any other teams forum and find them wanting teams they’re challenging with to do well ffs, it’s a ridiculous notion. Do you think Liverpool.net are sitting there going “I hope Haaland does really well for Man City” or “I hope Pep is a great success at Man City next season” after they finished behind them last season?

If an individual result going a certain way will help us then of course I’ll want that result. Over the course of the season though, I want every team other than Hibs to perform abysmally.

Nobody has mentioned any guarantees. But a team that finished 4 places above us last season failing over the course of a season simply can’t be anything but a good thing for Hibs. You can pretend Dundee United doing well is good for Hibs all you like. It’s not and nobody would be sitting here proclaiming they hoped Dundee United were a good side next season if it was Tam Courts that was still manager.

More like half of last list are development players that shouldn't be expected to play 2 starts. No mess for me, the list has multiple kids in it that aren't for the first team, looks worse than it is. Few more out the door and a few in and we will be fine

Still plenty room to manoeuvre as rumours of Doidge, Porteous, McGregor, Rocky and Doig leaving.

Will be intersting to see what happens with the likes of Tait and Mackay, was really excited when we signed them.

Still alot of numbers and lack of known quality though - comparing it to hearts the bulk of their squad looks to be in the 23-28 age range and experienced with a slimmer squad.

I can't see a central Midfield role player coming in unless someone goes out as we currently have 7 first team players in that position.

If a player was to leave then I would think it would be Campbell, will be interesting to see if Tait can bring anything to the team this season.

Looking like Mcgeady is a goer and Doidge and Doig could be off I would like to see at least a replacement for both of these and a commanding center back would can push Porto and Hanlon for a first team jersey.

Was hoping for something this week but still time.

I’m really hoping LJ is still very keen on his flood the box tactic for crosses.

The amount cadden smashed across that would’ve been good balls if there were more in the box. As oppose to what seemed like never more than 2 in there watching Maloneyball

[Unseen work]

Don’t know how to quote all 3 responses but it’s just a personal opinion.

I think he might want someone a bit more creative/quality in the final third, although as said Cadden was one of our better players last year.

I think Mitchell has been a bit unlucky, think he started well and scored 2 goals in limited appearances, always direct and trying to make things happen.

Obviously Tavares is a complete unknown quantity, might be a case of us rotating the positions a lot.

Could well do… i just think that when he sees him playing, I can’t imagine he’ll be a regular starter all season….I’m sure he will get decent game time though…Cadden (albeit on other side ) is a better player in my view..

Mitchell would be competing for the wide right attacking role. He’d be providing a goal threat cutting in onto his left foot.

He’s played there for Blackpool

Mitchell plays on the left so can't see him having an impact on Cadden's playing time.

Cadden is an overlapping right back/wing back and gets forward as much as anyone else in our team. Just look at his goal against them in the semi. In their box.

Craig Sibbald left Livingston.

Can see him at a Motherwell.

Honestly, in my view, if Mitchell is to be a regular starter he will have to improve big time from anything we have seen him do so far…will be interesting to see if he has it in him.

Cadden has proven he is a good consistent player at our level. Mitchell hasn’t yet imo.

Cadden is an overlapping right back/wing back and gets forward as much as anyone else in our team. Just look at his goal against them in the semi. In their box.

Im sure Mitchell played on the right for Blackpool so he’d be familiar with it I’d imagine.

Ideally we’d bring in another winger though imo.

Johnson spoke last week about Mitchell playing on the right and he played there at times for Blackpool.

I don’t think he’s competing for the same position as Cadden. But I’m not sure the way Johnson will set up will suit Cadden. If we play with a back three then he’d probably be the right wing back. But if we play with a front three, I don’t think he plays on the right of that.

He actually said;

"Left back, left wing-back and probably right midfield with the speed that he's got"

I'd be really surprised if we're playing Demi on the right next year.

[The Modfather]

Honestly, in my view, if Mitchell is to be a regular starter he will have to improve big time for anything we have seen him do so far…will be interesting to see if he has it in him.

Cadden has proven he is a good consistent player at our level. Mitchell hasn’t yet imo.

While I agree with most of your post. It does potentially highlight that Cadden’s goals and assists were part of the problem last season, while also having sympathy with how few players we got into the box for him to pick out.

Cadden got 3 goals and 3 assists from 36 games last season. Mitchel got 2 goals and an assist from 7 games. Facing the same team limitations as Cadden.

He’s not effective enough as our attacking threat on the right. Either a willing runner from RB or RWB or he doesn’t play IMO.

I think Cadden will be disappointed by those stats..but overall, he was a good player for us last season, certainly needs to do better in final third.. Mitchell, for me has still to prove he can be a regular starter. Didn’t look like it in the few games last season…big season for him too..

That’s my thoughts, particularly your last sentence.

I think he’s competing with Miller for the right back spot as I think we’ll play with a back four most of the time. I just don’t see him playing higher up the park out wide.

This is how I see the squad as it currently stands. Obviously some players can cover more than one positions (Eg. Louis - CB, LB CM) and some more depth coming from the development squad/1st team squad.

IMO I think we need more depth across the front three, going by speculation if McGeady signs this would go a long way towards this. Another option to cover and challenge CB/RB would be welcome too. Whilst we have a few youngsters on the periphery I think we will only see them in spells of poor form or lots of injuries.

The big IF is the sale of key assets such as Doig and Porteous. With money coming in for these players we can obviously chuck some cash at some more expensive targets or in areas we are well stocked (CM).

[NAE NOOKIE]

Most of the last few pages have been pretty positive around Chris Cadden, some saying 'first name on the team sheet' etc. No denying he had a decent season, but jeezo that's all it was, decent.

I have nothing against Cadden, but is this the squad we have so far, one so bereft of real quality that we start peeing our pants if Chris Cadden cant make the starting line up. If that is the case we have a hell of a lot of work to do before the window closes.

Cadden can’t beat a man. Crosses early or blind whether a striker is in position or not. Never ever a RW. I see a lot of promise as a right back. Great engine and will be there to support a RW.

It’s not that Cadden is miles better than anyone but he’s marginally better than nearly all of them.

Last season saw us hideously short of creativity and in Cadden we at least saw someone who beat his man regularly and put balls into the box that deserved better. I guess we’re maybe hoping that a new manager, a new emphasis on getting bodies into the box might make us look more dangerous from those chances.

Cadden may not be the answer to all of our problems but he’s one of those who you could more easily see being part of a solution. I always think we look poorer when he’s out injured or if we piss about with him out of position, like on the left wing.

I can’t decide what to make of these squad lists. Sometimes I look at them and think it looks close to being decent, sometimes I look at it and think it looks horrific. My main concern is that I see it getting a good bit worse with the potential departures of Doig and Porto and I have serious reservations about our ability to bring in adequate, reliable quality to sufficiently improve us from there. It still looks only a couple of (not exactly unthinkable) injuries to injury prone players away from being relegation standard again.

[Unseen work]

One of the two is surely McGeady.

No idea who the other could be, hopefully someone that’s a certainty to start and has a bit of quality and experience.

[basehibby]

I think it speaks volumes that McGinn came in as competition for SDG and ended up taking over that role with nary a whisper of discontent from the stands.
A fully committed competent and intelligent player with a big heart. You never got anything less than 100% from McGinn and he chipped in with important goals as well.
He would have been a keeper for me to see out his well earned 1 year extension - hopefully the players brought in will step up and prove me wrong but I don't see McGinn's exit as a good move.

This is what concerns me too. We are still to address our lack of quality but that may be nullified by losing whatever quality we already have. We don’t have a senior striker with Nisbet injured until at least Christmas and Doidge either being let go or still unfit. We were short at the beginning of last season and that was before Doidge got injured and not replaced. The players we’ve brought in are completely untried at this level, just like Mueller, Jasper and Melkerson.

As it stands there doesn’t look like an adequate squad is being assembled and we’re off to summer training camp next week. It’s not filling me with hope.

We had so few players attacking the box, though. I thought Cadden consistently supplied decent crosses but nobody got there to do something with them.

IIRC he scored from a cross vs Livingston and that meant he had more goals than assists from crosses. But cmon, he never had any quality latching on to what he was providing.

We'll do well to replace doidge with a better player. Quality on his day. Think this is a mistake. Looking desperately unprepared for the season as things stand

Absolutely agree.

Before his injury issues he was widely hailed as the number 9 we had been crying out for for years.Good in both boxes and a real handful upfront. Scored goals and gave us the best of Kevin Nisbet.

There's nobody disputing he was rubbish after his injury last season. So it comes down to that surely , do we/Hibs think he will get back to what he was pre injury or not. If not then it's right to let him go. If he can get back to it then is pure folly to be letting him go as he would be a big asset. We will be doing well to bring in better than than the pre-injured Doidge and hopefully the replacement (2 actually, given we need a striker with Doidge in the building) is not another inexperienced project that has played British football before... or is just quality

[Greenworld]

I can't see a central Midfield role player coming in unless someone goes out as we currently have 7 first team players in that position.

If a player was to leave then I would think it would be Campbell, will be interesting to see if Tait can bring anything to the team this season.

Looking like Mcgeady is a goer and Doidge and Doig could be off I would like to see at least a replacement for both of these and a commanding center back would can push Porto and Hanlon for a first team jersey.

Was hoping for something this week but still time.That looks to big a squad to me if we are to be bringing in another 3 or 4 players some will need to go

This is how tabloids operate.

I believe Hibs are poised to step up their interest in McGeady - and significant developments could happen in the next 24-48 hours.

Nothing above can be disproved, unless Hibs categorically deny any interest (which obviously won’t happen, given as it’s already public).

If nothing happens by tomorrow I’ll just mention stumbling blocks or that I understand the parties remain some distance apart in negotiations.

Not necessarily as he didn't say that would be the end of our transfer dealings. It was in answer to a question about players coming in soon but the window is open for ages yet.

I would hope that the players moving out would be doing so because we were bringing better replacements in. That can only be a good thing.

So we have 2 coming in very soon. AM and a Striker.....with 2 more coming assuming others are moved on. You'd think one would be a CB, another being a Left Sided player perhaps. I can;t imagine we will get much more than that and I dont think we need more than that unless we are getting rid of about 6 or 7 players.

[B.H.F.C]

That's pretty worrying to be honest. Squad is nowhere near good enough and if we are waiting on others moving out first it doesn't suggest there's much budget left.

It is a concern but not a surprise.

We’ve given a lot of players long contracts, even under performing ones. As much as I keep reading that there is two and a bit months until the window closes, there comes a point where you can’t just keep signing players. And with the squad being low on quality in certain positions, we despite us having good numbers, it gives us a problem as boys aren’t going to walk away from three year deals that they’re sitting on, easily.

Perhaps the club are taking the novel approach of expecting a better coach to get more out of existing players than his predecessor did.

Mowbray, Stubbs, Lennon and Ross (all considered good managers) raised the levels of players they inherited, some of whom had been written off before the new manager’s arrival.

We will bring in new players but if Johnson is a good manager he will also improve the players already at the club.
