I really rated him a couple of years ago. Don't know if he's still got it, but a 31 year old holding mid usually has a couple of years in his legs.Quote:

I’m happy with this
Only left St Mirren due to injury, and was their captain last season
Ross rates him, gives us cover, probably very low wages. No. Inside info but can reckon Halberg will be moved on
Family deal :). Welcome Stephen..and good luck !
We’ve completed the set!
Is there a cousin McGinn that’s next ?! Should be a good addition when called upon.
Come home SJM!!!!
This must be a joke
Can’t say im overly happy with this but willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
Hes been training with us since we started back up but it’s took us until now to sign him on a 1 year deal? Seems very like we’ve not got who we’ve wanted and this is the back ups back up.
Its not like he was an unknown quantity either and wanted to assess how good he is, he’s been in the league for years and Ross has even managed him.
I imagine he will only ever be used as backup for Gogic however.

Hopefully he does well. Will have full support from me.
Mcrorie to mcginn....
Get rid of Slivka/Whittaker and bring in Stephen McGinn, ok thenQuote:

I'm not going to make the same mistake and write off a McGinn before he's had a chance to show what he can offer us! Paul has made me look a right mug, and gladly so!
Feel Absoloutely rotten saying this, as he's a Mcginn. But He's been training with us for about 3 months. And only just been offered a deal now. Says it all. No one else wants him, jack ross doesn't want to see his pal go without a wage. So he makes a role up for him. We've already got Gray and Mcgregor for 'experience and leadership' off the park. This isn't a retirement home. We miss out on Mccrorie and they hit us with this? Away hibs. It's a regular starter we need. If he's on peanuts and it's just a bit of cover fine. But we need a midfielder that's going to walk into the starting line up and drive us on.
How come?Quote:

He’s been helping out with the coaching side of things, watching the games from the stand whilst sending info down to the dugout. I’d imagine that’s what he’s here for but he also gives us an extra body in the midfield if needed
If he is even 75% the player Paul McGinn is/50% the player John McGinn is this is a good signing :greengrin
In all seriousness, happy with this. Won't be expensive, good experience and has apparently been very useful for tactical use from the stands in recent games. Very low risk signing.
I suspect he’s not the McCrorie replacement.Quote:

Probably for a fraction of the costQuote:

Why can't Gray or Mcgregor do that? I thought that was part of the reason for the 4 year deal.Quote:

We are 2nd in the league in the middle of the biggest financial crisis to ever hit the game. Cool your jets. Hibs have given Ross good backing in the current climate yet a few posters are really upset we have missed out on one or two signings to cash-rich Aberdeen. From a level-headed perspective, Hibs have done really well this window so far. This is a low-risk and low-cost signing.Quote:
