John McGinn left us 7 years ago. The transfer market has changed a lot in that time. We didn’t have EPL clubs queueing up to sign SJM. We got a fair offer from Villa - at that time. As the other poster said, Celtic were the ones trying to shaft us. Shafted by Villa is nonsense - which you have almost acknowledged yourself. Different times, different market.Quote:

Maybe Porto would do well in Italy?Quote:

This comes for all are young talents getting hoovered up for pennies as well. I know it's easier said than done though.Quote:

You're not really addressing my points, just comparing him to our current centre backs. As I said, there's more to being a good footballer that innate ability.Quote:

If Hibs end up with Porteous, Bushiri, Iredale, O'Hora and Ekpiteta as the choices for a back three with both Obita and Miller as further options then I think that we will be in a very good place.
Not sure how likely it is but hopefully the competition for places would push standards upwards.
In central midfield, if we get Triantis back and maybe Simons then added to McGrath and a virtual new signing in Manneh then again it looks like we have options and competition.
Working on the assumption that Vente and Youan leave then we probably need at least one wide attacking player and maybe two forwards especially if Hoillet doesn't resign.
Probably the best position we have been in a this time of year for many years.

I suspect we'll see one or more from Miller, O'Hora and Ekpiteta depart if Porteous comes back.Quote:

Up front looks like there are going to be incomers, with Gayle, Vente and Youan departing and Myko's loan over. Would like Hoilett for another year and a couple of different options as strikers.
Northern echo running with the same story that Sunderland are looking for over £1m for Triantis . I wonder how much more than a million they might want ? …

Plenty of opportunity for O'Hora and Ekpiteta to show what they can do when Porteous is suspended.

I’m not sure its that big a deal. I think the board will provide the cash for this - if Triantis wants to sign for us. The big danger is interest from other clubs and if he fancies a different challenge. Big decision for him with the World Cup in mind.Quote:

Already confirmed - GK and McGrath (plus Manneh from Jan)
We would be one striker to replace Gayle away from the strongest Hibs team in generations.
That back line would be so strong.
They'll need them all for their epic European Campaign!Quote:

We also need to remember that he's only 18 and already a full Scottish international. I don't think McGinn played for Scotland until he was 20/21.
1 year left on his contract doesn’t put Motherwell in all that strong a position surely.Quote:
