Good player whenever he managed to get on the pitch at Brentford, but so injury prone.Quote:

I think we will get a windfall either way. SJM gets promotion then we will see upwards of £2 million according to conversations Steve Bruce had after the transfer. If they don't win, there will be a clamour of clubs bidding for him in the Premiership for which we have a sizeable sell on. For all those that slate Rod, he's not daft :wink::greengrinQuote:

One thing I think it highlights to young, hungry talent is that it pays to not 'chase the money' and to do your apprenticeship and get a few seasons with the likes of Hibs under your belt. And live your life off the pitch properly :aok:
Would we not be better if they got promoted and then someone bought him?Quote:

A motm performance at Wembley will go a long way to him going for mega money and we all know John likes the big occasion.Quote:

I honestly don’t think Villa will sell McGinn in the near future regardless of Monday’s result. They are cash rich now and he’s a huge fans favourite ... second only to Jack Grealish. Some EPL team would need to blow them away with an incredible offer and I just don’t see it after only 1 year down there. I doubt even a bid of £25-30 million would be accepted.Quote:

Brophy anyone?
Yes, very good player. Strong and pacey. Heard something?Quote:

McGinn might want to move ...Quote:

I'd carry him to Easter RoadQuote:

That will come to an end.
If he wants a move, he won't need to abandon Villa, he'll simply see out his contract.
And like us, Villa won't allow that to happen without recompense.
Villa don't get promoted they may need to start bringing in some money to the clubQuote:

Very likely he will stay there next season whether they get promoted or not.
He may but we’ve seen he’s not an agitator and is on a good number down there.Quote:

Villa are massive - back in the EPL and they’re one of the top 10 clubs in England IMO.
No Premiership parachute payment may say otherwise. I could easily see him getting into the likes of Newcastle or West Ham sides.Quote:

Agreed, there is no chance of SJM leaving Villa in the coming season. Even if, as you say Villa get an offer of about £30m it would cost them that to replace him & their fans would go crazy. The windfall if Villa get promoted is a bonus, we'll have to wait a while for sell on cash.Quote:
