Happy with the signing.Folk seem to forget its not all about the first 11.We need a squad to cover injuries,suspensions and Covid 19.Its a long season and i dont see McGinn as a first pick but he will be handy for cover.Dont panic i am sure a first team pick will be signed soon.
With the UEFA Covid rule saying you must put a team on the park even if you only have 13 players then having options to pad your squad with reasonably proven cheaply in financially challenging times makes sense. He has a good CV, he has attributes we can utilise, he's not a poor player nor is he a world beater but he's a better bet than some in the current environment. Lets see what pans out first before we slate him or the manager.
Genuine question, but what did you think we signed his brother Paul ? I’m not saying you did but more than one poster said he wasn’t good enough if we wanted to be challenging for 3rd. I don’t believe the money we had earmarked for McCrorie has disappeared, maybe we will still sign another promising youngster with potential for making us money in the future. Like we did with Nisbet.Quote:

Agree seems like sensible cover in the squad but no doubt won't stop drama queen style posts. Good experience in an area we are lacking. Always liked him as a player and imo will do a job when needed. Still expect to see another type of midfielder brought in.Quote:

Murphy, McGinn....what next antony stokes...
Why are we signing cover, though? I don't really get it. Cover is great when your first team is sorted. Ours isn't.Quote:

What if adequate cover at the right price becomes available before the first team starter and you know you need both?Quote:

Mallan is garbage when deeper and it has distracted a lot of folk from the fact that he’s a handy attacking player.
I felt we were 2 midfielders short - defensive or “box to box” types. I’d be disappointed if McGinn has signed to be a mainstay of the team but I’d be delighted to have solid back-up, and if he forces his way in and stay there - then who knows?
Was Gary Smith not signed on a short term contract to help out in a crisis, then couldn’t be dislodged from the team for years?
Yep nothing to moan about since Saturday then pile in on this.Quote:

Absolutely. He's been training with us for a while too so will fit in seamlessly. Like you say, no brainer.Quote:
