    Don’t sell John McGinn.

    Not unless an amazing offer comes in. He’s worth too much to us.

    That appears to be Hibs stance so far, to be fair.

    Don’t Sell McGinn, Super John McGinn, I just don’t think you understand... if you sell McGinn, Super John Mcginn, you’re gonna have a riot on your hands!!

    Anything less than £5 million shouldn't even be worthy of a reply from Hibs.

    Absolute joy to watch today.

    Leeann was only ever going to accept an offer if it met two criteria:-

    1. Too much money to refuse and
    2. Early enough in the transfer window to buy a replacement

    That’s why Celtic’s tactics have been derisory from day 1. They wrongly assumed we wanted to sell to them.

    They are so misguided

    At the half time commentary on Radio Scotland they were raving about McGinn, saying that he’s a snip at £4m. They reckoned there was surprisingly little interest from England maybe because there’s a snobbery with them where they want to spend £20m on a player and are turning up their noses at a few million for a Scorttish player. Interesting to see if there’s any movement early this week.

    100% do all we can to just keep him on improved terms or let his contract run. He's the difference.

    If he goes, I think we have the quality to continue to do well and will strengthen, but we definitely won’t be as good or as successful without him.

    When he went off I was thinking please don’t let that be his last game. Old enough to know the economics but it will hurt if he goes.

    I'm very much leaning towards keeping him here this season and letting him go for free in the summer if need be, he's worth more to us on the pitch right now.

    Awesome performance today. If and when he goes he will be badly missed. M.OT.M for me.

    Every person sitting round me today said the same thing

    Losing him ahead of Thursday will be such a kick in the nads, even if it a massive bid he will leave such a hole in the midfield (and on todays performance Slivka aint quite ready for the step up to that role).

    For me, it has to be a truly enormous sum of money (£6-7m which wont happen), plus at least one of the buying clubs other midfielders on loan for the season.

    I wouldn’t even think about selling him before Thursday and would be quite happy to see him leave for nothing at the end of the season..

    100%. One more successful season with a totally committed boiler house and I would be happy to see him shape his future with the team of his choice, even if it’s a bad choice.

    Maybe we should bombard him with adoration on social media begging him to sign a new deal. McLaren mentioned it as a factor in his return 😀

    Whatever happens with him, I'll always love the guy. He's given Hibs so much, more than any other player since I've been old enough to really watch Hibs (I'm 23)

    I'm also leaning towards that as well now.

    I don’t think we should let him go, because we don’t have that driving force kind of a player within our ranks at the moment and I don’t see any replacements. My honest belief is that Hibs may tank after losing this guy - maybe not right away, but over the course of the season.

    And don’t say Slivka is the answer.

    I've never seen a player with so much speculation about him kick on and got even better, he is the real deal and we should just thank ourselves lucky we once had him, different class imo

    I said today sometimes you see a opposition player like Gazza Laudrup Laursen and stand back and admire. Well for me SJM is that bracket

    Ideal scenario is keep him but make him a really good offer to extend his contract by a year. We cant really afford to let a valuable asset like John leave for nothing.....that would be crazy. He has always said he would look after Saints and us so all he has to to is extend. If he wants to go then that's another story but nothing I have seen suggests that

    He most certainly isn't

    They were saying on sportsound that there was a large number of scouts in the stand today to watch John. When he goes, I hope we get a decent price and he goes on to bigger and better things

    I might have missed something but have we offered him a new deal that he’s rejected?

    Absolutely love how Hibs are standing their ground over this so far. If he goes for free at the end of the season then so be it, we’ll have had our money worth. The guy is pure gold for us and I’d love it if we got another year from him.

    Very much in favour of keeping him unless really silly money is offered. I'm impressed not just by his sublime skills but by how well he's handled all this - rather than throwing his toys out and stropping about his "big move" as so many others have done. I hope he stays for this season even though it will leave us with no cash for him because it would have to be a hell of a lot of cash to be worth his contribution to this team over a season - a top quality player who's constantly getting better.

    From Kerrydale Street:

    Had a great game today apparently. English scouts out in force (so it says).

    He's exactly the type of player we should be picking up from the SPL. Any other league in the world we are looking at a fee north of £10 Million in the current climate. I'm not suggesting we should pay over the odds but I'm almost certain he'll end up with us, either now or in January.

    Just pay his true value and close your 78 page thread about a player you are ‘indifferent’ about. Cheapskates.

    Keep him tell them all to bolt unless it is an offer we can’t refuse we would also have to find a similar / adequate replacement ????

    If he was playing in an English team he'd be priced at 15-20 million. Celtc can ram it.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    One things for sure. If we still gave him in January and his performance level remains the same we will still get at least 3 million even with just a few months of his contract left. Someone will pay to get him ahead of next summer.
