    Steady enough player, good option to have. Can play RB, DC and DM. No complaints for me as long as we get others in too.

    That covers the drivel
    The only good bit on the thread is Smarties song

    You’re not McGinn
    Super John McGinn
    I don’t think Jack Ross understands
    We wanted Stubbsy’s man
    But got “the ither wan”
    You’re not Super John McGinn

    He's a McGinn, so he'll be made of the right stuff anyway. Can't say he's ever caught my eye but I'm expecting a model pro who won't be found wanting physically (if he signs, of course).

    No thanks for me. I would prefer a bit more quality.

    I like this type of signing and trust Ross to know that he’s right for us.

    Underwhelming would be sugar-coating it. Shan signing that.

  15. #14
    From the little I`ve seen of him I think he`d be a good signing . I`ve been quite impressed by Naismith but with his bad injury and Gray`s fitness problems plus doubts about James and Whittaker we probably need someone in . What are alternatives ? We`ve got a lot of matches coming up and hopefully will have a cup run so need to have cover for all positions .

  16. #15
    With Naismith injured and Gray struggling for fitness. I think McGinn is a good signing. Not a risk regarding outlay. I predict Hibs supporters will be surprised how well he will do. Loves to get forward. A Yes from me.👍🇳🇬

    My #2 choice, so not a bad shout at all

    #1 preference would be O'Donnell.
    How many times in a decade do the circumstances arise where the current Scotland fullback is available on a pre-contract free transfer from Killie?
    We'd get 5 excellent years out of o'Donnell, worth the outlay

    Is he getting a game for St Mirren, seen that he came on for the last minute in today's game, is he coming back from a injury or something or not good enough to start for the buddies.

  19. #18
    I'd love to see him sign for us!
    That family have a touch of class about them,hopefully he fancies the prospect of being a hibee.👍

    Aberdeen was the rumour.

    O'Donnell is on record as saying he won't make a decision until the end of the season. He'll see his contract out and won't be short of offers.

    Was he with his mum at the parade the day after the cup final?

    I seem to remember he was.

    Seems he played the full game in their win v Killie then not in the squad v Rangers. I'd assume he was injured. Looks like Goodwin stuck with the team that stood up well against Rangers for their game against Aberdeen.

    Strikes me as a bit of a stop gap/cover signing. He's got plenty of experience so maybe a solid enough option to take us through to the end of the season.

    I do recall him outshining his wee brother when they beat us in Paisley under Jack Ross not long before we won the Championship. Probably extra fired up for that one.

    He's been in the starting 11 91% of the time for St Mirren and also played 91% of available minutes.

    Not the most exciting signing but we somehow need cover at right back. If we can offload James then I'm fine.

    It's not that we're signing a backup RB that is the problem, it's that we still haven't addressed the need for a ball winning midfielder.

    He’s a run of the mill bottom 6 spl defender and is 30 this year so it’s not like he’s a prospect we can develop.

    As much as I heard he had a poor first half on saturday, I’d far rather see tom james get a run in the side before we sign paul mcginn. We have gray and if need be whittaker who can cover at rb already, we’re not desperate.

    It’s just a really uninspiring signing and if we’re paying a fee, an awful waste of money.

    SW has been ripped a new arse from what I remember I want him knowhere near RB. We have injuries. If he just defends then I'm happy we will be looking at bigger and better for the key areas needed.

    A RB was not on the agenda just 2 weeks ago unfortunately circumstances have changed that. Rather than starting to waste time on looking for RBs or seeing if T.James works Jack Ross is bringing in a player who is capable.
