Good signing. Solid pro.

Were not allowed to say such things there is no controversy in it.
I for one agree though every team needs three or four solid pros the unsung heroes

Cover till the summer when the proper rebuild will begin

He'll be here a lot longer than that.

The laddie is Mr Versatility and he'll get a lot of games all over the defence.

In the minority here but think McGinn is not a bad signing for what it will cost.We moan when we sign lower tier english players that dont know our league and still moan when we sign solid Scottish Premier players that know our league.Yes not a glamour signing but will do a job.We need two players for every position in my opinion.

I'm sure you're in the majority.

[Since452]

A solid Premiership player that plays every week instead of a rusty Tom James and Gray who's sadly on the decline. It's not box office but exactly what is needed

Run of the mill defender approaching 30? Could’ve said that about Darren McGregor when we signed him and he turned out no too bad. Give him a chance FFS

Pretty disappointed at some of the arrogance shown about signing a player from St Mirren and disrespect shown to the brother of SJM. Same folk would probably be buzzing if we signed someone with an exotic name even though they came from Swindon Town

I’ll trust the judgement of the St Mirren supporters who watch him every week and are disappointed over those who have seen him once or twice and are underwhelmed purely as it’s an ‘unfashionable’ signing

That’ll be darren mcgregor that had just won POTY at rangers a few months before we signed him? Plenty.

[Vault Boy]

Think I'm right in saying that squad numbers 5 and 6 are both available. McGinn will take 5 or 19 I think.

Will still have a number 6 to fill, you know what to do Hibs. 😇

Playing in which division? Don't think that does anything to negate the point made in the other post.

I didn’t say I’m happy with the Paul McGinn signing nor did I make the family link as you suggest. I think Ross, given financial restraints of managing Hibs and his prior experience of working with McGinn, has gone for someone he thinks can do a job for the remainder of the season. I don’t think a long term solution would happen in this window and I feel we should trust Ross’s judgement and not write him off before a ball has been kicked. We are clearly not in the same financial league as the ugly sisters, Aberdeen and the Jambos who are picking up players with potential.

I don't think he has worked with him.

IIRC he signed him but left to go to Sunderland before he got the chance to play him.

Worked with him at Dumbarton I think.

I’d hope any players we sign now, be it permanent or loan, are for the first team and will improve us. That may or may not be McGinn, and versatility does of course have a place, but we already have Whittaker & James as stop gaps for various positions. Unless McGinn is a good right back don’t think we need anymore versatility.

Hypothetical, but could we have better spent Whittaker, James & potentially McGinns wage on either a designated first pick or a specific back up rather than a collection of jack of all trades master of none. It isn’t McGinn’s fault, but we will have 5 RB’s and one LB.

Agreed. I think he’ll surprise a lot of people if he does sign.

Possibly McGinn is being signed to start for the first team in light of the injuries. In that scenario Whittaker would still be the stop gap and Gray making an important contribution when fit. Longer term Gray and Whittaker move more towards coaching so what then? And although folk count him Naismith isn't even our player. We might like to sign him but what if Peterborough prove hard to deal with?

Signing McGinn for his experience and versatility and signing him under current circumstances makes so much sense.

[Crutch]

Might get torn apart for this...

But from what I've seen, ability-wise Paul McGinn & Lewie are probably on par with eachother. Both have their limitations - but I reckon he's the type, like Stevenson, that ultimately gives you everything and rarely lets you down.

I'm all for him coming in, do a job and see what comes of it. He might surprise a few.

[Aim Here]

I'm sure we don't really need 5 right backs on the books, despite Naismith and Gray being broken, so getting McGinn in is part of the deHeckification of the team roster and getting (hopefully) Tom James off the wage bill, so I'm for it. I'm assuming this McGinn gadgie is both cheaper and better, or at least cheaper and not worse.

It does mean we're not bringing Efe back, mindyou...

[Greenworld]

According to black and white they think it is a done deal a complete of comments also

We are short at left back and centre half and would be screwed if any more injuries happened in those areas. James & McGinn can both play across the back line

If we sign McGinn we will have 8 fit players to cover 4 defensive positions. Two of which are still recovering from long-term injuries themselves.

James won't be going anywhere just now because we just don't have the bodies to spare and he can fit in wherever needed, just like McGinn.

If he does sign will he be cup tied . He was unused sub in St Mirrens game with Broxburn

Aren't players only cup tied if they come off the bench these days?

[heretoday]

We should always have a McGinn in the team even if he's not too great.

Ryan Christie played against us when loaned out to Aberdeen, sure he had been on Celtic's bench in a previous round because there was a lot questioning it then

Of all of the antiquated rules that still exist that one must be one of the worst and should have been abandoned years ago. Transfer windows did away for the need for that cup-tied rules and I'm sure if challenged in court would be done away with as restraint of trade (or whatever the current terminology is).

We've got McGinn, Super Paul McGinn, ah just don't think you understand,
He's Jack Ross's man, he's better than Jap Stam, we've got super Paul McGinn!

Whats yours?

I’m big fan of 100% men and I think on that basis I would be satisfied with the signing. He knows the league and should have no adjustment issues.

From a managerial point of view I think it’s a sensible If somewhat conservative move.
