I know he’s really popular but he’s not for me, I think he’s a big huddy. For the money he’d likely cost I’d rather we looked elsewhere.

Looked good for Kilmarnock, didn't look good playing for Scotland

Maybe McGinn being used as a centre back this season or moved on

I still think he's too small and light to be a CH, yes he can cover there but to be honest McGinn was only bought out of desperation, any other situation and he'd be nowhere near our team.

Someone needs to want McGinn first. Certainly won’t be any of the big hitters judging by his recent performances. The Man Utd/Chelsea rumours will soon be Bournemouth/Newcastle. No one will be spending big this summer. So unfortunate for Hibs

McGinn and Grealish both going to Leeds if Villa go down and Leeds come up (according to a Leeds fan mate) £18 million for mcginn £27 million for

It's easy to see why there's going to be no real money available to sign the likes of McGinn when all the Hearts squad start flooding the EPl. Hickey alone will wipe out any big clubs budget.

When did the thieves actually sell a player they've developed to a top flight club for serious money and sell on?

Definitely and I would hope that we aren’t overlooking very good right backs available because we have McGinn to play there because he’s simply not good enough at a higher level.

His comments on Sportsound suggested to me this could be correct! I thought he hinted that Hibs may be a potential destination for him

What did he say on sportsound?

These Jambos certainly have an insight to all British football goings - on, did he say what these teams accounts were looking like

My thoughts are that the club know what they are doing on areas we need to stop or change and those we need to invest in.

It is happening at every club in the world.

Exactly. Juventus players agreed a 4 month wage cut that saved the club around £80m. And I guarantee they will be active in the transfer market this month summer.

We all know how Hearts handled this and are still throwing money at Neilson, Gordon and apparently Nesbit.

I don't want anyone at Hibs to lose their job but I have very little sympathy for the first team players. We were poor for the long spells last year and many of them were not earning their salaries in terms of performances on the park.

Losing back room staff is a concern and I really hope any losses are minimised but the bottom line is we are a football team and its up to the owner, manager etc to get the best team on the park. That encourages fans back and will lead to healthier finances long term for the club.

How many RB's do we need?

O'Donnell is better than any we have.

If he's a huddy I'd hate to see what you call James and Paul mcginn.

Exactly. None of the full backs at the club right now are of the standard we need going forward. Couple of great servants in there but we do need to move on.

Tom James is poor and Paul Mcginn has looked alright since he came in, been pleasantly surprised to be honest.

We are. If James finalises his move back to England it's a goer.

Losing James and gaining O'Donnell would be an upgrade of epic proportions

When we won 2-1 at Killie at the end of last season, O'Donnell was excellent. Him & Burke dominated the last 20 mins. If he stays in Scotland, I think we'll get him, but I fear there'll be more lucrative offers down south.

[Keyser Sauzee]

If we sign O’Donnell then I think we need to sign an attacking LB aswell. No use in just having one as teams will just double up on that side. Lewis is still a steady performer but needs replaced as a starter.

[Heisenberg]

O’Donnell would be our best right back by a distance I reckon. Surely there will still be plenty competition for him though and it’s not a position we are light in.

[04Sauzee]

As much as O'Donnell would be a great signing we would still have Gray and McGinn and that's assuming we move James on.

Are we likely to be in the market for a right back?

My exact thoughts earlier on this thread, we'd need to move on 2 of the RB's that are here or we'll have that same big imbalance we had last season, move on James and McGinn and have Gray as back up.

Thought when McGinn came in they said he can play across the back 4 so I guess he could start on the left as an option.

Gray hasn't been a reliable option for nearly 3 years now. If O'Donnell is available and we chose Gray we are absolutely mental.

O’donnell is apparently training with Accies

Not with a view to signing?
He was on that 9 o'clock program last night and he was training on his own he said

If we can get O’Donnell in we definitely should. No one would have thought this possible until now. Then we can worry about who gets shifted and when.

TBF Gray did play 32 games in season 18-19, the season before and last season he had 12 and 6 games due to injury problems, I'm hopeful this extended rest period due to Covid has allowed him to get himself fit again, he is only 32 and could still be a very good back up to a younger RB.

I agree and think he is very attack minded, which is what I ant to see in a wingback. If Gray and McGregor are being utilised as coaches which many on here think was the plan with their long contracts, then a fit Gray could be a decent back up option.

[Onceinawhile]

O'donnell is apparently a very good right back. But I've never noticed it.

[JammyDoidger]

Daniel Harvie from ayr is a name I've heard mentioned. Not sure if it's likely or not but heard he's one we might be interested in. Left back.
