Forest of Dean Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 4 hours ago, Dons_1988 said: Is McGinn really a replacement for brown? I wouldn’t say so. He's not near that level yet and might never be. In terms of current performance levels he's also not likely worth anything over £4m. However they would pay that for potential and the fact that McGinn would be the type of player to stay for a long time - essentially being the new Brown in terms of longevity. It's a smart strategy to mix it up with the best young Scottish players as well as foreign quality like Ntcham as the foreigners are more likely to want to move to the EPL quicker imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Don’t worry once their derisory offer of £400k + add ons is received you can start dealing with clubs down south that are prepared to pay the going rate. Of course if McGinn was based in France and called Pierre McGinn the offer would be £3m+ Brexit voter found. A bit thick this analogy as if he had proved himself in a much better league he would be going for well above 3 million. Anyway I could see him going for much the same amount of money as Brown which would be decent for Hibs given hes out of contract in a year I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Is McGinn really a replacement for brown? I wouldn’t say so. Hes not a carbon copy but his tenacity is really what we are looking for. For me Brown was a totally different player at hibs but had to adjust his game as attacking wise he wasnt as good as Robson/Nakamura etc. Paul Hartley had to do the same. Brown took way longer than Hartley to adjust which is why I would rather have Mcginn in now to learn off Brown to make the transition easier. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair.I don’t doubt McGinns ability which my original post may have suggested. I just don’t see him as like for like.But you are correct, I remember Scott brown playing as almost a right winger for Scotland in his younger days.FWIW as good as brown is I hope McGinn is in no rush to abandon his current style of football to become a brown type player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in that scenario it would give us the opportunity to dig out the 'Pierre, there's only one Pierre' chant again.

TheCelt67 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 It seems we're being linked with a move for Joe Hart. The ever reliable Facebook fan page sources make us bookies favourites to sign him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

senorsoupe Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 It's official, Scott Bain will join permanently in the summer on a four year deal. Seems to be a long contract for him, he's been good but not sure he deserves 4 years. Could end up being one of these guys like Scott Allan we are stuck with. On the plus side it helps make Neil McCann look even more foolish https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44076531 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without that he would have spent the six months on the bench but he got a chance to play and did well. He's since done well in more recent games 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think most keepers in Scotland could have performed as well as him in the games since he's had very little to do 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 New contract Klaxon!! https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44110323 Kristoffer Ajer has signed a new 4 year deal. I think this is excellent news, he's been one of the pleasant surprises of the season and is one of the best young defenders playing in Scotland today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeMentalDavie Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Good news about Ajer, our most reliable centre half and still only 19 or 20.

Aye tho not at the time, I'd forgotten about that post or I'd have came back and edited it. Though it is pretty close to Shoes real account in my defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
