You tried to get him on a PCA in Jan with a higher salary on offer than he was on at Hibs................. Top half sides tend to pay more 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I just can’t see McGinn getting a game with us unless SOD is away.Right back is pretty low down in our priority list surely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you guys were reportedly paying Mueller £8-10k per week . Wage bill will be double ours at least. Anyway we shall see if it comes off or not. McGinn's headline wage would presumably have been three years old and his current number at Hibs would have included the 20% (?) Corona cut they had? So given we came through the pandemic well, and indeed to the outside world are absolutely loaded, I don't think it's impossible we're offering more in this instance, even if Hibs will normally be paying way more than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handsome_Devil Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Just seen it confirmed - not exactly one to set the pulse racing but solid enough. We don't seem to have specified his contract though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Cabbage Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Annoyed we let him go, not exactly a stand out but a solid player and good to have around the club. Seriously worried about how our squad is looking but that’s for another thread! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Aldo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 A very meh signing. Will no doubt do us a turn but not one to get excited about.Let me know when we've signed a 24 year old "anywhere across the front 3" striker from Kettering Town who has scored 5 goals in his entire career. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd heard a kind of half rumour, in a 'guy who knows a guy' type way that SOD would be allowed to leave on a free if someone came in for him. We're not the kind of club who would ordinarily just give away international players, but given how last season went for him it didn't seem completely nonsensical as, if Alexander isnt 100% sold on him, he could potentially earn himself one more big signing on fee if there was no actual club to club fee involved. Will be interesting to see what happens in the next wee while. Two players fully proven at this level at full back, rather than one and a decent understudy is beyond what we usually run with or can afford.

Perhaps - but Alexander did make him captain, spoke well of him at the AGM even when acknowledging a form slump. I'm sure we're paying him reasonably as a top figure in the club and he seems settled family wise in his local area. I'm sure he'd leave for a big offer, I just don't seem him getting it on the efforts of last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) I have it in my head that we were linked with McGinn when Robinson was here but ended up patching him at the last minute to sign Grimshaw on a permanent? Anyway, absolutely no one is racing out to buy a season ticket because we've signed Paul McGinn but equally we've had years of reply guys and usual suspects losing their shit because we've trawled the National League for players and arguing "wHy dOnt wE sIgN plAyErS fRoM teH sCoTtIsH lEaGuEs?!?!?!"

Seems he’s been pursued for a while however so must be part of a masterplan Every year they talk about streamlining the squad and it always feels like we are carrying at least 4 guys who are deadweight and if it did come to playing them it would be a slap in the face to our youth players. I can see how Alexander talked himself into this. Mugabi at RB is not always ideal (although I love the HUGE line up) but we adding McGinn, who will be on a good wedge looks a bit suspect when what we really are looking for is a quality midfielder and another centre forward. We are already at 22 players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 More solid than exciting? Is he a ‘good guy to have in the dressing room’? I go back to the depressing Goss interview, maybe we need to lift the mood a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
