ffs

Genuinely creased. Where the fuck has that come from!?

[Emotic]

Don’t mind him if he came cheap. Midfield cover and could be our Gareth Barry/Milner- type senior citizen player, together with Trips, keep the young uns settled in a long campaign.

[mattypnufc]

‘Considering’

[christ]

I reckon McGinn would be a class addition if he was six years younger. Exactly the sort of player you want in the squad. 

[Dr.Spaceman]

File this one under "never gonna happen"

[PauloGeordio]

McGinn’s a cunt, but he would be our cunt. Bring him  hyem!

Think he’s a really good player mind.

How much do you think it'd cost to get someone as good as Joelinton, Tonali or Bruno? £50-60m plus? Someone like McGinn for 2-3 years who can play in there and other positions if the price is right would be a cracking piece of business. 

I have no idea, I haven't watched or paid attention to anything for years until this summer, i'm just kinda putting the pieces together regarding the reaction and why people are not particularly positive. Getting a genuine 4th midfielder would be expensive I would imagine so you're not wrong there.

[The Prophet]

Just relieved there's a midfielder shortlist tbh

[oldtype]

It appears we’ve managed to be linked to a player who’s somehow both underwhelming and unattainable.

It does. One of them is a decent footballer for a start.

He’s alright. Fuckin hell are people really going on like John McGinn is some class footballer. He’s fine that’s about it and that’s coming from a Scotsman 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Not bad just to fill in in a couple of roles. Don't rate him as much as the media in general but he's alreet.

[JP]

Good player, wouldn't be against it for the right fee

Atleast we’re mixing it up from overwhelming/great prospect yet unattainable 

[nufc123]

Didnt we want him like ten years a go ?

With emphasis on ”short”

[NE27]

Jesus, shows a lack of imagination if I'm being kind

[relámpago blanco]

Mcginn is class tbf.

 

[SteV]

Totally, accept the reluctance towards age, presumable price, and the fact he’s a right twat on the field (although that doesn’t matter when he’s on your side).

 

But surely everyone could see he’d add significant depth to our squad?

At the start of the window I expected class. At this stage I'm accepting "better than Longstaff or Wilson".

Yeah he would, its just a bit leftfield.  good addition for the next 2 years.

[Weezertron]

He'll have no legs in 6 months. 

 

Imagine thinking we should sign the OAP captain of a rival.

For how long though? Are we in a financial position to just write off £15m for one, maybe two seasons?

What has this window done to you all?  Less than a week ago half of the forum were getting giddy about links to Paqueta.
