Transfer Rumour John McGinn

….looked like he’d gone backwards for Villa in the 2nd half of the season, very surprised ho


w poor he was when I watched him. Possibly carrying an injury but looked slow and overweight.
I thought exactly the same Eggs, he is usually one of the main men for Villa directing them from all over the field but at times last season Villa looked like they were carrying him and I think he was subbed a couple of games. Mind you I think we are debating a non starter.
 

Havent Villa just been fined by Uefa( chelsea aswell but forget them. They make their own rules up)
So they'll be wanting money.
For a pittance yes.
 

Not sure about him Dave.
Undoubtedly an excellent player for Villa but will be 31 later this year.

A new challenge for him at a new club, new manager, new teammates, new fans could see an uplift in form.

It is never going to be a long term signing but a raft of new players who will probably join us, the move to the new stadium to be managed then experienced players like McGinn can be very good value for two or three seasons.

This is why Seamus was kept after all.

A worthwhile risk at a sensible fee....but very unlikely to happen imo.

He's picking up thigh injuries too.

Older player who's style relies on a lot of mobility - up and down the pitch and laterally. Not a good risk IMO.

Wouldnt disagree with that but gueye was covering every blade of grass last year and he's 5 years older.
I'd take a punt on him. But it would have to be the most minimal fee.
 

He’ll be 31. Shouldn’t be paying fees for someone that age.

Think he’s a decent player who is a forward passer. Think he’s often looks busier than he is effective.

Agree with this.

He's not half the player Gueye is IMO.

The movement of those Villa forwards makes life easy for him passing forward too. Imagine him here in the last few years trying to do that job with our lack of mobility.
