super_al Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Mcginn is to miss the next three matches due to a calf injury. Link to comment
Reed or deed Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 As opposed to missing them cos he’s not in the mood or unfit 1 1 1 Link to comment

Granite95 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Absolutely honking attempt at a free-kick, metnal he's been banging on about getting a new deal, barely worth half of what he's currently on Link to comment

Byrne Baby Byrne Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 McGinn appears to have gone from 32 years old to 70 years old between the last couple of seasons. Lockdown didnt do much for that man. When I look back on McGinn I think I'll just pretend he never came back in 2018 Link to comment
Tord31 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 I'll be sad the day McGinn goes. I'm not sure i'd be bothered about any others on the out of contract list including the much afc-chat loved Tam Hoban. Link to comment

He's much loved on here. I'd like him to stay but no way should we pay through the nose for someone that's played like 70 games in their career. I supported not offering Wright top dollar on same basis. 27 years old. 103 starts. Heading for the EPL soon. Link to comment

Yip had a good game at Girodome. Been fucking shite up until then. Id let him go. That level of consistency, or lack of it, isnt good enough from an experienced top earner in our squad. Hes gone stale/complacent imo. And his legs are gone. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Aye Mcginn is finished. Top player on his day but no time for sentiment, major surgery required for the squad. Link to comment

Sheepo Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Niall has been a good servant to the club but should be moving on in the summer along with his manager Link to comment

I'm not sure i'd be bothered about any others on the out of contract list including the much afc-chat loved Tam Hoban. And so will I. He was the first player in a long time to have a good first season and then not move on for the first offer that came his way. A player of the year nominee, double figure goals, scoring 8 consecutive games; and he signs an extension rather than leaving. In the back of the dreadful teams prior to that, this was unheard of. He helped to make me feel good about the seasons ahead. I’ve always liked Niall. Despite his obvious drop in fitness and form, I think he is worthy of a 1 year extension on reduced terms to be used as a sub. His legs are not what they used to be, but he’s still the best crosser of the ball at the club (free kick aside). Link to comment

If McGinn's value drops to £800/week, If Logan's value drops to £500/week, if Devlin's value drops to £400/week, if Leigh's value drops to £300/week then should we hold on to any of them. In reality it doesn't work like that. They demand similar terms for next season and they end up leaving. They only get realistic by the middle of the summer at which point we've moved on.

Yup I remember being told at the time of the soul episode that Bryson and Devlin had taken a major huff about being fined for it. Was told that the 2 of them were going to be shipped out on the back of the falling out. Certainly rang true with Bryson, there was probably nobody willing to take on Devlin. Would certainly make sense why we've never seen him since. Link to comment

StandFree1982 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 McGinn, despite that free kick in the video somewhere above, is still the only player in our squad that seems to be able to hit a decent dead ball or a cross. Just a shame his legs are gone. Does seem to be a common theme at Pittodrie recently (ish) with bringing in players and their legs going. Hartley Robson McGinn Folly May Devlin? Link to comment

Aye he's practically done. But he's still the most creative player we've got available unfortunately. Even a finished Niall McGinn offers more than the likes of Kennedy in that position. And if we'd given him more game time up front previously then at least then we would have a player who was match fit despite his pace having gone. We coukd have used him better over the last few months rather than throwing him in now and expecting him to be at 100% Link to comment
