They’ve signed a good few passengers but they occasionally do get a tune from them (Adam for example. MOTM v us) . McGinn will be one of their better & more productive ones IMO. Probably win them a couple of games with free kicks etc. Link to comment
Alex Ferguson Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Would be nice if he gets a testimonial match between us and Dundee, he deserves it, he was a light of hope when he came in, gave us so many great bounces, so many good memories. He left for a few months to try and cash in but came back - and he has given us years of something to watch on the international break too. End of an era, farewell Niall. 3 Link to comment

Why do you get so upset when someone has a different opinion to you? edit: resigning McGinn was a lazy bit of business by McInnes, many people said that at the time. First spell brilliant, second wasn’t even worth doing. There’s some amount of revisionism going on here. Link to comment

From coming back from his holiday to lockdown he had 17 goals and 25 assists. That is just over 2 years. It's not exactly shite is it? Was anyone doing a better job? Then we went into lockdown and he came back 10 years older. Has scored a staggering 2 goals since... none in the league 5 Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It's a myth that McGinn hasn't been decent in his second spell. Didn't hit the heights of his first spell but contributed plenty. We just gave him a deal that was too long that's all. And then have him an additional year under new management, bizarrely. Link to comment
paddy Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Sad to see him go, but we had him while he was at his peak. Taking him back for 3.5 years was a mistake, but wont hold that against him as he has been a great servant. See ya Niall - hopefully you are shite at Dundee Link to comment

That suited McGinn. But you wouldn’t play him up front on his own…. He certainly ended up doing very well on the right of that Irish front 3 though Link to comment

NEM Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 While not hitting the heights of his first spell McGinn still had some moments of brilliance after he came back from Korea. It was the right thing taking him back it just went on for about 18 months too long. A great player and servant, a shame he couldn't have had a proper send off. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Time was up sadly. But there's no way he's worse than some of dross left behind. Apologising at Parkhead for scoring against his beloved aside, you couldn't fault his time at Aberdeen. Gave us many good memories. One of few I don't mind wishing ATB. Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 The unfortunate reality of this transfer and timing was when we looked at the bench last night and needed a little bit different, McGinn was trying his Dundee top on! He definitely deserves the move but with only 8 on the bench last night good management would have said after Tuesdays game Mr Chairman Link to comment
donswin1983 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Should never have resigned him, or not resigned him on the length of deal we did. wonderful player in his first spell and some special goals. Remember a midweek at Easter road when he was unplayable. thanks for the memories and my loons (considerably under 30) favourite ever dons player. and that drop of the shoulder for his goal at tynecastle when we were 3up at half time…made what ever Jambo it was look like a complete tool.

Nutmegged the boy Augustyn, then sold Callum Paterson an outrageous dummy before whipping in to the top corner. What a goal. What a day. Link to comment
