Nothing wrong with questions. SJM has the answers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt in my mind he will make the step up and be a solid PL performer. He is the embodiment of everything you want your football club to represent. Gritty, hard working, dedicated with bundles of quality on top. Jack and John, the best £2.5m midfield anywhere in the world. Why would you hope we insert a buyout clause? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never doubting his ability obviously just couldn’t see players we are buying being brought in to sit on the bench hence the question. Obviously different formations have different players fitting and without doubt SJM was in a lot of those formations but buying so many midfielders it was just a question whether he might miss out. Today just showed (ok only a friendly) what a talent he is and he maybe even better knowing the talent sitting on the bench waiting to take his place. Looking forward to a great season ahead.

Not sure what was going on but it looked like one of these places that's become popular amongst footballers and other celebrities because of some gimmick that's made it famous on social media, see 'salt bae'. It did make me think though... Found the video... It's just the kind of random shit that people do on holiday? Says more about Dubai than it does about John McGinn.

Dave-R Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) Goals like his today is why the top 6 will come in at some point, if the players like Mcginn have an excellent season and the likes of man u, spurs, arsenal will try to draw them away from us with crazy offers at some point. I feel it's a tactic that they will no doubt deploy down the line against us, thats if we start posing a threat that is. You know if those crazy offers start to come in its because the top premier teams are noticing and starting to feel threatened that they'd do anything to keep us down. Mcginn could set the league on fire, he has the ability too raise his value and show the world what he's made of, his stamina, work rate, speed his exceptional.

Remember when we were in the prem' before, and we were so angry if any assumed we were a 'selling club'? Well, Purslow admitted that this is our strategy from this point. Pick up players like McGinn for next to nothing, get some years of top quality out of them, sell them on with a 5x - 10x multiplier. We then plough that money into the squad. I'm just enjoying his performances and him being in claret and blue. He's a class act, seems v down to earth and likes the craic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bose Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Lazy journalism. Scored a great goal today in a friendly and so he must be on his way. Daily Record Quote Sir Alex Ferguson wants Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to sign Scotland international John McGinn, according to a report. The Aston Villa midfielder has emerged as a firm favourite after a stunning debut season in Birmingham and took his standing with the Villa faithful onto a new level on Saturday with a stunning goal in the friendly win over Charlton. Now Red Devils legend Sir Alex - who still has a strong influence at Old Trafford - wants to see the 24-year-old at United, according to the Sun. Ferguson sees the energy and goal threat of McGinn as ideal for a problem area in Solskjaer's side. Manchester United were loosely linked with a move for the former Hibs star last month. But Villa rate the player - who they signed for just £2.75million 12 months ago - at £50m. McGinn was on top form with a double in the win over Chalton. His second saw him win the ball on the right flank, shrug off a heavy challenge before rounding the keeper at an angle and slotting home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 (edited) If SJM goes and we use the money to buy Phillips, Butland and Benrahma, then go on to complete the deal for Marvelous and add a striker with some of the money we had earmarked for the three mentioned, are we happy?

Soon as we start sniffing mid table, watch those crazy offers start flooding in for our stars. I just hope they are prepared to heartbreak, our Owners won't let any of our stars go who are taking Villa to the heights we want to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will sell anyone now, our owners have a plan and it's success the plan is, you can't be a seller club and top club at the same time. Winning things is what our chiefs are about and it's about damn time we got that kind of ownership. Mcginn won't be sold until we eye the next Mcginn replacement who's as young, hungry and as skilful as he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
