I do not think that 1st happens that way if he's on the pitch. I agree. Early v Leicester he won a few big 40/60s out of his favour that got the crowd and the team going.

Villa87 Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Definitely missed McGinn - he is an absolute terrier and when on it sets the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also one who will force the issue when no one else is. Driving force. Wouldn't allow us to just saunter about I reckon we win that match if he was playing the other day.

alreadyexists Posted January 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2022 Totally agree, we missed McGinn against Man Utd. He allows other players time and space because he’s so dogged and determined. We love you Super John! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 17, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 17, 2022 Man United are apparently going to try and sign McGinn in the summer according to the Telegraph. Must be like the 500th time they're going to try and sign him 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s unique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post villabromsgrove Posted January 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 17, 2022 I've just gone onto the Red Cafe forum and they've started a thread on John McGinn. It's only a page and a bit so far, but it made me chuckle. Poster1: Why does this club have to sign English players? Poster2: Ignorant post, he's Irish. Poster3: Northern Irish! 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfielder Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I agree with all the above. Skill and tenacious spirit aside, he clearly is quite the character in the dressing room. In any walk of life, there's that character who lights up the room when they walk in, the positive one that brings everyone together, banter or laughs or conversation and all. That's McGinn. Characters like that in and around the place are super rare. Neutrals and non-Villa fans out there, they know it too. Definitely comes across as one of those people that anyone could get on with, but at the flip of a coin, would rip shreds off you if you weren't pulling your weight. Characters like that as ItsYourRound says, are unique indeed. It's one thing having McGinn the footballer here, but McGinn the man too immeasurably, we are lucky. I think he will have been the one most hit by the fizzy drinks ban at work though, but you just know he's got some Irn Bru and Coke cans in the fridge at home. Maybe they're sugar free ones though, just in case. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 That didn't take long for his agent to push. They want Digne/Ings/Coutinho wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn, for me, is clearly one of the weakest members of the first team and is moving towards being a squad rotation option. I can't see a team putting in a bid that'd really tempt us as I don't think they'd see the value in it but I'd snatch someone's hand off at say 35m. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGinn has clearly been our best player this season.

He's put in some very good performances at times, sure, but I don't see his ceiling as being high enough for where we're trying to go. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI - the below are the villatalk MOTM awards per player for league games this season. there have been good performances from all players this season and not really sure anyone has particularly stood out and the MOTM awards being shared around backs that up. bailey x2 ramsey x2 ghaz mcginn x3 emi x4 cash mings marv x2 luiz x2 buendia x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying Mcginn has been a god this season, but he has quite clearly been our best player so far. Hopefully that changes and we dont need anyone to standout. Just baffled that the scottish player of the year isnt deemed good enough by some of our fanbase when he has been one of the few who at least performed above average until now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
