Tomaszk Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 2 hours ago, CVByrne said: Why do we care what he'd like to be earning? He's got 3 & 1/2 years left on his contract. He'll be nearly 31 when his contract expires and if we were to open talks about an extension it would be in 2 years time. Because players get miserable and grumpy when teammates they're much better than, and play much more than, are earning twice their salary. McGinn is probably fine with it. No doubt in my mind that's his agent sticking that story in the papers. So he can go to Villa, John would love to stay, let's put another two years in his contract. As a player, you'd have to sell selling for £50m would be a good deal. As a person, I'd be devastated to lose him from Aston Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can quite easily just keep him until his contract runs out when he’s nearly 31. Unless a Man U want to make a ludicrous offer. If he runs it down, he will get a massive payday as his “last contract” and at 31 and we will have had his best years. Either way we win. We also need to make the club as profitable as possible. This gives us the ability to continue to invest in future transfer windows. Selling Jack for 100m helped us become profitable and enabled the purchases of Buendia, Bailey, Ings and Coutinho. Selling SJM for 50m would be great for our profitability and would give us nice financial leverage in the transfer window 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. Lay off the hard stuff is the best advice I can give you here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can get upset that he's not earning as much as he'd like but he's not going to become disruptive because of that. We will get him a new contract in October 2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 He's going nowhere. I think he's already become more solid with the ball under Gerrard who loves him and he'll be straight back in the team on Saturday. Luiz far more likely to leave in the summer now.

Villaphan04 Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 if we get a bid that is good enough, then I think we sell. in the era of FFP, selling players at a max profit is really how you progress as a club.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DakotaVilla Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Set him a goal of pushing us into Europe this year and then give him a new contract if we do. This window and the summer will see big expenditure on cb x 2 and a dmc. Also if Luiz doesn’t sign a new contract then we will have to sell him this summer and use that to reinvest in an upgraded number 8 to challenge McGinn and Ramsey with Sanson and the kids as back ups. No way in the world is McGinn going unless it’s an absolutely ridiculous bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
