    A lot of folk saying he's been poor recently but going by the 2 each game at parkhead he certainly has something in his game to suggest he would play a part in this squad. He was all over our midfield that day.

    Not for me , No better than what we have in the middle of the park. Brown was twice the player of him at his age.

    But that’s one game mate! Every other time I have watched him live he has been absolute pish and lost out to midfielders who he should be bossing

    This boy is a very good player and one of the very few players of SPFL that are good enough to play for Celtic right now. Thing is he sadly plays in the most overcrowded position of our squad.

    We would need to buy and loan back like with Morgan, and we are doing that trick way too often.

    I would still be in favour of adding him to our family.

    I don't feel he has the character or mentality to boss a midfield especially for us.

    I remember the 1-1 game at home to Kilmarnock and the lad Jones gave our defence a torrid time with his pace. He's had a relatively decent season as well.

    Should we sign him? No. Basing our signing policy on picking players who come to Celtic Park and have a good game is ridiculous.

    John McGinn is a decent Scottish Premiership player but he's nowhere near good enough to come in and improve our squad, so it's a pointless signing.

    What about the "quality over quantity". John mcginn surely falls into the quantity bracket. Even the arguments for him put him firmly in the "squad player" category. All we've had since Sinclair signed three windows ago is squad fillers. Time to add some quality.

    "quality over quantity" "we are getting creativity"

    This does not match the description of McGinn, poor signing if we get him.

    If we sign mcggin and that dundee boy then sorry, our board is clearly wanting them to catch up. Lets add qaulity... so lets sign players that are not even the best in that position in the league. Madness.

    Was meaning more I think there's a half decent player in him and Rodgers might be able to bring out the best in him. Do i think we should be after a higher standard of player than mcginn then absolutely. He's not the level we need to come straight in and make a massive impact but I do think he'd be useful in our squad, as already said though we need quality over quantity.

    Who to catch up? :56: They’ve signed * that wouldn’t get near our team, we’ve already got the best player outside us in christie.

    Pyschoanalysis courtesy of youtube no doubt....personally I think he could definitely do a job for us, I remember the same kinda things being said when we signed Broony too and also pretty much every Scottish player we sign tbh.

    Brown had swagger and was a bundle of energy box to box when we signed him..he's matured into a superb holding player now and breaks up the play effortlessly .proper captain Imo influential.. i wouldn't pay more than 2m for Mcginn and he's not better than Ntcham if we sold Armstrong maybe..

    Mcgeochs had a better season and is no where near good enough for Celtic. If you have a look on Twitter or on the hibs forum, the majority consider McGeoch to be a better player. No idea where all the hype has came from for Mcginn.

    we need to get past this "he a young scottish talent" *

    broony's giffiths' and forrests are few and far between these days

    The days of scottish football producing maloneys and mcgeadys are well and truly gone

    chrisite henderson mcgeouch GmS Allan all suspect and punted off

    even Armstrong and mcgregor are looking surplus these days
