    4m hahaha hopefully that's the deathnell on any rumours about him joining us....we have far better players and he will not improve on what we have not even as backup.

    We paid the same for Scott Brown about the same age, look how that turned out. To be fosr I haven't seen enough of McGinn to justify that price tag.

    You've kind of explained my point with the last sentence.

    He's a 2 million quid player but can you see Lenny's logic, let's be honest.

    If you pay it for Brown then the market blows up a decade later would it surprise you if a Championship side down south gave them 4 million?

    Would it *...

    I was trying to agree with you but trying to agree with Lennon at the same time. It's hard not to take his side, love his wee ginger face

    That's if we will even make a move for him. Another season with hibs in the top league and see how he develops.

    He would struggle to get a game at the moment with us

    Aye totally agree lets see him this year because no matter what people say there is a step up, but then it's a chance you take if he performs well then his price will go up, but I do like the boy have already said so in this thread.

    I think even Lenny know's they wouldn't get 4 million but he's playing to the English market... where the interest and bids have come from so far..

    He's an International as well. We always do this with our league, downplay it. If he went down to say Ipswich and had a half decent season, they'd be wanting a lot more than 4 mill for him that's for sure, but wanted him for peanuts in the first place..

    I'm pretty sure Lenny did the same with Wanyama as well, calling him a 25 million pound player (and I'm obviously not comparing) before we sold him for half..

    It's just letting *'s know he won't be ripped off..

    Think the reason is they don't want to sell so if they don't wanna sell then that's the price someone will have to play

    £4m is absolutely * all in todays market, they've every right to be looking for that much. Wish more Scottish teams wouldn't let English clubs come up here and plunder talent for pennies.

    500k for Liam Boyce was disgusting.

    Sutton's wee rant the other night was spot on. We're selling our best talent for nothing, complete waste.

    Scott Brown was a proven spfl player at the time when the league was competitive.

    Totally agree mate, we're our own worst enemies at times.
