    Fair enough mate. However, I'm still going to ask you to step away from the crack pipe.

    Would be happy if he came but I don't think we need him unless he is seen as some kind of long term successor to Broony.

    Watched kouassi last night who we paid 3m for i think McGinn would bring more to the table and possibly Kouassi needs loaned out to get more game time.

    Both are different players kouassi is more defensive minded player and mcginnn is box to box, as much as I would like mcginn signed I'm not 100% sure were he would fit in just now

    Things are heating up 'they'll cave in soon enough.
    Maybe by Friday this time.

    This is turning into a pain in the * now. The whole summer window is quickly becoming the John McGinn saga. Seriously doubt even his most ardent fans can believe he's worth this much carry on. One more bid and then let's move on please.

    Other targets should be in the pipeline anyway this a side bet because of contract situation.

    Different tournaments, so shouldn't be any problems.

    The more this sage continues the more it gives me the fear.

    The more money squandered on a guy we don't need and who we could get on a precontract in Jan means the less we can put towards buying players in important areas of the squad. Let's say we pay over 3m for McGinn, that's 3m less towards a RB or CB in the quality 6-8m range that we really should be attempting to sign if we're serious about improving in Europe.

    Have a feeling this summer window is going to be even worse than last year's.

    Yep I totally agree, concentrate on a RB or CM as top priority, we can pick up McGinn come Jan, if he really wants to play for us then he too will hold out from EPL interest and it's a win win for everyone

    People need to chill.

    We will have other positions getting worked on too, just so happens that this transfer is one which Rodgers has publicly came out and hinted at, so the press are all over it.

    It is no surprise we are testing the waters with a number of bids, it is how these things work. I'd imagine the last one was around £2m. Next one will be enough as we clearly want him in.

    I really do say sod him. He isn't a priority however I don't think Rodgers will see it like that. When at Liverpool he spent far less on the defence than other positions except for goalkeepers. He only spent £10m a few times and just focussed on attacking. When he did sign defenders they were often not great. While Rodgers style can bring us domestic dominance like most managers couldn't do, his style is not great for Europe.

    Anyone tired Brendan keep comments he doesn't want sign squad player and only quality who walk straight into team. McGinn not as good as our starting midfield three.
