You said: "I don’t think anyone saw McGinn turning into the player he has become back when he was in his mid 20s". He's now 26 and has played three great seasons with Villa and at international level. Do the maths.

Everyone saw it except you, valued fellow poster.

Okay so if that’s the case can you show me the post or posts that showed people saying that McGinn would go on to be a 30m pound plus midfielder in the PL or the equivalent of that. I’ve yet to come across it.

Lads, lay off it.

Agreed. Just reported it. Not on, not wanted, not here.

[Edit] Thanks, mods.

Still doing very well at Hibs and quickly becoming a fans favourite there. He has come in to replace Jackson Irvine, a 30 cap Australia international, and is being seen as a significant upgrade on him based on his performances so far, so given the state of our midfield he's maybe not that far away from a call up.

Hibs have had an easy enough run of games domestically at the start of the season though. It looks much tougher for them after the international break, so it will be interesting to see if JDH can keep the standard up against the stronger teams in the league.

Opened his scoring account for Hibs on Saturday with two crackers: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/60357413 - if he can keep this up and maybe move up a level next season, he could yet be an option in the future.

Thanks that volley is a great strike. If he could play 6 for us he certainly has a chance of been involved given our limitations at 6

injuries seem to have knocked this guy back a fair bit. Is he out again with an injury? Think the original problem was caused by a traiing ground tackle from the manager at the time, not the first time thats happened to an up and coming irish player!

Managers should manage and stop trying to impress their players, by how great they were once upon a time !

In other words the same story as every Irish player ever…

Yes he's injured. Has rarely impressed for Hibs when he has played. His career looks to have stalled at SPL/League 1 level, haven't seen anything from him to suggest that he'll ever be a genuine international option.
