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.Originally Posted by CSAD

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.

Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!
- E Tattsyrup.
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.
First appearance since August 2023 at the weekend for Doyle-Hayes

Has left Hibs mid contract after a poor few years there, after a bright start a combination of injuries and loss of form have seen him almost never feature for the first team in recent seasons. Not sure if he's one that might come back to Ireland now, or if he'll be able to pick up a contract somewhere else in Britain despite his injury record. Initial rumour is that Goodwin might take him at Dundee United, having previously had him at St Mirren.

Has signed a one year deal with Sligo Rovers

He should be a standout there if he can stay injury free. That's a big if though, his last few years have been ruined by injury, before the injuries he would have been expected to have a decent career in Britain, albeit outside the top two English divisions.
Sligo have had a tough start, and it's not likely to get any easier, bottom 2/3 budget in the league. Might be tougher than you'd think given the responsibility he's going to have to shoulder after such a tough few years. Hope for his sake the body holds up and he gets a few months football in to him. It'll be a grand ground to play in as the weather improves at least. He has gotten some minutes already so hopefully he gets up to speed and rebuilds his career.
