Didn't someone post the other day a chart that showed Sissoko has more xA/90? Bet he'd be cheaper, and he already knows how to get to the training ground.

I like McGinn a lot. Hes not the tallest, but is muscular for his size, and works his socks off. Hes intelligent, unselfish, passes well, handles the ball well, and has a heck of a long distance strike on him. Hes also proven in the prem, and as a little bonus, he'd be the first Scottish player we'd have in a long time. I think he'd be a great addition to our midfield.
Trouble is- he's under contract til 2025 and is, as far as I know, still very valuable to Villa. I don't really know why they'd sell him now when next summer makes more sense, and when he might be even more valuable. I wonder what it would take to get him? If I'm Villa, I'm asking for at least 35m pounds, and maybe even 40-45 if I really value him. Shouldn't we be looking at Bissouma for that kind of money?

John McGinn has a new diet but aims to keep biggest asset
The 27-year-old is loving life at Villa under the former Rangers boss and the pair are on the same page.

McGinn is fat? I thought he was just well built for his size... One thing I particularly like about Latin America is that the women there like a man with a prominent muscled ass. Muscular legs are a thing for them too. Almost never have gotten similar comments from American/English girls- they only seem to notice or compliment abs/chest/arms.John McGinn has a new diet but aims to keep biggest asset

Some of you wouldn't know a good player if he gave you a well deserved boot in the knackers tbh.
McGinn is decent but i don't know if he will be a big upgrade from what we have.
I have not watched him specially, and I obviously do not know too much about him.
But I have watched some Villa games, and I have never noticed him, thinking "oh shit, that lad in CM is a player"...
I think many people are put off by him being "unsexy" target - he is not a big name or flashy player etc. And maybe I am also influenced by this. Most likely I am.
But when I look at our CM options, even if we sell Winks, Ndomfatbelly, Lo Celso... we still have Hjojberg, Bentancur, Skippy and then Sarr coming in. Okay, Sarr is unknown quality. But can you tell me - who would he be an upgrade on?
I honestly think that Hjojberg and Bentancur are both "good CM's". They keep us ticking, can pass, can tackle and cover lot of ground. But on top of that we would need something extra. A player who really would be commanding, who could carry the ball, who would be press resistant, who would be able to play accurate defense-splitting balls (NB! not all of those traits don't have to be represented in one player - like with Dembele- he was super press-resistant and commanding, but did not play defense-splitting balls) - I don't see what of these boxes would McGinn tick.
Also he is almost 28 when season starts.
He has 3 years left on his contract.
He is starter for top half team in EPL.
So basically he would be an expensive singing who I personally do not see displacing neither PEH, Benta nor Skippy.
What would be the point of this signing?
Really don't see the appeal. IMO we need a high level playmaker in the midfield and he isn't that.
Looking at him for Scotland it is a firm no from me.
He’s not HG and he’s Scottish, which is mildly worse than being Welsh.
negative ghost rider. The pattern is full.

Not like we're trying to get rid of more than a couple of Non-HG players or anything ffs.
