If, however, he can play LB, he should start ahead of Carroll/McGinley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C&A not the shop Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Confirmed by the club on twitter. Wonder if that means O'Donnell is moving on? Only reason that signing really makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizoxy Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 He can play on the right of a back 3 and RB, so gives us cover/competition for SOD and the option of switching up formations.Is max still a RB? I think he played in midfield a bit for QotS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grizzlyg Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Wow!!!!! What a signing.....ahh it's Paul. Good experience but not sure where he fits in if we have SOD. could (and hopefully) play left back but if that was case we should sign an actual left back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellfan Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Maybe SOD is going to Celtic or left back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 As much as I don't rate either of our left backs,I don't think playing mcginn or odonnell there is the answer.if odonnell was to move on then signing mcginn makes sense but if not it's a bit of a strange signing considering alexander said he wanted a more streamlined squad this season.

MJC Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Given SO’D was an absolute disgrace for large spells last season then whether he is moving on or not is irrelevant, this is a good signing for us.

Not for someone who thinks Aberdeen and Hibs won't be better next year. That was the entire point I can't for a minute believe they will be any worse than they were last year. If others are so confident they will be it's up to them to take the bet. An improvement is anything better than they did last year. That's all I said at the outset that they will be better than last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 6 Pro using Tapatalk Paul McGinn wouldnt need to be particularly good to improve our pish defence. I cant believe folk are already rubbishing the guy when we basically watched utter pish last year and had the unenviable honour of the 3rd worst defensive record in the league. Would probably have been the worst had we not had Kelly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkyred Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 How often have people called for us to sign established Premiership players rather than none league guys from down south. ? Well regardless of his position this is exactly the type of signing many want. Good luck to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to our average sized, firmly established top flight club Paul McGinn. This. Should be better defensively than O'Donnell. Maybe O'Donnell will move further up the pitch now. Or leave.

Or leave. I’d be surprised if O’Donnell didn’t move on tbh. He’s 30 now and regardless of how he has performed for us is still an established international player with a fair bit of pedigree. I don’t think he’ll get a move to Celtic or anything as big as that but a move to an Aberdeen, Hearts, Hibs or down south will surely be on the table for him.

Kmcalpin Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 Ostensibly an odd signing, position wise. That surely calls into question O'Donnell's position does it not? As far as ther platyer is concerned, I don't care if he is talented or not so long as he is solid and makes few mistakes. That in itself would be an upgrade. All that said, I would have thought bolstering other positions would have been more of a priority. Anyway, welcome to Fir Park Mr McGinn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 I think that seems like a solid signing. Nothing flashy, buy someone experienced and proven at our level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted June 22, 2022 Report Share Posted June 22, 2022 This is about as neutral a signing as we could make in my view. Found that sweet spot between getting his name on my shirt and chasing him out of town with a pitchfork. Very zen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
