Stewart Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 He’s officially a free agent again, think he’ll end up at hearts? https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1849677/aberdeen-derek-mcinnes-hearts-niall-mcginn/ I've clicked the link so you don't have to. DEREK McINNES has confirmed he will join the race to bring Niall McGinn back to Scotland. The Dons boss will battle Hearts to sign his former winger from South Korean side Gwangju. McGinn left Pittodrie last summer after five years and moved to the lucrative K-League, but things haven’t gone to plan for the Northern Ireland international. McInnes has kept in contact with the 30-year-old and will be interested if he’s available. McInnes said: “We were always aware that Niall’s league finished up in November and I have kept in touch with him. “Whether it’s a possibility remains to be seen but he’s a good player, someone who was very good for us in the past. “I don’t think it has been the most enjoyable stint for him over there so far, but if we got any encouragement that he could be available for loan in January then it’s something we would look at. “If he has the enthusiasm to do it and it could happen, then it’s something that we would enjoy. “And I’m sure our supporters would love it, too. “We enjoyed working with Niall. He is very well thought of here and rightly so because of his high level of performances. “I speak to Niall often. We text back and forth regularly and he still speaks to the lads all the time. “We have had to try to work with different types of wide players this season because you can’t always get like for like. “Niall was a different type to what we have now. “Someone with his experience and ability would always be attractive to us, especially as we have worked with him before.” Quote
BigAl Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Would take him back in a heartbeat Bring him home Del. Quote

BigAl Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Cheers for that, but the fucking Sun was most definitely not my link to the story Me think he doth protest too much Quote
Jute Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 Would take him back in a heart beat. Much better player than our current wingers. Going forward and defensively. Quote
LA-Don Posted November 17, 2017 Report Posted November 17, 2017 I think maybe a little bit of humble pie here, maybe McGinn comes back realizing how good he had it here. Both he and his buddy Jonny have done little since they left us. Don't grudge them for trying, and seeing the other side of things may motivate McGinn. I believe his contract was terminated, does this mean he's free to sign now?? Quote
February1971 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 Quality, miles better than anything we have. GET THE CUNT BACK Quote
flooter Posted November 18, 2017 Report Posted November 18, 2017 I'd much rather see him in a dons top in January than a Hearts one. Quote

BobbyBiscuit Posted November 19, 2017 Report Posted November 19, 2017 Would take him back in a heart beat. Much better player than our current wingers. Going forward and defensively. 100%. Cracking player. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted December 2, 2017 Report Posted December 2, 2017 I realize it's not forward thinking but personally, if he's at all interested, I'd do everything we can to get McGinn back and let's put a cheeky loan bid in for Hayes as well! Quote
BobbyBiscuit Posted December 2, 2017 Report Posted December 2, 2017 I'd take him back in a heartbeat. Our team is crying out for creativity and goals. He brought both on a consistent basis. Quote
Ten Caat Posted December 2, 2017 Report Posted December 2, 2017 Thought he was looking a cert to join Fartz but surely we could put together a more attractive package. If we could get him to sign up for 18 months minimum then we should do our utmost to pull it off. Quote

manc_don Posted December 19, 2017 Report Posted December 19, 2017 Just amazed he’s not sorted his future out sooner given that he is a free agent? Would be brilliant to have him back Quote

Nips_and_Tatties Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Great news. As long as he contributes regularly. New striker hopefully. Quote
OxfordDon Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Excellent news, this season has shown pretty clearly how important McGinn and Hayes were to the team. Quote
Madbadteacher Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Yass! Now he can start crossing them in for N&T's fave to get the goal he "needs" Quote
