Sky Sports are reporting that Everton have had an £18M bid for Aston Villa Captain John McGinn rejected.
Aston Villa say John McGinn is not for sale after rejecting the £18M offer from Everton.
David Moyes is thought to view the 30-year-old midfielder as a priority target and is keen to add his leadership, experience and versatility to an Everton side that has lacked leaders on the pitch.
McGinn's current contract at the club is set to expire in 2027. The Scotland international made 49 appearances across all competitions for Villa last season, scoring 4 goals and adding 6 assists.

I've liked McGinn for a few years.
I'm not sure if this is an old rumour dug out by Sky.
A good player, a proper nark, would give us another leader on the pitch and probably fits Moyess' profile and not done and dusted at 30. And Villa need to sell.
Unless Moyes is planning on Iroegbunam or Armstrong going on loan or thinking ahead for the loss of Gana in January, plus maybe a replacement for the soon-to-be 36-year-old, I'm not convinced by this one.

No idea why we would bid £18M for a 30 yr old when we have Gana, Garner, KDH, etc.
He may be a decent player but it's unlikely he'd want to leave Villa for us anyway. This is not the type of signing I want to see us make, especially when we don't have the added games of European football to consider.
I'd rather we give minutes to Armstrong if we're going to 'rotate'...and I certainly don't remember Moyes being big on that anyway.

I feel he's past his best. He's also too slow now.

Why ? Makes no sense to offer £18 million, it's laughable. Surely bollocks from Sky this one.
