Big player at Oxford last season was he not? He's shown glimpses of brilliance over the years as well as many moments of the complete opposite. Like I keep saying to people though, if Lenny deems him good enough for us then i'm happy with that.

How much to do you trust your mate? Should he be in a position to know?

I'd be happy with this.

Seems to have become a bit of a set piece specialist. Not sure what his all round game is like though.

Good player, not a prolific goalscorer though which is what we need.

EDIT: Just read that he plays as a winger now - that would be more suited to us, and his goal return looks better considering his position.

Talented player with a pretty good record in England since he went down there.

I don't think you're wrong from his time in Scotland, but seems like he's been out wide most of his career since. I remember him as a good player but I can't claim to have seen him recently!

Haven't look at the video but I'm guessing that it's the goal he scored from the half way line at Easter Road against Iceland. Cracking goal. I was in the FF that night.

Shaun Maloney been offered new terms at Hull. If there was any truth in Lennon wanting/speaking to him then maybe Chris McGuire is our back up option.

Fairly similar players I think.

Good player say a bit of an Oxford game on tv and looked like he was playing off the striker in a number 10 role, skillful and creative.

Has the swagger/personality I can imagine Lennon liking

I'd take him.

Good player when I've seen him in TV at Oxford and he does seem to play wide now however he spends most of his time drifting infield so I'm not sure he's exactly what we need, like I say, good player but not sure he's necessary.

Don't know much about him but his record looks good, especially for a wide player and is a good age.

He's not really a wide player. Pretty much has a free role with Oxford & is very much regarded as their talisman. Good player but unfortunately in an area where we're already pretty strong, if we keep everyone & they're fit.

We would only have Swanson and Boyle that play similar roles.

He would be a good addition imo

Scored 17 goals this season in league one

I've not hence why I'm not dismissing him out of hand. Though, if Hibs/Lennon are interested then I'm sure our scouting team have had an eye on him.

Plenty players have came to us from League 1 in the past and done well. 2 of them even captained us to our last cup wins!

Aye, you can't move for creative, goal scoring midfielders at Hibs right enough.

I somehow ended up watching an oxford game on BT or Sky this season. Chris Maguire was the best player on the park. Good technically, good touch, could beat a man and was a goal threat. He was playing in behind the striker that was at Dundee before moving to England, cant remember his name now.

Can you explain why you've come to that conclusion? Have you see much of him lately? Every time we are linked with a player it's guaranteed there will be a few comments along the lines of yours. I'm not sure what level folk think we are competing with.

Aye, you can't move for creative, goal scoring midfielders at Hibs right enough.

If you accept NL will always play at least 1 holding mid player & everyone on here always wants width, say Boyle, then that leaves us 2, max 3 spots for Maguire to compete against SJM, Dylan & Danny. I think thats an area of strength. I'd be happy for us to sign Maguire but I think there's more urgent areas to improve, notably up front.

Whilst that makes sense, we don't need to strengthen up front as much if we have more goals from midfield.

Always liked the look of Maguire when he was at Aberdeen, had similar qualities to Riordan (although not as good) i thought, great technically, but maybe lacking the work rate and discipline to play at a higher level. Sounds like he has been doing OK down south, would definitely take him.

Chris Maguire scored 1 goal every 8 games last time he played in the SPFL.

All hypothetical but Maguire wouldn't be competing with the likes of McGinn or McGeough at all. Has he not always played up front, or maybe out wide?Certainly not in the middle of the park as an out and out midfielder that those two are.

How many of those were as a substitute? Remember he was 16-22 while playing for Aberdeen so I imagine many of his early appearances would have been.

His record was 12 in 44 for all comps the season he left, that's better than 1 in 4.

Position wise they would be competing for the same positions attacking mid, winger or striker with Boyle.

Mcgeouch and Mcginn are centre mids and not similar to him in the slightest imo.

I would be very happy for Chris Maguire to join us but there's some strange posts on here about his current role at Oxford. He's definitely not a wide man & he's not really an out & out midfield player. Although many sites call him a striker im not sure that fits either.He plays more in the Keats role,in behind a striker. He's scored a decent amount of goals but many have been from free kicks & pens so hard to quantify his ability as a supposed striker. IMO our priority is an out & out striker, a focal point, a hold up player who scores goals. In fact, what Holt & Graham were meant to give us. I would be happy with Maguire but not at the expense of us signing a genuine striker.

Roll on the new season, don't know about you lot, but I'm really bored on Saturdays.

My wife's cousin plays for Oxford and I spoke to him tonight about him.

Says he's been superb for them this season and even though he's out of contract, he'd be very surprised if he were to leave. He's mainly played as a 10 or on the left this season.

I'm sure we will. My concern is we have sufficient budget to sign at least 2 proper strikers in addition to JC. Holt & Graham scored 9 championship goals between them last season. We need much better next season.

Got to say I think we (myself included) are getting an bit too excited considering it's only one poster who has heard it from his mate and not posted anything since.

He along with Swanson, Simon Murray and Stokes would really strengthen our attacking options.

Take it this is Chris Maguire ex Aberdeen, Derby, Sheff Wed and now tearing it up at Oxford in League 1?

He'll be in his prime now I'd imagine so would think this could be a very decent signing. Not sure how he'd work with Swanson but good to have 2 options.
