5-year deal, holy ****!

Welcome aboard Kyle. :flag:

5 years, what a great bit of business we've done here. Welcome Kyle!

[Keith_M]

What's Tom English's view on us signing another player?

I bet he's over the moon about it.

[KingPat4]

Good work!
er..., when will he be fit?

[RitchieHibs]

I really think we've landed a gem here. Better than McCrorie.

Welcome Aboard Kyle!

5 years?! Wow!

All the best Kyle. Good player with bags of potential, can’t wait to see him play and develop.

[G B Young]

5-year deal, holy ****!

Welcome aboard Kyle. :flag:


Indeed. Quite an expression of faith in him! Hopefully he'll be an exceptional player for us and the lengthy deal will ensure we receive a hefty fee for him if he were ever to move on. Welcome Kyle.

[marinello59]

Excellent news. Have to be pleased with that.

[Vault Boy]

Superb stuff. Can't remember us handing out many 5 year deals, big statement!

Welcome, Kyle. :aok:

FIVE year deal? What the ****

Great signing hopefully ready to play soon..

I can charge my phone and go for a lie down now !

... or can I ? 🤔

[mayo hibee]

Have we ever given a five year contract to a new signing before?

Didn't know we did five year contracts.

Should have given one to Nisbet.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Kyle on 5 years, Nissy on 4 years? This looks suspiciously like mid to long term team capability building with an eye to selling on at greatly enhanced figures.

Ron has obvious ambition.

It’s alright really. Just covers the sequence of events and doesn’t come across as having a go at Hibs or the player, just the circumstances from their own perspective.

On the contrary it's a great statement from them, from our POV. They obviously rated him and didn't want to lose him, along with many St.Mirren supporters. You don't want them to be happy about losing him.

[The Spaceman]

I think that St Mirren statement is wonderful news for us. It is rare any club comes across publicly as being so gutted to lose a player, working on a deal for over a year, know the fans will be upset etc...proves we have signed someone who is exceptionally rated.

I think we should now go for their scouting/coaching network.

:greengrin

[Vault Boy]

I think the statement is a bit snide to be honest. Shifts the blame for a transfer the fans aren't pleased about on to a young player who was with Saints since age 6, rather than on their own board.

They put out the strange statement which declared Magennis was staying, this seems to be covering themselves for that.

Ultimately though, I don't care. We've got our man and I'm delighted.

While it is snidey I feel their pain considering the amount of times we’ve been shafted.

[Wilson]

Seems fair enough to be honest

It may be accurate, which is fair enough, but that maybe isn't what is needed in a farewell statement. I agree with the tweet that thinks it isn't fitting for a player who has been at the club since he was six. There are plenty of avenues to get the full facts out to the fans. I think thank you and good luck is all that really needs said in these statements.

St Mirren must feel about us the way Celtic do about Southampton. I do feel a bit sorry for them, but unfortunately it’s part and parcel of football.

[Spike Mandela]

Jack Ross obviously believes he is the real deal. If he becomes even half the player McGinn became for us it’s a great piece of business. Can’t wait to see what he can do.

[calumhibee1]

I actually can’t ever recall seeing him. Everyone seems happy and a 5 year deal is a real statement of intent though so all things point towards this being a very good signing.

She’s not happy right enough. I wonder what branch of the family she belongs to.

The player himself says ““I’m really happy to be a Hibernian player. It’s a proud moment for me and my family.”

I think his notion of ‘family’ is the most relevant. Get over it, Laura. :greengrin

And Southampton Liverpool/Spurs.

I like the strategy though. It’s a lot better going to tried and trusted than random trialists.

They seem to do similar to Alloa managers also. I’m in the mindset firmly now of announce anyone from St Mirren apart from Chic Young 😎

In fact I wouldn’t be against Ron launching a takeover bid for St Mirren.

No, she’s disgusted at St Mirren, putting all the blame on Kyle Magennis when in fact he had already signed a contract extension to ensure the club got compensated when he did move on.

He and his entire family are St Mirren fans.

I think they are a bit miffed at the St Mirren statement which loads any "blame" for the move onto the player instead of just saying "hes moved on and thanks".

St Mirren fans generally think their board is a shambles at the moment.

Ok. I never read it that way or knew the background about the contract extension, to be honest. Anyway, he our’s now. :thumbsup:

[CmoantheHibs]

Welcome Kyle. Seems Ron has a new signing policy for the club which makes complete sense to me. When signing young guys with bags of potential get them on long term deals. The club will get a fee they are happy with if they choose to sell and the player gets the security of a long contract. Benefits everyone unless you sign a Malory Martin.:greengrin

The St Mirren board have been left looking stupid after needlessly releasing their statement last week. Now they're trying to justify what's happened by blaming it all on the player.

For me the 5 year deal shows the club are behind Jack Ross and looking forward. Time will tell if it was the right thing to do, we'll see. Meanwhile the move gets my full support although I can't say I remember seeing the guy play anything that was so special to get people so excited about him. Then again I'm a punter not a football coach or scout :greengrin

They dropped Paul McGinn and released Stephen, so they can hardly moan.

My office Jambo says he is a very good signing. I said that I didn't really remember him playing against us but the Jambo says he can remember him and that he thinks he is an excellent player. Not sure that praise from someone who watched Craigie boy set up teams is any kind of recommendation!!! He is absolutely spewing about Hibs at the moment tho

[04Sauzee]

Good interview with him on Hibs TV

Describes himself ad someone who likes to break the lines, likes a tackle, strong, energetic, likes a shot and likes to drive with the ball.

Don’t recall a 5 year deal for a new signing but the club gave Lewis a 5 year deal at one point and we all through our hands up in horror. In hindsight that turned out OK, all things considered.

[NAE NOOKIE]

You can never over value a player who can carry the ball through the midfield .... Pat McGinlay and SJM were prime examples of what a difference that can make to a team. Lets hope he can be that player for the current side.

Welcome to Hibs Kyle :aok:

[Big90inOz]

The team is crying out for someone who can carry the ball forward and take on the opposition, if you can beat your man it destroys the other sides formation as it pulls someone out of position. He likes a shot which is always good from the midfield, the shots weren't just hit and hope either, some of them were clever and thought out.

its getting really interesting from a team selection point of view, who do you leave out ?

[FilipinoHibs]

Looks just what we need and speaks well. Exciting signing.

St Mirren statement says

'After the initial approaches from Hibernian were rejected, Kyle made it clear to the club his desire to move. With this in mind the club made the difficult decision to accept an improved offer and allow Kyle to make the move.'

Magennis says

“I went in and saw the manager and Tony Fitzpatrick.

“I said it was a good opportunity and I’d like to go but I wasn’t going to fall out with anybody over it. I’m not that type of boy especially because I had been there for so long.

“I would never have said I’m not playing for you.

“I had a good chat with them and the gaffer said it was a good opportunity but he didn’t want me to go. On the Friday morning I got a call saying they had agreed a fee."

Hamsterstring is not a great injury but the only important thing was it was not connected with his previous long term injury.

It’s not, but when you’ve had a long term injury, you tend to pick up a few niggles when you come back

[The Modfather]

Given the injury he had and the stop start season he’s having as a result it might be closer to next season before we see the best of him.

Based on nothing but a gut feel, and absolutely nothing scientific, I worry he’s not going to be the answer to the many things our midfield lacks. Although to be fair I don’t think 1 player can solve it on his own, need at least a couple of new midfielders.

[CMurdoch]

I'm the same. Based on absolutely nothing other than a feeling because I admittedly know next to nothing about him I can't say I'm expecting him to be that exciting a signing. Really hope I'm wrong.

I think once he’s up to speed he’ll be the box to box type player we’ve been missing in the middle.

Hamsterstring is not a great injury but the only important thing was it was not connected with his previous long term injury.
Hopefully when he comes back he can start reaching full match fitness levels quickly.
Dunno!

None of my kids Hamsters lived that long 😃

[NAE NOOKIE]

Auld age .... I had forgotten we had signed him, shouldn't have a bother getting into our midfield in it's current state, sooner he is fit the better.

Hope so because we desperately need it :agree:

Magennis, Gogic & Newell with Boyle & Murphy wide is potentially our best midfield and Magennis needs to be up to speed for that to work

Pretty sure Scott Allan gets in our best midfield.

Yup, ahead of Newell.

[MWHIBBIES]

Yup, ahead of Newell.

Allan in a 2 would be dreadful. He gets into the current side ahead of Mallan. Magennis still has to earn his spot.

Newall has done more than any of them this season.

Thats settled then.

[MWHIBBIES]

No, that's just my opinion. It's nice if you to put so much confidence in me, though.

Didn't Richard Gere get injured whilst Hamstering once? I'm not claiming to be "in the know" just heard a rumour once, a while back...

[davhibby]

Interestingly Leeann posted a picture of her with Magennis earlier saying we’d been trying for him for the last 4/5 years. That shows how highly he’s rated by the club
