Magennis

[HendoDelivered]

Shaun Maloney: “Kyle [Magennis], unfortunately, won't be available now for a few weeks. He had a slight setback in a contact injury in one of the practice games, so he'll be a little bit longer.”

🙄

[LunasBoots]

Oh jeez

[MWHIBBIES]

Gutted for the guy. I hope he is doing okay mentally as well because this cannot be enjoyable at all. Needs our full support.

[Chorley Hibee]

2 years of his contract gone, by the end of this season, and hardly anything in return.

Another in the long line of sick note signings.

[Callum_62]

Atleast its a contact injury

Annoying though

We need 2 quality midfielders now . Doesn't Surprise me ,only ( like all players to an extent ) one tackle from a lengthy spell in the treatment room . All the best Kyle.

From what we've seen this year he was well worth the risk- nobody has a crystal ball though. Do we assume that every player who's ever been injured will be a 'sick note signing'?

Highly unlikely we're able to sign a guy that good under other circumstances.

He's been here almost two years and has played something like 20 odd league games. It's undoubtedly a shame for the guy, but for me we need to find a replacement cause I honestly think he'll be out injured more than he isn't, happens with some players unfortunately.

[Callum_62]

Mind Boyle got a lengthy injury then another one right on the back of it (mightve even been a reoccurance)

Thankfully we didn't bin him

Contact injury is just unfortunate

This was a daft signing in the first place, his injury record is terrible and Ross knew that before we signed him anyway.

He was class at the start of this season but we're suffering massively by having our best player in his position permanently injured.

Suppose my point is, it's not like we couldn't have predicted this scenario unfolding before we signed him. It's not a freak injury or anything, he's just permanently injured.

Exactly, but don't worry, just another 3 years of his contract to keep paying up whilst he doesn't play.

If we sign Barker then at least he'll have company in the treatment room.

We might get him on the park for one of his five years here if we’re lucky. A real shame for him but it was a risk from us giving him such a long deal given his previous issues. Badly need another midfielder now.

[Hibees1973]

This.....Jesus don’t sign Barker as well, he’s another another we could get burnt with who has a terrible injury record.

[lord bunberry]

He needs to be sent away as soon as possible to an expert on whatever it is that’s causing him his issue. If we have to write off another season then so be it. Get him fit and a proper training schedule so that he can get through a season without breaking down every couple of weeks. Since he’s been injured we’ve struggled badly and haven’t been close to having another player come in and do what he does.

He's a very good player but as usual, the only reason he is at Easter Road is because he is injury prone. The same can be said for Murphy and Cadden.

[Leith Green]

This just hammers home the importance of signing a quality central midfielder now. I can almost guarantee a last minute loan deal similar to us signing the big huddie from Hull

A 'contact injury' is probably a kick. He'll have bruising and stiffness probably that will set him back a bit. It isn't in the same sort of league (I'm sure we all hope) as a muscular or ligament injury.

You could not argue that unless you like an argument based on absolutely nothing whatsoever. Nothing to suggest Dylan was faking anything. He got a good run of fitness. Thats all.

Dylan McGeouch in his 4 seasons here - 95 games
David Gray in his last 4 seasons - 55 games.

Was Gray faking it?

[Highwayman]

I was wondering when Magennis got injured in September why there was no clear information as to when he was coming back.

As time went on and the lack of information continued,I became pessimistic that we wouldn’t see Magennis in a Hibs strip again this season.

This latest setback has done nothing to convince me otherwise.

[Chuck Rhoades]

Has appeared in ~20 of past ~90 matches? He is a good player, but we can’t afford to have players who contribute to a quarter of our games.

Yeah we should use the money for a crystal ball instead then we could see future injuries for all potential signings over the length of their contract…would save us a fortune and I have no idea why the club hasn’t bought one yet.

That would tie in with what Maloney said in the preview interview for today’s game. He said we would find out early next week whether Magennis would be a few weeks away or maybe a bit longer.

I thought his season was over a while ago now but the ‘bit longer’ part had me worried that it might spill into next season as well! Hopefully things start to look up for the guy but it looks like we will need to sign a replacement for him in the summer.

A big gamble signing him when injured and it’s not paid off (so far). There’s obviously still time for him at Hibs but it’s not looking promising.

[Stevie Reid]

Had a feeling since quite early on in his Hibs career that it just wouldn’t work out for one reason or another. Real shame, as he showed what a good player he was at the start of this season.

I know it’s not as simple as him being missing, but the number of league games that we’ve won (or, conversely, not won) since he went off during that St. Johnstone game suggests that he’s really important to how we play.

I do remember being surprised at a five year contract being handed out. When’s the last time we had done that prior to him? Did we give Brebner five years when we signed him from Reading?

So disappointing for both us and him.

He was the difference at the start of the season but the number of games he has managed in each of the last few seasons speaks for itself. He just isn't going to be consistently available for so long that we really need to move to replace him in the short to medium term at least.

[superfurryhibby]

It would be interesting to know how a club can remove itself from a contract when a player is so clearly unable to manage the rigours of playing?

It’s rare to see such a young guy actually retire. Who decides if his body is unable to cope?

A five year contract was always a gamble. I wasn’t that comfortable with it at the time, thinking it excessive. Hindsight has shown that was a huge error from the decision makers at the time.

I feel sorry for the guy, but he’s been an awful signing. It can’t be good for him physically, the operations will no doubt take their toll on him, as well as hit the club financially.

[Stevie Reid]

I can’t even begin to imagine the impact that this all must have on him mentally, also. Hard to imagine he’ll have much faith in this body holding up when he comes back from this latest setback - any twinge or slight pain will likely cause him huge concern.

Long road back in every sense.

I’d imagine it would have played a part.

A presumably 3k a week or so wage over 5 years along with the transfer fee means he would have been a £1m commitment by Hibs. For Hibs that’s absolutely huge and I would imagine one of our most expensive signings all things considered of all time. The fact it’s turned out a disaster will have been a consideration imo.

[A Hi-Bee]

When the experts speak of getting rid of a Hibs player, I am reminded that we did the same with our greatest ever player. We dumped the great Gordon Smith and that worked out well! At least for Gordon it did as he won another 2 league medals. One with hertz and one with Dundee, he was the one supplying all the crosses for big Alan Gilzean to nod in as Dundee ran away wi the league that year. Only player in Scotland to win 3 league winners medals wi different teams.
So, all I wid say is be careful what you wish for, in getting rid of players due to injury, speaking of which the Sheep have told Dylan he can go in the summer, anyone for a great wee holding midfield player????

:thumbsup:

[Stubbsy90+2]

That’s all completely made up.

There was a reason I said I’d imagine, presumably and imo in there. There was never any attempt in my post to suggest I knew exact figures or whether I knew if it contributed to Mathie being sacked, Infact it was made quite clear I didn’t.

It’ll not be a million miles off though. A 5 year contract for a player we paid a fee for is huge and will carry a significant financial cost for Hibs. If we deem a player good enough to pay a fee and a 5 year deal then they’re not coming in as a low earner.

There’ll not be many players in our history who we’ve made such a financial commitment in upon their initial signing.

Giving that contract to Magennis was absolute madness at the time and has been proven to be the case over the last two seasons.

Comparing Gordon Smith and Kyle Magennis is a bit ridic though, one had given 16 years of glorious service, the other has barely kicked a baw with any intent in the not quite two seasons he’s been at Hibs.

Bad luck for both Hibs and Magennis, but it’s hardly a surprise that people might question his capacity to recover.

He’s scored five goals in 19 starts so fair to say that’s a quality he has.

From memory he had a fluke v United at home last season, and scored in our first two league games this season. Scored in Europe as you said, and against Killie in the LC this season.

He’s quite clearly a very good player when everything falls into place perfectly for him.

When it doesn’t though, like last season, he was really really poor.

Someone with his injury record is rarely going to have things fall into place perfectly for him though. If he ever does appear for Hibs again he’s going to have to show a hell of a lot more than he has in the majority of his appearances for us so far which have by and large been poor.

It must be devastating for the guy. Obvious quality as a footballer, but obvious issues with fitness.

We can't go into next season with any expectations that he's going to be available. We absolutely need to bring in another Magennis type player.

[Unseen work]

Gutted for him.

One thing I find weird is what the wait was for him getting the op? To begin with it was a set back after an injury in a bounce game.

You would think they would have known the extent of it quite quick and if it required an op or have they decided to treat an other area he’s had issues?

Either way he’s back for pre season which is a boost and hopefully he’ll have all his injuries behind him.

[Stuart93]

Really not starting to look good for him & his career, constantly injured and we’ve had next to nothing to show for the money we spent on him

Hopefully he can get over his injury problems but it doesn’t look promising

[Northernhibee]

Gutted for the lad. He looked brilliant for us at the start of this season.

[HFC93]

Can't some people are writing him off (I shouldn't be suprised given the form of some posters). Kyle Magennis just needs to look at John Souttar who has come back stronger after some horrendous injuries.

Everyone says John Soutar came back stronger. When did he last play?

I think buying a crocked player is always a.risk. It hasn’t worked out . Posters are describing Magennis as brilliant. To me he is the sort of player everyone else in the league has-box to box,plenty energy,chips in with a few goals.Everyone but us. Brilliant? No.

[Billy Whizz]

Is this the same injury he picked up in August, or is it a new one from the bounce game?

[NAE NOOKIE]

It would be easier to moan about this guy's injury problems and go on about cutting our losses if it wasn't for the fact that in the brief spell we did get to see him he showed what a good player he can be. Without this new injury he looked like an absolute stick on starter every week if he continued to show the form he did in that spell, good on the ball and has a goal in him.

Lets hope he fully recovers and comes back next season the player it looks like he can be.

This is why even though I'm not convinced Maloney shouldn't find an alternative to his tippy tappy fitba in the short term I'm prepared to cut him some slack. No manager should be judged when faced with the horrendous injury list Hibs have been faced with to key players. I reserve the right to change that to a knee jerk Maloney out reaction if we lose the next two :greengrin

[Ronniekirk]

Who knows Billy as far as we knew a few weeks ago an op wasn’t on the cards and he was back training again after that knock in training So have to assume he broke down in training

I’d imagine one of the reasons he came to us was the security of a 5 year contract, looks like a wise move thus far for him. Any indication of what the issue is now or whether he’s be available for the start of the new season?

He says that he’s looking forward to pre season so at this point it would seem that the plan is that he’ll be ready to go for that.

[hhibs]

There was a reason I said I’d imagine, presumably and imo in there. There was never any attempt in my post to suggest I knew exact figures or whether I knew if it contributed to Mathie being sacked, Infact it was made quite clear I didn’t.

It’ll not be a million miles off though. A 5 year contract for a player we paid a fee for is huge and will carry a significant financial cost for Hibs. If we deem a player good enough to pay a fee and a 5 year deal then they’re not coming in as a low earner.

There’ll not be many players in our history who we’ve made such a financial commitment in upon their initial signing.

Giving that contract to Magennis was absolute madness at the time and has been proven to be the case over the last two seasons.



All too sadly your points are valid.

However we are where we are,we must give full support as a club and as supporters to a player who has has cursed luck and who is in no way at fault.

WE all hope he can come back and be the player we have seen glimpses of,he could still make a mighty contribution to Hibs yet

He has a contract,we have sunk costs ,so no ,not at another club.

Just posted on his instagram that the season is over for him.

Thats a bummer. Look forward to seeing him back in a Hibs shirt next season.

[Sir David Gray]

Very disappointing news, not least for Magennis himself.

Sadly though football's a harsh business and the club must be looking for a replacement in the summer.

It will be hard to move him on though with almost 4 years left on his contract.

Real shame.

There’s no moving him on , where would he go? He’s had serious injury issues for 3 seasons and barely kicked a ball. It’s not likely he will attract a club who can pay him a salary close to what Hibs have paid.

The question for me is how much surgery and rehab does he go through before expert medical advice tells him to quit?

He’ll no doubt have a crack at a pre season. However, if that goes wrong, then enough is enough.

Very disappointing for Magennis and Hibs. He had four or five games this season where he actually looked decent.

[skyehibee]

What exactly is the injury? ACL? Usually the sort of injury that puts you out for a full season and does re occur.

[hibee-boys]

He says that he’s looking forward to pre season so at this point it would seem that the plan is that he’ll be ready to go for that.

Aw well, that’s encouraging at least. Not many games left this season, albeit very important one’s, and wouldn’t have expected him to contribute much even if he hadn’t required surgery given his lack of match fitness.

I think he last played in March, has played 30+ so far this season which has brought him back into the Scotland set up and a move to Rangers so I would he has done well since his injury.

[SteveHFC]

Out until next season.

[Tyler Durden]

This thread is a horror show. People suggesting he should quit, be released or sold etc. Same jokers who thought McGeouch should have been released every season no doubt.

He's an excellent player. He averaged about 30 games a season as a young player for St Mirren. He's come to us and had some real bad luck but he'll only just be turning 24 in August. If we keep him fit he'll be a huge asset, he was tremendous at the start of the season.

He’s only played more than 30 games in 1 season, going back to 2016-17. 32 that season, 29 the next and then dropped down to just 19 the following season. Since then it’s been 27, 23 and 13.

I’m not suggesting emptying him, I still think he’s got the potential to be a top player for us however that will only happen if he can get fit, stay fit and play a decent amount of games consistently

TBF, you’re totally exaggerating.

Imagine a football forum where fans can’t discuss a players fitness (ok, with Scott Allan, a degree of restraint was exercised and rightly so by the admin team). No one is saying anything unreasonable in my opinion.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Looking at his stats, he has played 109 games.

St Mirren 88 from 2016-2020 and 21 for us. He has 5 Caps also.

That is a pretty low average year on year, 5 year contract always a gamble, is he just having extremely bad luck?

You appear to be suggesting he's fragile? Without any access to his medical records, or the injuries he has had how do you know that?

I am suggesting some players are more prone to injury than others. This guy has a horrendous injury record at both St Mirren & Hibs.

I am deducing from that he is very fragile.

Ah but then there’s the sunk costs fallacy….

fwiw I think we need to give him another chance. Until it becomes clear if we need to mitigate against further losses. I hope he comes good. It’s not as if he wanted to be sitting on the sidelines.

He’ll get lots of chances because he still has three years left on his deal and no other club would be daft enough to sign an injured player.
At least with McGeogh it was one injury that was causing him a problem and eventually a specialist sorted it. With Macgennis it appear to be a catalogue of different injuries one after the other. And the recovery period after each one always takes much longer than expected. I don’t know of any other word that best describes him other than fragile.
Hopefully he turns it around but I have my doubts.

St Mirren must be laughing at getting close to £200k for him from us.

Much as I sympathise with the player we have been royally shafted here.

Buying a player with a poor injury record and one who was not even fit to play when he joined us reflects really poorly on the recruitment guys and Jack Ross as well. Stupid idiots.

Is there really anyone else out there who thinks this guy will be able to play 10 consecutive games for us without getting injured again.

Get rid asap and remove him from the wage bill. Hopefully it's a lesson learned.

We signed him Ona 5 year deal for a reason. Captain of St Mirren with 100 games under his belt at 21. Their fans raved about him.

His first season here was a write off but look at how he started the season here, that was clearly the real Magennis - when fit.

Scored important goals for us, was a big threat in the derby game. Then moved back to a deeper role he was MOTM in home win vs Livi. Very good player at this level and has potential to go higher IMO

It was aimed at those saying we should just pay him up and get rid of him.

It would be pretty hard to argue a case for Magennis being a good signing/value for money. Showed a lot of signs at the start of the season then another injury.

I seen him at the open goal event in October & he was adamant he’d be back after the upcoming international break.

He's got age on his side. Sometimes you just have a shoddy year or two in football, he's had that. He'll be fine, get him back fit and raring to go asap and see the real Kyle again.

If we got rid of him you can bet ur mortgage the same posters will be wetting themselves when he came back and scored against us.

Magennis having a bad run of luck probably linked to the injury he was recovering from when we signed him, rushed himself back to quickly to play for new club or we rushed him too quick, sometimes ur too scared to use the previously injured muscles u put too much strain on the others to compensate,I dunno far from an expert we’d do well to stand by the guy and get him fully recovered and in the right frame of mind for next year though there’s no doubting he’s a talented player

[Viva_Palmeiras]

We didn’t get where we are today without perseverance - heck many of us literally and metaphorically bought the T-shirt. We’re all frustrated with the injuries - particularly bad this season.

Don’t think anybody is really having a go at the player. Not his fault he’s injured and it’s not his fault he was given a five year contract.

We can’t go in to next season relying on him though. We’ve not been able to do that in all his time here and St Mirren couldn’t before we paid them a lot of money (by our standards) for him.

It’s almost like some folk can’t tolerate the reality of the situation and want to silence the ones who are becoming increasingly concerned as to whether Magennis will ever be fit enough to play regular football at Hibs.

Some of the emotive language being used is really poor from the drama queens who can’t have a reasonable conversation without seeing some strange ulterior purpose behind any discouraging word. Of course we have our resident fud getting into the mix, which doesn’t help.

However, it’s ok to be sceptical about Magennis, his injury history, the wisdom of a fee and five year contract. Let’s not make it about happy clapping/ bed wetting, it’s boring.

[Smartie]

A lot has (rightly) been made of the loss of Boyle, and the importance he had to our results and the way we played.

Magennis looked to almost be the keystone in Jack Ross' side earlier this season and the difference in results with him in and out of the side has been stark.

He was really proving his worth earlier this season and every Hibs fan should be (and I'm sure will be) desperate to see him fully fit and back in the team.

But I don't think reasonable, adult conversation about the likelihood of that happening, given his terrible injury record in recent years is unfair.

Aint it just funny that it is always the same ones who jump on the bandwagon, like wee dugs after a bone, just don't want to give up so I give them a tiny bit of credit for stamina but nothing for perseverance that's for Hibs supporters.

A lot has (rightly) been made of the loss of Boyle, and the importance he had to our results and the way we played.

Magennis looked to almost be the keystone in Jack Ross' side earlier this season and the difference in results with him in and out of the side has been stark.

He was really proving his worth earlier this season and every Hibs fan should be (and I'm sure will be) desperate to see him fully fit and back in the team.

But I don't think reasonable, adult conversation about the likelihood of that happening, given his terrible injury record in recent years is unfair.

This is actually a very good point. Our change in form closely correlates to magennis being unavailable. I liked what I saw of h8m this season and he looked a different player to the one last season

You’ve sussed me out brains.

Any opinion other than yours then we must all be yams. Have a night off if you’ve not got anything to add to the debate. Or maybe just don’t comment?

You hate Hibs you troll every thread complaining about everything and everyone absolutely brutal patter.

Try going to games. He was the main reason when we actually had a good run of form.

He was good but everyone was playing well. He wasn't the main reason.

We’ve not had an active no10 since he left the pitch imo.

It’s an opinion, that’s all. Scared me a bit that you spend all your time checking my posts, but whatever floats your boat.

To look at the five year contract bit from another angle:

If we had only given him two years then it's fair to say that the fee paid would have been a waste of money but as it stands, when he recovers (and he will recover) he'll be like a new signing - an excellent players with three years on his contract for no further cost. That's not bad is it?

Boyle was near enough i to double figures by the time Magennis got injured.

Magennis was good, so this isn’t a criticism of him, but it was Boyle who was the main man.

Aye and we have lost him too not to mention Doidge and Nisbet.
No wonder we are struggling up front.

We haven't done a great job at helping him recover so far though.

Have we been trying to rush him back due to his importance? I don't know.

I just find it hard to be too optimistic in the aftermath of him being ruled out for the season that when he recovers from this injury he's going to be any more likely to fully recover than at any point he's been close to a full recovery than at any one of the many points he's seemed close to a return over the past x months/ years.

Past results are no guarantee of future performance.

At the start of next season we will have a very good player who is fit and ready to go on contract for three years. A Good Thing or a Bad Thing?

After a full pre season Kyle looked like the player who we'd missed since SJM went down to Villa. Thought he was great before the injury. Hopefully he starts next season in a similar way. He was captian of St Mirren at 21. He's a very good player. Injuries have held him back so far but hoopefully he'll get through it. Time is on his side at least.
