Have we made a mistake??

Unreal to watch him playing every week, when he was always injured at Hibs.

Don't know the facts but he was always a good enough player for Hibs, how can Killie get him on the pitch??

Frustrating.

If he stays fit, then yes. However, he could easily get injured next week and not be seen again for the rest of the season, hence the reason we got rid.

Undoubted baller but far too injury prone. If he was constantly fit he would be starting every week for us still

When he gets to 20-25 in a row we can think about it.

Agreed - a disgrace of a pitch.

However, McInnes was available when we were looking for a new manager. So also a disgrace that the club didn't seriously consider him (which according to accounts at the time, we didn't).

Maybe doesn't have the stones to make it at a team like Hibs when the pressure is on every game? Won't be the first player.

No one will convince me if he goes on injury free run this season that it isn't anything else.

We will be unlucky if he does get a run of games. Tbh he is the sort of player we need in midfield but it was like a joke how we couldn’t rely on him at all

green day
20-08-2023, 05:58 PM
We can hardly say it was a mistake to release him when he spent more time on the treatment table than the pitch with us.

We couldn't trust him.

Hope for his sake he goes on to have a good career, but removing him was 100% the right thing to do.

20-08-2023, 06:04 PM
Given we probably need a bit more ball playing athleticism (aka a big guy that can mix it but also pass a ball) I can’t agree that it’s a 100 percent right thing to do. I think we might well regret letting him go

Even if Magennis does manage 35+ games this season we still made the correct decision. He had contributed nowhere near enough in the time he had been here and there is no way we could have risked a 3rd summer putting all our eggs in the Magennis basket.

Really like Magennis and rate him as a player but no question the club had to get rid. His injury record at Hibs was appalling and value for money he must be one of the worst signings ever for us (despite often being good when he did feature.)

Not his fault, not the clubs fault just really unfortunate it didn't work out. But we had to get him off the payroll. Lets see how many games he's managed at the end of the season. Wouldn't think playing on a plastic pitch regularly will help him at all.

Now I'm not saying Lennon was correct but I wonder if Magennis's injuries were mostly in his head, you know what it's like feel a tiny twinge it's really nothing but he thinks oh no here we go again. Just a theory he looks OK now.

McInnes managed teams have long been known for playing absolutely terrible football, with emphasis on kicking everything that moves that isn't in your teams colours.

Absolutely not what I'd want from a Hibs manager.

Also worth noting that managers who have good spells at other clubs in Scotland haven't always worked out for us. We all cried out for Terry Butcher after Fenlon left because he had Inverness punching well above their weight, turns out he was a complete disaster and his style didn't work at Hibs, what's to say that wouldn't be the same with McInnes?

Definitely the correct decision to get rid when the opportunity arose.

He’s a good player, but even when he wasn’t out injured he was rarely someone you thought played brilliant. Had a few really good games, and a lot of distinctly average ones.

Moving him on should have meant we brought in a better player to do the job we wanted him to do…instead we didn’t address that at all, and still we’re short a quality attacking midfielder.

He certainly wasn’t someone who was as good as people make him out to be imo.

He had a good wee run at the start of 21/22. Other than that, he was varying levels of poor-average imo.

I would be questioning though why he couldn't string a run of games with us, only to move somewhere else and do it straight away. Big if at this stage but I do often feel like we seem to pick up a hell of a lot of injuries.

72 point seasons, average amount of goals over about 7 seasons that almost matches our 17/18 season where we were an outstanding attacking team.

It’s absolute nonsense. He was sacked when it all fell apart at the end. He absolutely wasn’t playing terrible football the rest of his tenure, they had some exceptional attacking players and scored a barrel load.

It’s no really that much more. 900 minutes of football he’s managed before he’s out again. Hamstring as well so he’ll probably be in and out and always be a couple of weeks away as he was with us. Shame for him, his body just can’t cope with playing for any sustained period of time.

Sorry but Kyle Mageniss' ability gets massively overstated by some of our support. Putting aside his glaring issue of staying fit longer than 10 games, he must have had about 5/6 good games for us?

That's probably a small percentage of the total games he played for us, even with his injuries. Don't forget he must have had a good number of games under Jack Ross where he was absolutely anonymous.

I find it very difficult to believe he'd be our best player. Feel bad for the guy and his injury problems, but there's definitely some revisionism or something going on when folk say how amazing he is.

He was never better than Joe Newell, he just scored the odd goal which massively exaggerated his ability imo. He was good, but never our best player.

Goals seen to do that for midfielders here. People overlook huge flaws in Campbells game because he scores. Campbell is fine, deserves everything he gets because he works very hard, but his footballing ability needs to improve.

Jack Ross played Magennis out of position when he first came into the team. We never saw the best of him until he was moved more central. He had a great start to the 21/22 season and looked like he’d really motor on until the injuries arrived again. Don’t think there’s any revisionism going on at all.

We will never know how good magennis could have been as sadly his career has been plagued with injuries though anytime I seen him he looked a player . Different type of Midfielder to Newell though .

Goalscoring midfielders are popular and not just on here , there hard to get !. As to Campbells flaws yes he has some though all our Midfielders have some sort of flaw in there game imo , yesterday i wondered were our Midfield was in the first half of our game with hertz :dunno:

He had just come back for a serious injury and Ross played him in various positions just to get the minutes into his legs. When he played on his preferred position he was very good but couldn't stay fit. He should never have been signed until his fitness was proved but because Ross worked with him before, we took a chance, waste of wages for 2 years, not the lads fault but just poor management.

For me it was no coincidence that when he got injured before (or in/after?) that first Edinburgh Derby in 21/22 season our form went right out the window. We were looking like a great wee side that could have gone on to get third after the 7/8 games we were looking good for it, then after his injury we started to collapse entirely and arguably never really recovered for the best part of a year in terms of putting back-to-back wins together. Which coincided with around the time of Magennis returning under LJ.

He was clearly a good good player, better than some others we had for sure, and while I love Joe Newell lets not kid ourselves that many didn't prefer the fit KM in the midfield over him and JDH for large spells until Newell kicked his game up a gear.

He had just come back for a serious injury and Ross played him in various positions just to get the minutes into his legs. When he played on his preferred position he was very good but couldn't stay fit. He should never have been signed until his fitness was proved but because Ross worked with him before, we took a chance, waste of wages for 2 years, not the lads fault but just poor management.

The manager took a chance in signing him,it didn't come off.its the kind of signing clubs our size make, some you win some you lose, but he was at an age where if it had gone the other way we'd have had a very good player on our hands and potentially a large fee when we sold him.

Oh I totally agree, we got him fairly cheap and as you say a punt on an injured that this time didn't work out, it's a shame because he had the makings of a very good player. I say poor management because this wasn't his 1st bad injury, the signs were all there, he needed to prove his fitness before we actually signed him.

Did we get him cheap?

We paid a fee and he was captain of another team in our league. We also gave him a 5 year deal. I’d fancy the fee and contract we offered up to him combined will make him one of the most expensive signings we’ve made since the McLeish days.

Didn't think the fee was huge, £200k ish but 5 year deal was a nonsense for someone with his injury record, it's done now and we move on.

My recollection of Magennis is that when played in his proper position he looked the player we had been looking for in midfield the missing link providing drive and power a ball winner dragging us up the park linking defence to attack

A totally different type of midfield player to Super Joe

Sadly these performances were few and far between and have become a distant memory due to injuries and we will never know how good he might have been in the famous green and white scoring 7:49

A gamble that did not work out

I wish him a full and speedy recovery

Edit:

Every time I looked at him he reminded me of another goal scoring midfield legend : Pat McGinlay

:agree:

It didn’t work out but it was a signing that ticked all the boxes at the time.

But it wasn’t all good news for the Rugby Park boss as he revealed midfielders Kyle Magennis and Brad Lyons are facing a lengthy spell on the sidlelines after going under the knife for respective hamstring and cruciate injuries.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, McInnes said: “We have two significant injuries.

“Kyle Magennis had has a recurrence – a different muscle in part of the hamstring but still a significant injury – and he has had an operation and he will be out for the next wee while.

I wonder if it's genetics or over exposure at a young age that causes these problems for guys like Magennis.

Such a shame, very talented guy.

Just biology and bad luck. Some players, like Magennis, are just so injury prone. Others never seem to be out. Always remember Darren Jackson was rarely injured when with us, he was skin and bone and took some treatment as well.

Must be devastating for a player knowing your body is constantly failing you and there's really not anything you can do about it. Feel for Magennis, it didn't work out but not his fault. As seems to be the consensus, he's a very good player but forever injured. Will take a toll psychologically too.

Shame for the guy. If he could stay fit he's a good player

Yeah. Had all the attributes to go to a very high level. I was disappointed when he left Hibs but this shows that sadly it was the correct decision.

Only 2 clubs have signed him following his St Mirren days to be fair, not as if there have been 5 or 6 clubs taking a chance on him
