He was good. Just helped Hull to promotion and a contender for their player of the season.

Watching an abject Killie side last night I recalled some on here saying we should go for Kabamba or Brophy!!! I've always quite liked Kiltie & McKenzie but I don't think they're what we need right now. TBF to Ross, I think most people approved of his signings & many of them, Gogic & Cadden in particular, were touted on here long before arrival. Most people also approved of Murphy, Nisbet, Magennis and Irvine. Ironically, probably the most successful has been the least heralded, Paul McGinn. I think the point I'm trying to make is we tend to notice players doing something well or having a good game for another team. When they come to us & are subjected to more regular scrutiny, the allure often fades. Kerr & Campbell fit the profile of players we are in market for but personally I remain to be convinced about the latter. I think the young lad Hamilton, at Hamilton, is a real talent & as its been a while since we signed a St M player, I'd go for Cammy MacPherson. Unlike our midfield he actually shoots!
100% our priority should be a centre back and some real creative quality in midfield. I'd be letting Wright / Maginnes away to free up wages if necessary, can't see them really making the grade long term. Mate of mine was saying Durmus would be a good signing - would have to agree.
I still have high Hope's for Magennis, hopefully a good pre season behind him and he can progress🤞
Magennis is here on a 5 year deal and going nowhere anytime soon.
Ross has invested a lot in him. I would say that he's been at Hibs since September and offered very little. He must have been match fit for many months so not sure a pre-season will make any difference.
Yes, to be fair it's not often he's played in that central role. He has to earn the right though and show he's better than the competition. Like you guys, I'm hopeful he will establish himself, but I can't say he done much to show that he will thus far. Time is on his side though, next season will be a big one for him.
Magennis has only played left mid because we’ve had a severe lack of them and he’s been coming back from injury and lacking confidence.
By all accounts the players think he’s a bit of a tank and his best football was played centrally and going by Ross’ description that’s where he will play.
A good pre season and staying free of injury and he’ll show he’s a good signing
Aye I think there’s more to come from magennis but has to be through the middle, he’s not a left midfielder.
He certainly won’t be getting sold 1 year into a 4/5 year contact

How would that sideways move benefit Boyle?
He is looking for a pay day i.e 3 year contract with an English Championship team with a nice fat signing on fee etc not a match up with Deadly Dave and Grampa Broony at the freezerdome for an extra few quid a week and free air travel to Atlanta.
Never happening.
