Defo would have when she was in Gladiators, not sure what she’s done since.

Hosted a barn-dance at Yeovil Aerodrome last I heard.

Can’t argue with that. We move on.

Oh well if they want to deny the lad the chance to play for a bigger and better club then on their head be it. We move on to another target.

Think we might look to get someone in on loan for this season and revisit Magennis next summer if that's the case

Let’s revisit in January and sign him on a pre contract

All i read from that is Hibs need to up their offer tbh.

Doesn’t meet the valuation and don’t need to sell says to me they would sell for the right price.

I think it’s more a case of protecting the club in that a highly regarded player they invested a decent chunk of money in developing doesn’t just run down their contract an walk away for nothing.

If nobody wants to sign the player and pay the appropriate compensation to the developing clubs then the players only option would be to stay at that club until they are 24 and then move on a Bosman.

If the club are releasing the player (like we have done with Sterling) then the club would just forgo the training compensation they are due

As much I think it’s not good for the player I agree with the sentiment and would be raging if we got done in a similar situation 👍

They are quite entitled to reject the bid if they dont want to accept it. That attitude is best left to the old firm or were we out of order denying SJM the chance to play for Celtic?

That's Celtic patter that is. They are correctly serving themselves. As we did with Mcginn.

Im the same as you. It’s tempting for them but they’ve stood strong so far especially with spending money on his operation but as Goodwin says himself, he’s just back from a serious injury and only has a year left on his deal.

I can see us upping our offer and Magennis sharing his opinion that he wants the opportunity to speak to us and leave. It’s a risk for us spending money on him and just as big a risk for St Mirren rejecting that money in the current climate for a player that’s had a couple of bad injuries and is out of contract next year.

I can see him being a hibs player by Monday.

2 bids both rejected, sod them and move on to the next target.

twist.

**Since452** · 30-09-2020 03:17 PM

St Mirren's prerogative to say no. No issue with it at all. If they feel Hibs bids don't match their valuation then tough luck us.

Agreed but why have they gone public? It wasn't in the press as far as I could see until St Mirren themselves commented.

Just feels like they are sticking him in the shop window.

He’s not played since January. Maybe this isn’t the right time to sign him? We could line something up for January instead.

**Hibiza** · 30-09-2020 03:25 PM

Wouldn't it be nice to outbid the Sheep.

After their statement was put out, I believed that was it done.. Why harp on about it? Thinking like yourself, shop window.

**davhibby** · 30-09-2020 03:34 PM

All the stuff coming out of St Mirren at the moment looks to me as cover so that if we do get him they can say to the fans they tried to keep hold of him etc. If we really want him and he wants to come then these things usually happen

McIness wasn’t slow to get in on the act by all accounts. If St Mirren are after as much cash as they can get, it looks like it could be a choice between Aberdeen’s bigger financial punch and us with possibly a more familiar environment for Magennis, player wise. Then again, St Mirren might be genuinely digging their heels in and refusing to sell at any cost. What I can’t understand, if the rumours are true, is, if they point blank won’t sell, why did they ‘invite’ a second and third bid from us. Would they not have shown us the door, full stop, after the first bid?

***BT58*** · 30-09-2020 03:41 PM

Hibs should 'let it slip to the press that they now have' other targets in mind. It may get the player to push for a move. It will be an interesting end to the transfer window, it shows that were still looking and hopefully JR will get at least 1 or 2 new faces to carry on the good work started so far

If he had been out injured and hasn't played for months why are we so keen just now??? Unlikely to be fit for the semi

***WhileTheChief..*** · 30-09-2020 03:47 PM

When did Halliday to Hearts happen? Surprised he ended up there.

Probably a few of us had the same thoughts?

Confirmed a couple of days ago. Been chat of it for a while.

***mayo hibee*** · 30-09-2020 04:04 PM

I wonder if we are looking beyond the Scottish market to sort out our midfield issues, it's great signing players who know the league but only a limited number here are of the required standard for us to be honest - this lad would seem to tick most of the boxes in terms of what we are looking for, 21 years old, box to box midfielder, available for free and probably within our range in terms of wages.

I’d rather pay the extra for these young Scottish lads, than take a chance on us ending up with another Vela, or Ojo at Aberdeen.

**Since452** · 30-09-2020 04:12 PM

Not surprised clubs are trying to squeeze more cash out of it. St Mirren will have gone public to try and tempt Aberdeen or an English club no doubts about it and quite right too. Relegation looks a probability for them this season
