Magennis up front with Ajose and Novak attacking midfielder solves 2 problems. Midfield of Holmes, Croft, Novak, Lookman. Silly me, that is an attacking formation. Magennis on bench

Novak isn't a midfielder. We need 2 CMs and a winger in to complete the squad and that's assuming none leave (already assuming Tex has gone).

Maybe it's what ajose needs though?

A big guy who can have the ball lumped up to him and ajose can score off the knock down etc.

Be nice to have a big man who can also score though.

What Ajose needs is a pacey, energetic and creative midfield behind him. You can sign all the forwards you like but we're going nowhere without that.

Colin confirms move for Magennis on his Twitter account.

So we bid 100k, they said no, we pulled out and then went back in with a 300k bid.

By all accounts we had a second bid of £200,000 rejected as well

J BLOCK

Lookmans replacement. 3 midfielders short.

That was one brilliant Negotiating Skills course that Katie went on!

Adds to the strength in depth so can't complain. Pointless addition if we don't get some energy and forward momentum in midfield.

Kilmarnock: We're not going to accept £100k. We would accept £250k
KM: Would you take....£300k?

Now let me see if I have this right:

We lend a Scottish striker of some ability to a Scottish club and probably still pay some of his wages.

We purchase for £275k a Scottish striker of limited ability

Good business?

Great way for Colin fans to stay in touch.

He's got some interesting "likes" on there!

Magennis...thoroughly unimpressed. No doubt will be our 3rd choice goalie and be played out on the wing.

Hope to be proved wrong but it feels like 300k wasted at the mo. Time will tell.

Quick Twitter search tells me that Louis Thompson sat with the Swindon fans in their away game at QPR tonight.

That's the end of that one then.

Unless of course he's currently in London signing for us and decided to get a game in?!

Dazzler21

We offered

100k
Then 200k
Then 275k plus up to 25k in add ons from the rumours I've seen here and on Twitter.

Go on colin you kinky devil

Redhenry

Can't believe we paid anything like that. We bid 75k and the club said it was 100k initially

Alwaysneil

Oh totally agree ajose needs central midfield control and movement.

That has to be primary targets left, pace and creation across the middle of the park.

sam3110

I would imagine it's closer to being 275k including add-ons

Haha just had a look. Not what I was expecting!

wmcf123

His goal record with Aberdeen was horrendous . Are we meant to be grateful to the Belgians for this ? Of course, he deserves several games to prove himself and he will have my support

BillG

This is yet another dud signing by Slade. How many more will he be allowed before he is shown the door? He is also a dud !!!

Alwaysneil

But he's our dud. Ahhh.

soapy_jones

So excited. IF I still had a foreskin I would pull it up over my head and jump up and down in it squealing with delight...

Sorry it's the shrooms!

Pretty decent impression of Russell Slade I reckon.

Alwaysneil

Now that would be one large foreskin. Unless your foreskin was in some way attached to your chin.

paulfox

Can foreskin play centre mid, box to box

Atletico Addick

Magennis, Christ. He reminds me of myself, tries hard and gives his all bless him but in terms of technical ability, L1 is pushing it for him. A goal to him is a rarity.
