Me too, but Dylan will probably hold fire and see what else is on offer.

I knew we’ve been looking at someone from league 2, early 20’s
IMO I would not be sure Hibs would have a playing budget to allow for a "mate" to come in.
Suggestions that he was injured when he came.
Maybe he fitted in the alternative striker that Lennon was looking for and his wages were within the remainder of the budget left for players knowing Stokes would take a high porportion of the remaining.
There is zero chance he was signed to keep slivka company. Slivka has been away from home a long time now and I doubt he expects to go home anytime soon either.
He was signed because it was thought he could do the job Holt done. From what I’ve seen in u20 games, he’s not good enough. Hopefully he can be moved on in Jan for his own sake as much as ours.

I agree with most posters that big Dave really has not had enough time on the pitch for any of us to form any solid impression.
If, as has been said, big Dave is being held in store for the muddy pitches to come, where the long ball is the only way forward, then he must be a frustrated individual at this time. If he wants away because of lack of game time this is understandable and who could blame him.
There must have been cheaper Lithuanians to sign to keep Slivka company surely :greengrin
Might still work out for the big fellae, but I wouldn't be surprised to see him moved on in January.
One decent performance and a goal against Hearts and he'll be one of our most important players a needing signed-up for another season. :wink:
Sure I read that big Dave had been watched by Lennon for almost a full season prior to us signing him. Hardly just a signing just to attract Slivka.
Nothing against big Dave bit I hope wee keep playing well enough that he is not needed. It was a terrible brand of football with Holt up front. Dave has looked ok and I'm sure he has scored one and possibly set up one despite the lack of game time. Good option to have but hope he is just that
Will be a tragedy if Dylan doesn’t sign a new deal. 🙏
This could well be a stumbling point as there may well be clubs that come in that could offer better terms. However if we're putting a decent offer on the table and he and his family are happy here and settled then we should have a good shout of him staying (I don't know if Dylan has a family or they're even in Scotland, just surmising :greengrin). Really hope he stays as he is a quality player.

Lucas Joao(Striker) was rumoured in the summer from Sheff Wed, still not getting a game. 6 month loan for him would be great. Watched him play for Blackburn last year quite a bit and he would terrorize Scottish defences.
