Mcgeouch

[Since90+2]

Folk seem to be under the impression McGeough has spent all of his time injured but he has actually played a decent amount of games each season:

Season 14/15 - 26 games played
Season 15/16 - 30 games played
Season 16/17 - 23 games played

So far this season he has played 32 matches so in total 111 appearances for the club.

As a comparison McGinn joined the club in the 15/16 season and has played 122 games in that time compared to McGeough's 85. Bartley in the same period has played 97 games so not that many more than Dylan.

Dylan had a hip imbalance which cause muscle strains on one side, after advice from Robert Snodgrass he went to see a specialist who gave him a programme of exercises which includes Plates and Yoga to combat his problem. So far this season it seems to have worked, I'm pretty sure Dylan wasn't wanting all the strained groin and hamstring problems which blighted his earlier career and we're now seeing the benefit of a fit and healthy Dylan.

If Dylan chooses not to sign, it’s a pity than we can’t charge him for all the medical bills and wages paid while he was on the treatment table.

Seriously?

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Think if he was going to sign, he would have by now.

[Pretty Boy]

Charging players for being injured, when we were aware of the issues when offering them a contract, seems a great way to make sure no one wants to sign for us again.

[Heisenberg]

If Aberdeen want him I can see them pulling out all the stops (offer more cash than us) to get him signed. Especially with them losing McLean in the summer.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Not fussed .... if he stays good of he goes fine...happens all the time to hibs and will do again in the future... no point dwelling on it

[Captain Trips]

DM has had a great season both on the pitch and with his fitness. I would rather have DM even for 20 games a season rather than he play 20 for anyone else.

A great player for us.

I think everyone would. But the club has to decide if it's worth making someone a top earner who may miss many games, or if that big wage could be better spent elsewhere. It is a risk.

He's already made more appearances for us this season than any other though, so hopefully those problems are behind us.

Yeah no point discussing whether a key member of our team is staying or going, right enough...

Why.As it gets nearer the start of next season clubs make daft offers.Any player in demand is going to wait as long as he can.

[eastcoasthibby]

Maybe if Hibs are serious about wanting to progress the wage structure needs to increase even slightly by 1k per week ...might well be enough to attract a bigger pool of players at a similar to Aberdeen ..it doesnt mean everyone gets it but the capacity is there ! ST sales of 1k would fund 6 players getting offered 1k over current limit ? Might well be enough to keep the likes of Dylan !!!

[ancient hibee]

Do you really think an increase of £50000 a year is slight? I was obviously in the wrong job

[Baw187]

I reckon he’ll go. He’s been here a few years and probably wants a different challenge. Good luck to him.

Challenge for us will be replacing him and probably McGinn who is sure to also go in the summer. A double whammy.

In football terms even at Hibs level its not that mental ....I think we all reckon we were in the wrong job when it comes.to most full time footballers nowadays, seriously its where I see the next level for a team like us,

But that would mean being a free agent over the summer with the hope something turns up by the end of August. Quite a risk - just ask Fraser Fyvie.

[jeffers]

I thought NL's comments at the AGM were surprising. For him to imply McGeouch was playing more this season as his contract was up and his injury issues may have been in his head I can't imagine would have gone down too well. I obviously don't know what conversations NL and McGeouch have had in private, but makes me wonder how much Hibs really want to keep him.

I know I'm in the minority but I'm not fussed if he stays. He definitely has ability but doesn't effect games enough. If he does leave and we can get Scott Allan back on a longer term deal I'd be happy with that.

Last season pretty much all our players who renewed waited till the summer to do so

And you have a point regarding Fyvie but I think it's clear that McGeouch is much more highly rated at this point than Fyvie was last season

I think that was because we weren’t 100% sure what division we were going to be in

[Hibeewilly]

Dylan McGeouch is the one player who can take (and always shows for it) the ball in tight spaces. For me he is a must sign. A great player.....I think he will go on and play at a much higher level. In saying that I think he will sign the new improved contract

[ancient hibee]

He would be a very ordinary player at a much higher level.The least expected from these players is that they can give and take a pass.He does this but would need to add a lot more.At the moment he has no pace,can’t shoot and regularly goes to sleep defensively and is caught on his heels.He suits us because there are so few players in Scotland who can be relied on to control the ball regularly which he is good at.But anything on top of that,not for me.

[Col2]

I think he will stay but if he doesn’t then wish all the best. Played his part in historic moment for our club, helped get back to the top league and has played very well this season with still a few key games to go.

Presumably those are the games that he started. My impression is that he went off injured in an awful lot of them.

[erin go bragh]

Aberdeen mate reckons Dylan has already signed a pre contract with them .
Surely if true , we would have heard. Says he saw a picture from inside Pittodrie,with Dylan and a Hamilton player who he says has also signed one .

Lots of our players who have done really well for us may look ordinary at a higher level. It's at this level that counts. We have had some pish at this club to have a player whom might just make simple passes will do for me at this juncture.

while dont dispute he could already be a don I doubt pre contracts are signed or pictured at stadiums.

He does fine for me too.I was commenting on the opinion that he was a great player who would play at a much higher level.

[Manxhibs]

Funnily enough I heard today that Dylan has signed an extension.
