Once Jack Ross finally gets his wish of signing either a player from us or one that we've also been linked with, will he **** off and look at other targets?

Not really all about the cash, it’s a foot in the door of English football too.

I agree...league 1 is very physical...just think it would be a terrible move for Dylan

Article suggest they are signing the ex jambo centre half Ozturk as well.

Jack Ross isn't going to last long based on the players he's looking at. Ozturk, Lyle Taylor and Chris Maguire all mentioned in that article. Just seems to be picking anyone that's had a season or two up in Scotland.

That kind of signing policy never works well. Dylan should have a good long think about this move IMO. Yes he'll make more money but it's a lower standard of football and he'll be playing under a young, inexperienced manager, in a 46 game a year season with big expectations from the fans about getting promotion.

He's a much, much better than that and I wonder what McLeish will make off him playing that level of football.

Yep according to that article their signing targets are Dylan McGeough, Ozturk, Lyle Taylor & Chris McGuire. It seems that Jack Ross doesnt have an original thought in his head and a very limited scouting network. A bad move for DM if he goes there and Ross will be under enormous pressure, if all he’s doing is filling the team with players he’s seen in Scotland they had better get off to a good start!

Edit. Just seen above post!

Eoin Doyle linked with them too!

[LancsHibs]

Mentioning Lyle Taylor I remember we were very interested in him under Stubbsy when he was at Falkirk but lost out when he moved to Sheffield United. Just had a look at his career on wiki and it seems to have gone downhill he went from Sheffield to S****horpe to Wimbledon with a couple of loans to a Partick Thistle in between. Looks like could have dodged one there!

If this is relevant then this board would have next to nobody on it only players and managers.

I assume Dylan signing for someone frees up cash that we’ve committed in a contract offer to him, that allows us to sign Mallan.

Think you may be on to something here. Would explain delay in signing mallan. It was one or the other, with a preference for dylan.

Unlikely, he agreed terms with us ages ago apparently so we must be alright for the money regardless.

[johncrobertson@]

With those signings ( Dylan apart ) Jack Ross will be out of a job by Xmas

[Waxy]

It’s make your mind up time for all players with less than a year contract left. Certain we’ll hear alot next week.

Is it Modric?

[Gibby the Hibby]

Id be concerned by going to sunderland. for years now, good players have went there and
became average at best, there has to be something fundamentally wrong with the
running of the club, to get 2 relegations also,

Maybe the fact they are in league one, will make dylan think he has a season to bed in at
a lower level so it will be less pressure, I wish him all the best whatever his choice,

Sadly that sounds like McGeouch.
Hopefully, Ross gets the sack next season and all his signings are emptied, including Dylan who returns to Easter Road.

[J-C]

By going to Sunderland could this see the end of Dylan's Scotland career before it's even started.

surely it must free up money in the budget,? regardless of when agreed, now he is not signing, we will have the amount we offered him now available, and as it was a good contract that will be 6 figures a year for another player,

mallan could be a good shout, that we have waited on dylans decision before moving

[WhileTheChief..]

Have we been linked with anyone apart from Mallan? Everything else seems quiet.

[The_Horde]

What if it wasn't Dylan and was actually SJM?

Unlikely given the other suggested Sunderland signings. Ozturk, Chris Maguire & Lyle Taylor suggests they're looking for bargains & Dylan certainly fits into that category.

Can't see it.
They seem to be going down the cheap and out of contract route.
They signed ex Hearts Ozturk today and i fear McGeouch is next.
Hopefully we announce the signing of Mallan the same day to soften the blow.
