If it were true it would have been news as 3 years is a decent length of contract, which I think is the current stumbling block for getting Dylan to sign.

If I was told he would only play 20 games a season I would still have him sign. For me the gamble would be replacing him.

Could say the same about a few of them then. It's the risk you take to have a quality player in your squad. If he was to leave on a free (not sure of age you get development fee up until) I'd be very surprised if we could replace him!

Irony isn't your strong point.

Naivety is often a hallmark of the football fan. Dylan has missed more games than he's played. He's probably one of our highest earners and I douby very much Hibs will be offering him a three year deal. This season has been his most productive and he's had some good games, but he's not playing to the same standard consistently.

I would like him to sign up again, but it's a big gamble. There are no guarantees about injury and given his track record, I can't see Hibs pushing the boat out.

Is this actually fact? The way things are going, especially after today's injury, David Gray is probably nearing this category too it didn't stop Lennon offering him a 2 year deal in the summer.

Do facts count for anything on Hibs Net? I read on a thread the other day that Dylan had missed c50% of games since he signed up. Your point about Gray is valid, and we have the issue that Whittaker has a three year deal ( which now looks like a bit rash from Hibs).

I suspect Dylan will be offski.

Very true, should take most things with a pinch of salt.

that would be a real shame if we lost him now, he is playing the best football since we signed him and seems to have found a way to manage his injuries.

Hysterical hyperbole.

McGeouch has proved to be a pivotal player for us; even if he only manages twenty games a season, he would still be a crucial part of our side. If he didn’t have these issues in the past, I doubt we would have been able to sign him; McGeouch would be on a more lucrative contract elsewhere.




I don't believe our issues lie solely with our injury problems; nevertheless, I quite like how half of our first-team have spent half of the season injured whilst the perennially prone McGeouch has only missed one game in all competitions.

Here are some stats on McTickTock's appearances so far:

- Started seven games in a row (twice).
(three — 2016-17; five — 2015-16; seven — 2014-15.)

- Currently on a run of sixteen games played (in a row).
(six ; ten ; twelve.)

- In the squad for 27 out of 28 games.
(27 / 46 ; 30 / 50 ; 26 / 40.)

- Played in 26 games.
(23 ; 30 ; 26.)

He has spent a lot of time injured, yet he slots back into the side and consistently has our play running like clockwork. Now that he's ticking along nicely, I'm worried that we're running out of time to extend his contract.



Lennon was also quoted on McGeouch’s previous injury issues, stating that McGeouch had seen a professional for potentially psychological causes to his recent injuries. Lennon suggested that some of the times he has pulled up could have been partly psychological.

Perhaps it is purely coincidental; nevertheless, McGeouch hasn’t missed a day of training this season and, along with Ambrose, he has played more games than the rest of the squad.

Ambrose is another we should do everything we can to keep hold of, he has covered the inevitable concurrent injuries to Gray & Whittaker whilst providing reliable performances too. Only Stevenson has played more games than Ambrose, since he joined on loan.

Good post.
It was insanity giving Whittaker at 33, a 3 year contract. Suspect that was the delay in him signing i.e. Hibs offering a 2 year deal and Whittaker's rep's wanting a 3 year deal.
We eventually caved and it is looking very bad business at this point in time.
I suspect we are currently offering McGeough a 2 year contract due to fears of his injury recurring, and his rep's want a 3 year contract to secure his future. Given he is 24 and has been ever present this season I would take the risk and give him a 3 year deal. Importantly he is not replaceable for a team with our finances so is a special case..
I should say these are my thoughts of what happened in both negotiations so may be well off the mark.

‘Dylan has missed more games than he's played.’


I don’t agree with the following either:
‘-he's had some good games, but he's not playing to the same standard consistently.’

I believe that McGeouch is only surpassed by Stevenson for ‘playing to the same standard consistently’ - Ambrose could be another contender too. (A standard that is higher than what Stevenson provides at left-back.) McGeouch is our most reliable midfielder technically; his passing is more precise than the others and his ball retention is far superior to our other midfielders when going forward.

McGinn is far less effective without McGeouch. I can understand why some may be concerned about relying on a player that struggled in his first few seasons. Perhaps his run of games this season are an anomaly; based on the comments made by Hibs coaches and McGeouch being an ever present omnipresence this season, I think a three-year contract would be incredible business by Hibs.

I’d give him Whittaker’s three-year deal too, as a sweetener.

I don't think that's true. By a very rough calculation I reckon Dylan has appeared in around 60% of our competitive games. That also doesn't account for games where he might have been rested. As for this season I think he's 27 from 30.

Here are the facts. He's played 84 times, 22 of which have been appearances as sub. He's scored 8 goals.

In the same time David Gray has played 125 games, 6 as sub and also scored 8.

According to the club website he's made 98 appearances and 22 sub appearances.

Which still makes him in excess of appearing in half the games he could, notwithstanding games where senior players were rested.

Even if your figures were correct he's still played a fair bit more than half the games he could have, making your point invalid.

I was one who questioned his injuries and was also one who said they were in his head at times - it's no surprise to me that this season in particular he has been relatively injury free and playing very very good football, especially when contracts are up for grabs. Would love him to sign as I've always rated him highly, but I'm cynical about his previous injuries to be brutally honest MA.

Dylan has been seeing a specialist recommended to him by Robert Snodgrass since the middle of last year and the specialist seems to have made a huge difference to Dylan's injury problems.

Aware of that WPH, however even the manager has spoken to DM and alluded much of the issues were in his head. I really rate him and would love him to sign - I'm just always sceptical it takes the last year of a contract to get to root of a problem (in general, not just Dylan).

Would love him to commit to Hibs as he is playing some top stuff at present :aok:

I have heard Dylan wants to sign a 1 year extension we want 3.
He was offered 1 year months ago. I can assure you he doesn’t want 1 year

Correct. The elephant in the room is his injury.
If I was him or his adviser the last thing I would want is a 1 year deal because if the injury reoccurs he will be high and dry at 26 years old in Summer 2019.
I suspect we are currently offering McGeough a 1 or 2 year contract due to fears of his injury recurring, and his agent wants a 3 year contract to secure his future.

Found this Scotsman article from David Hardie with the same quotes including the one about Lennon verbally offering a 3 year deal to McGeough

To me that is a good deal for both. The player gets security until the age of 29 and Hibs get a player the quality of which we could not afford to replace.
With a 3 year deal the risk would all be on Hibs but in this case a risk worth taking.

Hibs have backed and gave him an opportunity to play regular football and when’s he’s fit he’s a great player but he’s spent far to much time in the stand during his time at Hibs. A fit DM is an asset to nearly every club in our league but my concern is he only seems to play every week in the final year of his contract

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.

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.

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 !!!

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.

Totally disagree. I think McGeouchs game would be very much suited to playing in Italy or Spain. I’m not saying he’s good enough for top leagues but think he’d do very well in 2nd tier of Italy or Spain as a holding midfielder. Always looks for the ball and prepared to take it regardless of pressure he’s under. One of the best in Scotland at this IMO. Be a big loss if he goes.

Dylan is a fine player, one who when fit is in the team every week. We will be losing SJM in the summer, it's vital for continuity that we keep replacements down to a minimum.

Yes bring in improvements, but to lose two of our best midfielders will be difficult to replace, and difficult to bed in quickly.

The point that I am making is that we have hardly had good value for money from him over the course of his contract. It would be frustrating to lose him now that he seems to have got the injury issues behind him.
Vital part in a Scottish cup win, 9 in a row vs the vermin and promotion, wish we got such poor value from all our signings. Dylan is a legend, I hope he stays but I'm not sending him an invoice if he moves on.

I am quietly confident he will sign another Season like this and he will get a move down South and we get a Transfer fee

Really think Hibs and Dylan are a good match. Club legend. He wont get that elsewhere and Aberdeen would be a sideways move


Also he gets to wear the no.10 jersey at Hibs, lucky git.

Some of his lofted forward passes over the Aberdeen defence were exquisite today. Hope he signs up as he is great to watch.

For once I agreed with the sponsor's MOTM. He was a bag of energy today and was playing defense splitting passes, making tackles, winning headers and getting shots on target. Best midfielder on a day of some great midfield performances.

The touch he took about 30 minutes into the game, long ball coming over his head, is the greatest touch I've seen from a Hibs player. Absolutely sensational.

Have just come from Hibs hospitality where Dylan was interviewed as MoM.

No way has he signed a new contract. When question was asked of him, he was unbelievably evasive.

I'm not saying he won't sign a new deal, but would be a big surprise to me, having heard him today, if he does.

Brilliant day out, great result and performance but comments from Dylan just soured it ever so slightly.

I think the mcgeough, Allan and mcginn combo is potentially the best central midfield since I went to my first game in 1991.

I’m convinced Aberdeen will offer more money than us. They’ll be even more desperate to get him after today.

Must have been awkward for him getting asked about it.

If he’s in the middle of contract discussions he’s not exactly going to open up and discuss his thoughts in public.

"Just enjoying my football at the moment and not thinking too far ahead".

His contract expires at the end of the season!

I'm not saying he's definitely going, but it would safe to say he's got other options. Based on what he said and how he spoke today IMO he won't be signing the current deal he has been offered by Hibs.

I hope that you are wrong.

Maybe that's just his persona.

I remember watching him on the cup final DVD's and being surprised at his glass half empty view of what could happen after we equalised.

Dylan is a fantastic footballer who I absolutely believe we have still to see the best of.

The clowns that sit at the back of the west stand behind me were apoplectic with rage when he was given motm yesterday, I think one of them even booed the decision. “Bloody ridiculous” apparently.

2 nil up and in injury time against the 2nd best team in the country and these donuts still managed to be as angry About something.

A lot of people think the sponsors motm should go to the best player rather than who the sponsors want to meet. Dylan was excellent yesterday but Daz was outstanding seeing off everything that Aberdeen threw at him.

There were a few candidates and I agree, Hanlon or Daz would have been pretty high on my list of who to give it to.

I found it incredible though that people could muster up the anger they did about something like that when he was excellent, even if I wouldn’t have given him the motm.

I think that would be a fair assumption, but your explanation would make sense. I certainly didn't boo the decision, but I was amazed when it was announced. I thought he wasn't great 1st half, but much better in the 2nd. Scott Allan was MOTM for me, but Efe could equally have been given it with Daz and Paul Hanlon (surely he must get a chance with Scotland) not far behind. In fact I didn't think we had a single failure yesterday.

If he hasn't signed a new contract then that surely means the same for us and Aberdeen. Nothing wrong with that being a tactic for both sides to up the ante. The transfer window is now part of the game but I would get rid of the pre-contract deals. Devicive and unhelpful IMO.

Absolutely, if I ever get to pick it I’m picking Stevenson even if we’ve been hammered 4-0 :greengrin

I was surprised McGeouch got it yesterday, was fully expecting it to be McGinn or Allan thought I too thought McGregor was in with a shout also

Nothing to do with progress but is all about the money and rightly so.It’s a short career and always the chance of injury particularly in his case.He obviously is concentrating on the moment.

I was privileged enough to pick Darren McGregor in the nil nil rammy v Morton last season which ended in a pagger and the big man getting sent off about 5 mins after they'd announced it. Worth it for the photo. I'm getting old for the man crush but he is worth it. He was a deserving MOM as well by the way.

I actually hate these type of people. Wish they would piss off or someone just lamp them. I really don’t get how some folk boil with rage even when it’s positive.

I think he has something lined up. He seems to love hibs and is last man off the pitch every single week after applauding all the stands. He is playing brilliantly and is injury free for the first time. Great players around him yet he won't sign a new deal.
It's strange.

But that wasn't the point you originally made. Had you said at the outset what you've just said in this post, I wouldn't have picked you up on that.

That's the chance you take when you sign a contract. Injuries are part and parcel of being an athlete and football clubs know that risk is there with every player. Sure it's frustrating if a player is out for months on end like McGeouch was in the past couple of years but it's his prerogative if he wants to move on or not. Whenever he does leave, he'll go down as a club legend.

neil7908
18-02-2018, 07:35 PM
At the start of the season I was still pretty sceptical about injury issues and whether he would be available enough to warrant a new deal on good money.

Now I think we should be throwing everything we have to get him to stay.

If he goes to England I'd understand but it'll be a real kick in the teeth if he ends up at Aberdeen, especially after yesterday!
