Unused sub again for Sunderland this weekend. Sunderland’s fans very much split on his ability and importance to the team. Could be worth a loan deal in the summer? Especially if they go up.

Too cultured for the industrial lower leagues in England. If he wants to play at a higher level than SPL he’d be better off going abroad.
Or come back to Hibs 😃

Speaking to a Sunderland Season Ticket holder a couple weeks back, he said the majority of fans don't rate him, doesn't "play the ball forward enough and useless when they're on front foot". Jack Ross obviously fancied him when he signed him, but prefers to play Honeyman and one of Leadbitter/Cattermole in the DM role. He's got some hefty competition in centre midfield, if Sunderland go up this season, which is a big if, then I can see him coming back home.

Said at the time it was the wrong move for him
..he should have stayed where he was imo. Was in fringes of Scotland squad with us...now he's not getting a game in league 1..money isn't everything

Last thing Dylan needs is a season out of the team, losing the fitness and consistency he built here. Wouldn't be surprised to see injuries bother him if he gets chucked in every week somewhere now.
Would love him back but it's unlikely.

Jeez. Do people believe that was the only reason he left ? Tripling his salary and a new challenge wouldn’t have been a factor? Originally Posted by J-C

This is a player who went from Celtic to Rangers then back to Celtic ...he doesn’t have a track record of staying at one club ...

I’m pretty sure at least doubling his money had something to do with it as well. Originally Posted by J-C

Neil had a massive impact in turning him to a very consistent player who could get Scotland callups. I'd have thought they'd be on good terms? Originally Posted by J-C

He was 18 when he left Rangers to join Celtic and 15 when he left Celtic to join Rangers. He joined Hibs after 20 games for Celtic and being put out on loan. He has had 3 permanent clubs by the age of 26, hardly club hopping Originally Posted by bigwheel

It’s well known he had no time for Lenny. Probably something to do with his mental state being questioned publicly after the Scottish Cup semi against Aberdeen. Sure others can add some meat to the story. Originally Posted by .Sean.

Not really well known though is it? Knew all this chat would start after Lennon left. Carol, the tea lady hated Lennon, everyone knew that. Originally Posted by Frazerbob

It was known and discussed before Lennon left, you can use the search function to find the previous threads. Originally Posted by JohnM1875

It’s been discussed many times. At the time, when Dylan was offered a new deal and when he left to name a few. It happened, Lenny (who I grew to love) is/was not beyond criticism. Originally Posted by JohnM1875

Didn't Lennon make a couple of less than flattering public references to McGeouch's injuries? Originally Posted by JohnM1875

It's perfectly possible that Lennon's approach made McGeouch a better player whilst still not being appreciated.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Lennon did make Some Comments about Dylan’s injury Mindset. Perhaps more Material though was Lennon telling Dylan he could go at the start of last season if he found himself a new club ..
So it is little surprise that Dylan chose to leave when his contract was up .
That said, to balance it Lennon did get Dylan playing his best football and a Scotland cap.
To suggest it was only because of Lennon he left is too simplistic. He wanted a good career and financial move. He certainly got the latter.

Having watched Dylan at hibs over the last few seasons I was chuffed he came to Sunderland but it's frustrating that he's not getting his chance to prove himself.I know what he can do but Ross seems to have told him to sit deep and play short simple passes. He has so much more to give as we all know, fans at Sunderland seem to have marked him down as a failure already. Let's hope in coming weeks he gets back in team however I have my doubts as Max Power came on instead of him for last 10 on Friday and he's been woeful of late.

If we had a manager in Summer 2017 who wanted him we could have signed him to a new contract then and he wouldn’t have left for nothing the following summer. Originally Posted by bigwheel

That’s could be true. Manager didn’t trust him and his injuries - that was clear. Originally Posted by CapitalGreen

Whether or not Dylan would have signed is just guesswork though - suspect he may have waited to see his options anyway

Who’s to say he would have signed anything? Add in the fact that he was just coming of yet another injury at the end of the previous season, maybe we felt he needed to prove his fitness. Originally Posted by CapitalGreen

I don’t think we can say Lennon didn’t want him when he went on to play him every week when fit.

Incidentally, there were plenty of folk questioning McGeough’s mental resilience when he was injured semi-regularly. I could be wrong but I seem to recall at least one person contributing to this thread reporting that it was a common opinion amongst the coaching and physio staff at the time.
Maybe Lennon, as the Head Coach, was the one tasked with telling him about those opinions?
