Dylan McGeouch to Aberdeen?

Injury worry vs sell on and potential value?

Wee Omeonga wins hands down

I just feel he has more of an influence on games. I liked Omeonga but I just don’t see him scoring/assisting much. A midfield of Allan/Mallan/Omeonga is very unbalanced to me

[Vault Boy]

Dylan is too good for Aberdeen. He'll be wasted by their anti football.

Dylan never assisted or scored goals either. That wasn’t his game and it isn’t Omeongas.

I can't see any midfield with both Allan and Mallan working.

Either or, and I prefer Allan.

Dylan would have been perfect for one of the other slots.

Without having seen any of our new boys yet, I don't think we're even close to cracking our centre midfield issue yet, and that was our problem during our pitiful first half of last season.

How many and goals and assists did Mcgeouch get at Hibs?

Totally agree about Allan/Mallan but it’s tricky as Allan has to play and Mallan is always a goal threat and can assist. Could a solid CDM sort that?

Even playing Slivka wouldn’t work IMO

He has more of an influence on games than Omeonga as I said, surely no one can deny that?

Personally can’t see Omeonga controlling a game like Dylan did

If you put Omeonga in the midfield with McGinn and Allan, you see a different kind of player. Dylan was complimented by the players around him. It's no coincidence that he's struggled at Sunderland without that quality around him.

[Diclonius]

McGeouch is a player who clearly was never really attached to us. It's his choice - we'll just have to sign better.

So, by your reckoning, Dylan is going to be injured EVERY time Aberdeen play Hibs. Intresting

So no change there!

[Clarence]

Was there not an interview with him, just prior to leaving us, talking about having only so many playing years left and having to make the most of his career financially? I’d imagine that he’ll go where he can get the most cash. Fair enough. In terms of coming back to us, he strikes me as a bit of a cold fish, so probably feels that he won the cup with us and won’t emulate that feeling at the club again. I’d like to see him back but don’t see it happening and happy for both parties to move on.

Always one of the last off the pitch applauding the fans after every game.

I always had the impression he loved it as Hibs.

Times that he got game time at Sunderland he was the same, always going to every corner of stadium to clap fans and being last off pitch.

He did. And if it wasn’t for our previous manager and his ‘man-management skills’ he’d probably still be with us now.

But but but wasn't it Lennon who went to Dylan's house to persuade him to re sign for Celtic

[DetroitHibs]

Dylan played his best football in a Hibs shirt under Lennon. Neil got the best out off Dylan wether he likes it or not. I’m confident he won’t see form like that anytime in his career going forward. I think the right mix of players in the midfield allowed Dylan to shine and flourish. He lasted one year in the third tier of English football and couldn’t cut it. Time will tell how great he is.

I’m sorry but that’s drivel. Anyone who saw the state of him at the end of his last game for us could see that

So did Dylan sign for Aberdeen before the euro date cut off?

Yes, Mallan achieved all of that. Some folk still don’t rate him though, which I find baffling.

I was one of his biggest critics at times last season. And I admit he is of immense natural talent at striking a ball. I do however have a lot of issues with his overall play in midfield, he switches off often and he never seems to grab games. These things don't make him a terrible player, in fact if he didn't have these issues then he wouldn't have came to Hibs I'm sure. They just mean we need to tighten up and have additional players that can cover for that. Which I don't necessarily think we have or have had in his time here so far.

I am very intrigued to see how him and Allan will fit into a midfield together without some sort of John McGinn type or two.

Think they can still do a 'wild card' signing before Thursday

[Tyler Durden]

I’ve absolutely no doubt that Allan and Mallan will play well in the same midfield. With a solid number 6 behind them we’ll have a good mix. Ideally that would be someone with a bit more dig and energy than Dylan.

If we signed Dylan I’d see him competing with Mallan rather than playing deeper.

It seems like the issues with Ojo has set us back a bit in signing that defensive midfielder? We’re probably still working to sign him whilst also now looking at our second or third choices. I could see us signing a young loan player for that role as most top teams now develop that type of player as a specialist position.

It's a shame Rangers probably wouldn't entertain the idea of loaning players to us because Ross McRorie would have been fantastic in the role, albeit a bit inexperienced on the whole but would have been desperate to prove himself to his club and doing it in Scotland would have been a good way of doing so.

Is he that good? Has potential but to me seemed a bit of a thug and not that great on the ball.

Somebody like Allan Campbell at motherwell would be good, unfortunately he's got 2 years left at motherwell

Yeah he would have been ideal. I suppose Portsmouth isn’t a bad move for him for a year

Killie have done well finding Power and Dicker for that position in recent seasons. I’m sure we have targets that we’re working on. We’ve just been spoiled with so many other signings coming in early for once!

He's got that edge to him but not sure I'd class him as a thug as such. Plays centre half as well so needs to nail down a position at this stage in his career, one or the other.

If we are aiming to compete with Rangers then I dont think we should be loaning players from them. It was fine leaning players from Celtic when we were a league below but really sont think we should be loaning players from any other team in our league. There should really be rules which prevent it to protect the integrity of the league

Not sure I agree with that. Good players fall through the cracks at both Clubs constantly and can be developed further, admittedly it may benefit Rangers etc long term but it could force moves in our favour if they enjoy their loans. We took Scott Allan 18 months ago on loan and he transformed our season, a loan move that probably paved the way for his return this summer.

Aberdeen's style of football has done not too bad for the likes of Mclean, Shinnie and Jack who have all went on to bigger things since leaving them. Seems they churn out some decent midfielders?
